'Ugly Betty' heads to New York


May 07, 2008 The dramedy, starring America Ferrera, is set in the Big Apple but had been filming in Los Angeles for its first two seasons. Key in producer ABC Studios' decision to make the move is New York state's recent decision to triple its tax credit for film and TV productions to 30%, with New York City offering an additional 5% credit. Because of the relocation, about 150 crew members on "Betty" will lose their jobs, though most are expected to be reassigned to other ABC Studios shows based in Los Angeles.
