Where is 'Shark Tank' filmed? ABC making TV history with a live season premiere

The crew relocated to The Venetian in Las Vegas for Season 12, but they are back at their regular venue for Season 14

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Viewers of 'Shark Tank' often assume that the pitch room is a big office in a skyscraper, but is it? This well-liked ABC series may look like it was shot in an office complex in the center of a city, but it was really shot on the first floor of a Los Angeles studio.

The show debuted in 2009, based on the Japanese-originating format of 'Dragons' Den'. And, owing to the wonders of television, it seems to be shot in a top-floor unit in any office building in America. Perhaps this is why the show is so aesthetically enticing when it comes to Friday night viewing. It can provide a business-like impression while not being in such a location.

Earlier seasons of 'Shark Tank' were shot in California. However, the Covid-19 outbreak has caused a lot of changes that have had an impact on both the series and the companies that the Sharks have invested in. These adjustments include where the filming takes place and any additional safety precautions that are implemented. The cast and crew moved to The Venetian in Las Vegas to shoot the twelfth and thirteenth seasons, since Nevada and Las Vegas had been less affected by the virus than Los Angeles. The pandemic has had a significant impact on reality television production, since these shows demand larger teams and more intricate logistical planning. Both the cast and the entrepreneurs who came to take part in the show were put to continual testing while the show was being filmed. The crew deployed quarantine bubbles to keep everyone, including the sharks, at the proper distance from one another.

Where is Season 14 of the ABC show filmed?

The Season 14 premiere of 'Shark Tank' promises to be one of the most memorable episodes in the show's history, as it's being televised live from Stage 24, Warner Bros Studios, Burbank, California in front of a studio audience! Everyone who comes in to pitch has easy access to the location where 'Shark Tank' is taped. The studio is about a 30-minute drive from the Los Angeles International Airport. According to ABC, the one-night-only live event will allow home viewers to vote on whether the Sharks should take the plunge and make a trade. There will be no editing and the Sharks and entrepreneurs will be 'unfiltered,' so it should be a wild night. While the finalists have yet to be revealed, it is safe to say that whichever products/companies are chosen to participate in the televised event will go down in 'Shark Tank' history. It's no surprise that in 13 seasons of 'Shark Tank,' 700+ deals and over $8 billion in retail sales were made possible. Season 14 is off to a great start with this live premiere.

Season 14 will premiere live on ABC on Friday, September 23, 2022 at 8 pm ET. The episode will be available the next day on demand or on Hulu.
