Orbital Studios Moves to 75-Year-Old Television City as LA Fights to Keep Production Local

Summary
Orbital Studios has established a new brick-and-mortar base at Television City in Los Angeles, deepening its move of headquarters and virtual production operations to the historic lot.
Founded in 2020, the company says its art teams, software and production pipelines are designed to make virtual shoots faster, leaner and easier to budget while maintaining final-pixel quality.
The relocation extends Orbital’s global expansion through soundstage partnerships and is pitched as a way to let productions capture worldwide locations without leaving Los Angeles.
That local angle matters as high-end shows increasingly shift to other states and countries, putting crew jobs and production spending in Los Angeles under pressure.
Television City, a nearly 75-year-old Fairfax District studio designated a Historic-Cultural Monument in 2018, has hosted shows including The Price Is Right and The Carol Burnett Show.
