South Carolina recently scored the HBO comedy, Vice Principals. Starring Danny McBridge and Walton Goggins, the series shot in Mount Pleasant and Charleston.
South Carolina offers several filming incentive programmes, including a 25% rebate on employee wages and a 30% rebate on locally-purchased supply costs.
As a filming location, South Carolina has in recent years been overshadowed by its neighbour North Carolina. The northern state has offered a generous 25% tax credit and secured high- profile shoots including Sully: Miracle on the Hudson, Masterminds and The Conjuring 2.
America’s overall production land- scape is shifting because California has boosted the annual fund for its own filming incentive programme.
We are thrilled that the Reckless cast and crew have found a home in Charleston and welcomed it as a main character of the show. The series really highlights all that the city has to offer and showcases the city’s diversity throughout the season.

Snow falls regularly in the mountains, but eastern regions generally get less than an inch a year. From August to October the state is vulnerable to tropical cyclones, while it gets many thunderstorms during the summer months.
