"Ballers" Season 3 is making rounds once again as the HBO's hit series left Miami to move its production to Los Angeles. Although the show's home network keeps mum about the issue, several sources reported that the title's warehouse at 3000 NW 123rd St. is now empty.
In the snaps obtained by Miami Herald, "Ballers" Season 3 is evidently left its old warehouse to start anew. In fact, this is confirmed by the filmmaking community of South Florida that the show already moved last week.
HBO had a whopping tax credit of $3.8 million on its $19.2 million of expenses for the show's first filming in 2014. The title's production cost for the second season in 2015, on the other hand, is not yet computed. With the coming "Ballers" Season 3, it is expected to be higher than the usual because of the new film subsidies in the country.
The decision of the Florida parliament to "not replenish the depleted funds" of the country's film and entertainment incentives is the main reason of "Ballers" Season 3's moving out. "HBO is a great production company. It was an awesome show to work on," a Miami-based crew said.
They, too, admitted that HBO treated them right, but Florida's legislature take its toll on them. Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado was even surprised that "Ballers" Season 3 will be no longer shooting in their country.
He even said that they have met with the show's producers to talk about the possible ways to cut the production costs, but HBO is still "disappointed" with Florida's decision. However, as Spencer Strasmore (Dwayne Johnson) is at the point of his life that he wants to go somewhere to start anew, the production's movement in "Ballers" Season 3 just came timely.
Anyhow, some are still waiting for HBO's statement about leaving Florida and the confirmation of moving "Ballers" Season 3 in Los Angeles, per FanSided. As "Ballers" Season 3 is set to start its production after the New Year and expected to be released in the summer of 2017, the network is expected to air its side sooner or later.
