These TV Shows Take Place All Over The United States But Weren’t Exactly Filmed in the Plot’s City

Criminal Minds-Virginia: These FBI mind hunters traveled all over the US to track down criminals

“Criminal Minds” remain one of the most fascinating crime shows on television. Thanks to the crime procedurals involved in its setting, Quantico, Virginia was the major base for the team. However, the FBI team touched almost every major city in the United States of America, including most small towns amid its shooting. Although most of the filming took place in California, the creation of sound stages and the constructed sets took place in Quixote Studios.

Before relocating to this top studio, Culver City was the main filming location. Other exterior shots took place in different parts of California, especially Glendale and Northridge. As a result, the series got more fans in these two cities. Altadena doubled St. Louis. Missouri and Los Angeles’ Palos Verdes came in for the storylines of Vietnam. Another real-life location is Vancouver, which represented Seattle in an episode of the pilot.
