Local crew members are back at work after the production of the Netflix series A Man on the Inside relocated from Los Angeles. Mayor Daniel Lurie visited the film set at the Legion of Honor on October 7 to mark the shift.
Why it matters
The relocation follows the strengthening of the local film incentive program, which aims to bring more high-paying production jobs to the city. While the move represents a win for local industry, the final impact on long-term production volume remains to be seen.
The production employs 248 local crew members during its 28-day filming window in San Francisco. No airdate has been announced for the upcoming season.

The details
The production arrived in San Francisco after Mayor Daniel Lurie signed legislation in February 2026 to enhance the Scene in San Francisco film incentive program. The city now hosts the crew for a total of 28 days of filming. The Mayor highlighted the economic activity brought by the production during his visit to the Legion of Honor set.

Across the Bay
The move to San Francisco follows the expansion of the Scene in San Francisco film incentive program, similar to how past production shifts were driven by local tax credit adjustments. This relocation updates the program's success metric by drawing a major series away from traditional hubs like Los Angeles.
Expect temporary film equipment and production crews around the Legion of Honor throughout the 28-day filming window. Residents should watch for localized parking changes or restricted access near the museum site until production wraps.
The takeaway
The return of major production work signals a shift in the local economic landscape supported by city incentives. Keep an eye on local permit activity or municipal job board updates to see which productions follow the series to the city.
