FilmL.A.’s 2017 Pilot Production report counted 173 broadcast, cable and digital pilots, including 109 dramas and 64 comedies last year; 12 of these filmed in Georgia. The Peach State came in fourth behind California (68 pilots), British Columbia (21 pilots) and New York (24 pilots). Ontario had 5 pilots, New Mexico had six and Louisiana had five.

FilmL.A.’s report also examines straight-to-series show orders and digital pilot projects in production: a total of 65 network, cable and digital shows were ordered straight-to-series in the 2016-17 cycle. Cable networks put 29 shows into production, while digital networks launched 27 shows and broadcast networks launched nine shows straight-to-series.

Georgia holds its number four ranking from the 2015-2016 cycle. The FilmL.A. report did note, however, that the number of pilots made this year is two dozen fewer than normal.
