LAS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A touching portrayal of family relationships, 'The Baxters,' an upcoming family drama on Prime Video, is expected to captivate audiences.

The television adaptation of Karen Kingsbury's best-selling novel features a plotline heavily influenced by family dynamics.

The series centres around a family where the parents of five grown children, Elizabeth Baxter (Roma Downey) and John Baxter (Ted McGinley), gather their family to console their daughter, Kari Baxter Jacobs (Ali Cobrin), after learning of her failing marriage.

The a2zfilminglocation reports that the majority of the show's recordings were made in California.

So, now get on the bandwagon and explore the various locations where the series was shot.

Popular Culver City was used for filming a number of the show's exterior sequences.

The city, well-known for serving as the setting for numerous Hollywood productions, is most remembered for housing Metro Goldwyn Mayer (MGM) studios from 1924 until 1986.

The city's lively downtown, which features restaurants, shopping, museums, and a thriving nightlife, is another reason why visitors find it so appealing.

The first Friday of every month from September through May is Art Walk, an event that promotes the city's abundance of art and culture.

The college is housed in the Las Angeles community college system.

One of the biggest colleges in the Las Angeles Community College District (LACCD), the community college is located in Valley Glen.

The college was established in 1949 and has a 105-acre campus that resembles a park. Its most popular degrees are Child Care Provider and Liberal Arts and Humanities.

Given the series' strong religious undertone, a few of its sequences were also recorded at the renowned Congregational Church of the Chimes.

The First and Second Great Awakenings were greatly influenced by the Congregational Church, which has a long and rich history.

Furthermore, they were the pioneers of the 19th-century missionary effort.

The Congregational Church of the Chimes's Covenant is based on the same convent that was created in 1629 by the First Congregational Church in Salem, Massachusetts.

The Baxters family home is set against the opulent state and has four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The state is currently off the market and is stretched over 3,452 square feet.

The state is known for its gorgeous hardwood flooring and its family room with a patio that opens to an attractive living room with a fireplace.

There are two walk-in closets and a formal dining area in the house as well.
