Santa Clarita Transforms into a Hollywood Hotspot for "The Family Business" Filming

Santa Clarita is no stranger to the bright lights of Hollywood, and this week is no exception. From March 31 through April 5, the city will serve as a vibrant filming location for the hit series The Family Business, bringing excitement—and maybe a celebrity sighting or two—to local streets.

Why Santa Clarita? Hollywood's Favorite Backdrop

The Santa Clarita Valley has long been a go-to spot for filmmakers, offering diverse landscapes, quiet neighborhoods, and a welcoming community. Its proximity to Los Angeles—without the hassle of heavy traffic and strict permits—makes it a filmmaker's dream.

• Scenic Variety: From rolling hills to urban storefronts, Santa Clarita provides the perfect backdrop for any scene.
• Film-Friendly Policies: The city streamlines permits, making it easy for productions to set up quickly.
• Economic Boost: Local businesses benefit from cast and crew spending on food, lodging, and supplies.

What to Expect During Filming

Residents may notice temporary road closures, equipment vans, and heightened activity in certain areas. While exact locations are often kept under wraps to avoid crowds, past filming spots have included:

1. Valencia’s Town Center Drive
2. Newhall’s historic Main Street
3. Soledad Canyon’s rustic landscapes

Local officials encourage drivers to follow detour signs and stay patient—after all, a little Hollywood magic takes time!

"The Family Business" – A Show Worth Watching

Based on Carl Weber’s bestselling book series, The Family Business follows the Duncans, a crime family navigating power, betrayal, and loyalty. The BET+ drama has gained a dedicated fanbase, and Santa Clarita’s cameo in upcoming episodes is sure to excite viewers.

"We love when our city gets this kind of attention," says longtime resident Maria Gonzalez. "It’s fun spotting familiar places on screen, and who knows—maybe I’ll bump into an actor at the coffee shop!"
