Where Was Shameless Filmed?

The American version of 'Shameless' masterfully blends on-location filming in Chicago with studio work in Los Angeles to authentically depict the Gallagher family's life on the South Side. While interior scenes are primarily shot at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, the production team captures the essence of Chicago by filming exteriors in the city's neighborhoods, particularly in the Lawndale area. This combination brings a genuine urban backdrop to the series, immersing viewers in the Gallaghers' world.
