Which studio location is listed for production from 1993 to 1996?
Answer
NBC Studios, Burbank
Answer
NBC Studios, Burbank
From 1993 to 1996, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was listed as being produced at NBC Studios in Burbank.
The series did not remain in one studio throughout its six-season run. Its earlier production locations included Hollywood Center Studios in Hollywood from 1990 to 1991 and Sunset Gower Studios from 1991 to 1993.
The move to NBC Studios, Burbank, covered the show’s final three seasons, corresponding broadly with seasons four through six. Burbank was a major center of American television production, so the studio location was part of the practical production history rather than the fictional setting of the series.
Another common mix-up is confusing the studio with the Banks mansion. The mansion’s exterior was a real Los Angeles-area location used for establishing shots, while most interior scenes were filmed on constructed sets inside studios. NBC Studios, Burbank therefore identifies the production facility, not the characters’ home.
