“We could not be more excited to welcome Orbital Studios to Television City,” said Anthony Mazziotti, executive director of stage operations and marketing at Television City. “Their work puts this lot among the most advanced production environments anywhere, while honoring everything these stages have stood for. This is exactly the kind of partnership that keeps Television City both iconic and essential.”

Orbital is currently in production on the FX series “The Drop: A Snowfall Saga.” Its recent credits include the Netflix series “Nemesis,” for which the team rebuilt portions of downtown Los Angeles from digital scans, “Justified: City Primeval”, “History’s Greatest Heists”, and the recently released 20-part docuseries “World War II with Tom Hanks”.
“Walking these stages, you feel the weight of what was made here,” said A.J. Wedding, founder and CEO of Orbital Studios. “Generations of crews poured everything they had into these rooms. That legacy makes us determined to get it right. We’re bringing the latest in virtual production technology and the most talented virtual art and AI artists inside spaces that helped define American television, because the best way to honor a storied place is to make sure the next great stories happen there, too.”
