When a show is as acclaimed and popular as abbott elementary, it's no wonder fans want to know where the scenes are filmed. The show takes place in Philadelphia, but most of the scenes are filmed at the Warner Bros studio set in Los Angeles, California.

The mockumentary series follows the teachers at a struggling public school in Philadelphia. The show has received praise for its portrayal of a realistic image of the struggles that many teachers face in poorly run schools. The show's creator, Quinta Brunson, was inspired by her own experiences in a public school classroom. She also based the character of her fictional teacher, Barbara Howard, on a real-life schoolteacher she knows.

In addition to showing the daily lives of the teachers, the show also showcases the sights and sounds of Philadelphia. For example, in one episode of the show, students and teachers go to the Franklin Institute for a field trip. The museum is famous for its giant heart and train factory, but there's much more to see at the facility.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last week, star and co-creator Brunson discussed what it was like filming in her hometown. During the interview, she shared that when the cast and crew arrived in Philly, Eagles fans were celebrating a win by climbing poles. Then, she remarked that the children used as extras in the Franklin Institute episode were real-deal Philadelphia schoolchildren, including her own seven nieces and nephews.
