A report released in December finds that film and television production in New Jersey brought in record-breaking numbers in 2021.

It's expected that next year's report on 2022 activity will deliver another round of record figures.

"We are going to increase the number of features we had, the number of major television programs, and certainly the revenue that the state receives from film and television production," said Steven Gorelick, executive director of the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission.

According to Gorelick, productions come to the Garden State for both studio and on-location work. The Murphy Administration attributes much of New Jersey's recent success to the reinstatement of a tax incentive program.

"Very few states are receiving this level of production," Gorelick said.

Below is a sample of major projects that are either underway or have wrapped up in 2022.
