Later this summer, CBS daytime’s The Bold and the Beautiful will began taping all-new episodes at its new digs after 38 years at Television City in Hollywood. Now, B&B is keeping its production unit and production in tact, and moving just about 15 minutes away to Sunset Las Palmas Studios.
In a statement to Deadline, series executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell shared, “It’s been an extraordinary 38 years at Television City, where we have produced over 9,600 episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful. As we look ahead, we’re excited to begin this next chapter at Sunset Las Palmas Studios —continuing our production in the heart of Hollywood and the great state of California.”
After its annual summer hiatus, B&B is slated to restart production on August 19th at at Sunset Las Palmas Studios. The studio is part of the Sunset Studios complex owned by Hudson Pacific Properties.
Sean Griffin, SVP of Sales for Sunset Studios and Quixote expressed in a statement, “We are honored to welcome The Bold and the Beautiful to Sunset Las Palmas, where we will deliver world-class service to ensure the entire cast and crew have an exceptional experience. Their long-term recommitment to Hollywood at this pivotal moment is an important symbol for the industry, and we hope others will follow their lead.”
The Bold and the Beautiful was among a handful of shows filming at Television City after CBS Corp. sold the studio complex to Hackman Capital Partners in 2019. The Young and the Restless is still taping there, which breaks up, for the time being, the sister soaps from being across the hall from one another.
Since, B&B’s lease at Television City was up this year, they took this opportunity to relocate their studios ahead of what is presumed to be a three-year pending renovation and construction project for the facility which is said to take about three years.
The Bold and the Beautiful was renewed this spring for three more seasons taking through at least the 2027-28 television season.
So, what do you think about B&B moving to brand new studios and away from its home of 38 years? It is understood that they will be using the same sets just moving them to its new facility to take all the drama, fashion and romance that the CBS soap is known for.
