The cast and crew may not by happy about it, but production of ABC’s Ugly Betty is definitely moving to New York. The announcement was made Monday by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Governor David Paterson, and ABC Studios President Mark Pedowitz.

The network opted to move the sometimes over-the-top comedy from Los Angeles to New York in a bid to save ABC more money. In fact, Ugly Betty will take advantage of a thirty-five percent tax credit from the city and state when it makes the move from the City of Angels. It is also expected to create more than 200 full and part-time jobs for city residents.

Ugly Betty will be filmed in Manhattan and Queens.
