A pandemic, two crises, and extensive wildfires have caused significant damage in Hollywood. Despite a drop of over 22% in filming in Los Angeles from January to March this year compared to the same period in 2024, many TV series (some already renewed for another season) are contributing to this decrease by deciding to shoot in L.A. instead of opting for alternative locations like Atlanta and Vancouver.
‘Abbott Elementary’
Quinta Brunson’s ABC sitcom, deeply rooted in Philadelphia culture, is mainly produced at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank. However, exterior scenes set in a school are filmed at an elementary school in Los Angeles, specifically at Vermont Elementary School.
‘Challenge Accepted’
YouTube adventurer Michelle Khare records her digital show where she tackles some of the hardest jobs globally, such as perfecting Houdini’s most perilous magic acts and learning martial arts to become a black belt within 90 days, in Los Angeles.
‘Good American Family’
The Hulu drama series, loosely based on the real-life story of Ukrainian adoptee Natalia Grace, was shot in various locations across Los Angeles, Santa Clarita, and Long Beach.
‘Good Mythical Morning’
The daily weekday YouTube show of the self-proclaimed “internetainers” Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal is recorded at their in-studio location in Burbank.
‘Government Cheese’
The fresh, humorous family show on Apple TV+, featuring David Oyelowo, is based in the San Fernando Valley during 1969, with the majority of its production happening there for the series.
Hacks
Even though the heart of Max’s comedic tale originally revolved around Jean Smart’s character Deborah Vance and her Vegas residency, we didn’t actually shoot scenes in Sin City until season three. Instead, most of our filming happens on a stage right here at CBS Television City. I guess you could say we bring the glitz and glamour of Vegas to Hollywood!
‘Matlock’
The first episode of the Kathy Bates legal drama reboot on CBS was filmed in Toronto, while the following 18 episodes of the show’s debut season were recorded at Paramount Studios.
‘Mid-Century Modern’
The sitcom produced by Hulu, which follows the lives of three close friends who happen to be gay and decide to live together, is based in Palm Springs. However, the majority of filming for this show takes place on a soundstage in Burbank, with only the exterior scenes of the ex-Dinah Shore Estate in Palm Springs serving as their home being shot on location.
‘Nobody Wants This’
In Erin Foster’s Netflix romantic comedy, several scenes were shot at L.A.-based locations that viewers can actually explore in person, such as Pilates Eagle Rock, Mama Shelter and 3rd Base LA in Hollywood, Iguana Vintage Clothing in Sherman Oaks, and Calamigos Ranch in Malibu.
‘Paradise’
In the storyline of Dan Fogelman’s apocalyptic thriller, the setting is a subterranean city nestled within the Colorado mountains, though the actual filming for the Hulu series happens at the Paramount studio lot.
‘The Pitt’
As an ardent fan, I’ve discovered that although some sequences from Noah Wyle’s medical drama were filmed at Allegheny General Hospital in the very city where Max resides, Pittsburgh, the majority of the production took place on a Warner Bros. soundstage instead.
‘Real Time With Bill Maher’
Each week, the comedian’s HBO chat show airs from CBS Television City, where it co-exists on the same stage with the shows “Hacks” and “The Price Is Right.
‘The Residence’
The mystery series from Shondaland for Netflix, involving a fake White House murder case, is being filmed at Raleigh Studios.
‘Running Point’
The Netflix sports comedy, titled “LA Waves,” where Kate Hudson portrays Isla Gordon, the new president of the Los Angeles Waves, was shot on the basketball team’s local pitch. Interestingly, the exterior scenes of their stadium were filmed at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.
‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’
As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to see how the global reach of this reality competition extends, with spin-offs popping up in Colombia, Mexico, and even the UK. Yet, there’s something special about the original series, as it continues to be filmed at the legendary Sunset Las Palmas Studios – a connection that never fades!
‘St. Denis Medical’
The initial episode for NBC’s mockumentary series set in a financially strapped hospital’s emergency room, situated in an imaginary Oregon town, was filmed at the old St. Vincent Medical Center in Downtown Los Angeles. The remainder of the season was shot on the Universal Studios lot.
‘The Studio’
Apple TV+’s satirical comedy-drama series, which offers an insider look into the workings of a Hollywood studio, is shot at various studios such as Warner Bros., Sunset Gower Studios, and The Lot at Formosa.
I stumbled upon an interesting tale that originally graced the pages of The Hollywood Reporter’s May issue. If you’d like to read more captivating stories like this one, consider subscribing to their magazine right here.
