In reality, the cast filmed the show inside Chandler Valley Centre Studios in Panorama City, California. The Dunder Mifflin building is, surprisingly, not in the Scranton Business Park, like it is in the show. However, since this is a popular sitcom, the show was mainly shot in Los Angeles, and thanks to the podcast Office Ladies (done by two of the cast members, Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey), it’s possible for fans of The Office to visit these spots and see where the show was actually filmed. The characters regularly discuss the charms of Scranton, and it is possible to visit the actual town and see the spaces that the characters discuss in the show.

The small town is used to explain their hijinks, plays a role in the backstory of many of their characters, and is brought up with reference to other branches of this (fictional) paper company. The show makes many references to, and is largely based on, the fact that it is based in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Despite the show being placed in this town, it was actually shot in a variety of locations, with most scenes taking place on a set in The Valley, in Los Angeles once the show gained viewers and high ratings. The show takes place in a small town, named Scranton, in Pennsylvania. The popular sitcom, The Office, revolves around the branch of a paper company (Dunder Mifflin) and follows the lives of the employees and their eccentric manager. The office was filmed at Chandler Valley Centre Studios in Panorama City, California.
