Budget 2023: HBO's "The Last of Us" gets a special shout out from Alberta
The Alberta-shot HBO series The Last of Us found itself in Budget 2023, with more money being announced for a TV and film tax credit thanks to its massive success.
Tucked away in the Tourism Spending section of Tuesday’s budget, the province stated, “Building on the tourism-related success of HBO’s The Last of Us, Budget 2023 also provides an increase of $100 million over the next three years for the Film and Television Tax Credit, to attract more productions to the province that will create jobs, diversify the economy and showcase Alberta as a world-class travel destination.”
