Created by John Enbom, Rob Thomas, Dan Etheridge, and Paul Rudd, Starz’s ‘Party Down’ is a sitcom that follows a group of aspiring actors and writers who dream of making it big in the Hollywood industry but are forced to work for a reputed catering company to make ends meet and get by. In each episode, the group of six works on a new event and gets tangled with the lives of different guests.
More than a decade after getting canceled, ‘Party Down’ was revived by the network and saw the core cast members return, including Adam Scott, Jane Lynch, Ken Marino, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen, and Megan Mullally. While the comedic narrative of the show tickles the viewers’ funny bones, the use of different locations makes them scratch their heads and wonder where ‘Party Down’ is filmed.
Party Down Filming Locations
‘Party Down’ is filmed in California, particularly in Los Angeles County. As per reports, the principal photography for the revival season, that is, the third round, commenced in January 2022 and wrapped up in March of the same year. Since a majority of the story is set in LA, where the group of Hollywood aspirants moves, the filming unit chooses to shoot most of the series on location in the Golden State itself.
