Warner Bros. Studios Burbank grew from a sixty-two-acre lot built by First National Pictures in 1926 into Warner Bros.’ main headquarters and one of Hollywood’s best-known working studio lots. After Warner gained control of First National in 1928, production shifted to Burbank, which became the company’s primary base by 1937 despite a major fire in 1934. Its famous facilities include massive Stage 16 and backlot streets used for many films and television series. Television production expanded after 1955, with shows such as Friends and The Big Bang Theory filmed there. The lot later shared the name The Burbank Studios with Columbia and has continued expanding into the twenty-first century.
