The filming for the stunt, which led to road closures on McBean Parkway, occurred on Jan. 22, two weeks before the show aired.

The city of Santa Clarita saw an increase in location filming last year with the film office reporting 556 film permits and 1,385 location film days, which generated an estimated $33.9 million in economic impact to the community, according to a news release.

“This represents a 1.5 percent increase in permits, a 1.4 percent increase in film days, and a three percent increase to the estimated economic impact when compared to 2016,” said city officials. “This is the fourth consecutive calendar year the Santa Clarita Film Office has recorded more than 500 permits, over 1,300 film days and $30 million or more in estimated economic impact generated from location filming alone.”

Not included in the reported numbers are the film days and economic benefit from filming that takes place on 10 different certified sound stages, which do not require a film permit, according to officials.

“Santa Clarita is one of the preferred places for film production and location filming in the Los Angeles area, as demonstrated by yet another strong year,” said Mayor Laurene Weste. “Filming continues to be a big part of our business community and local economy, supporting high paying jobs and hundreds of local companies. We will continue to do everything we can to be a film-friendly city and ensure our unique and beautiful valley remains a top choice for productions.”

Many factors have contributed to the continued success and appeal of filming in Santa Clarita, including the city’s Film Incentive Program, Movie Ranch Overlay Zone, low cost permit fees and expedited permit processing, along with the California Film and Television Tax Credit Program, the news release said.

Another reason Santa Clarita is sought after is because of its unique neighborhoods, the mountains and plenty of open space, which offers the film community a lot to work with, said Evan Thomason, economic development associate with the City of Santa Clarita.
