It has been announced that cult US drama Preacher will film its fourth season in Victoria,
As reported by TV Tonight, the show will introduce $50 million into the Victorian economy and generate 740 jobs for local cast and crew when it begins filming.
It will be the largest TV production budget to come to Victoria since The Pacific in 2007.
The ten-part series will begin pre-production at Docklands Studios Melbourne before it films for seven months in Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Minister for Creative Industries Martin Foley told TV Tonight, “Preacher will create hundreds of jobs and development opportunities for our local screen industry talent while putting Victoria on screen for the world to see.
“Productions like this aren’t just a boon for our screen industry, but for the state economy too – in this instance to the tune of $50 million.”
Film Victoria CEO Caroline Pitcher also said, “Securing the production of Preacher for Victoria is a major coup; it is the biggest budget television production to film in our state in more than a decade.
“We look forward to showcasing the work of our industry internationally, and to seeing Melbourne shine on screens around the world through this series.”
