Kenan Filming Locations
‘Kenan’ is filmed entirely in Los Angeles, California. The city is famous for the Hollywood entertainment industry, breathtaking landscape, and picturesque sunsets on beaches. As the center of America’s television and movie industry, Los Angeles is considered one of the most prominent filming locations in the world. Vincent Rodriguez, one of the actors on ‘Kenan’ shared a picture during the filming of the show in Los Angeles. Let’s find out the specific filming sites!
Universal Studios Hollywood, California
The show is filmed at Universal Studios Hollywood, located in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles County, California. The studio offers fans a glimpse into the world of movie-making and has several tourist attractions, such as The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, which gives fans a chance to explore the magical world of Hogwarts. Taylor Louderman, who plays the role of Tami, posted a picture on Instagram from the sets in Universal Studios Hollywood.
The shooting was tough to manage for Kenan Thompson and Chris Redd, as the two were also filming for ‘SNL’ during the same time as ‘Kenan.’ They had to go to New York straight after shooting for the sitcom in Los Angeles. The star of the show, Kenan Thompson, shared a post on his social media account to let his fans know about his busy schedule.
Kenan Thompson has been working in SNL for more than seventeen years. With ‘Kenan,’ he now has the opportunity to make a comeback into mainstream television as the lead in a series. Therefore, he did the filming for both the shows simultaneously. The executive producer, Lorne Michaels, believes sitcoms nowadays merely have a few episodes in one season, which gave Kenan Thompson the freedom to go back and forth to Los Angeles.
