Disney to Exit Historic Fox Studio Lot by End of 2025

The move consolidates Disney's Los Angeles-based production teams in Burbank as Fox pursues major expansion plans for the iconic lot.

  • Disney will vacate the Fox Studio Lot by the end of 2025, relocating production teams to its Burbank facilities to streamline operations.
  • The Fox Studio Lot, established in 1928, has been home to classic films like 'Miracle on 34th Street' and 'The Sound of Music' and recent TV productions such as '9-1-1.'
  • Fox retained ownership of the 53-acre lot after Disney's $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox assets in 2019 and is now seeking regulatory approval for a significant expansion.
  • Fox's planned development includes nine new soundstages, two office buildings, and sustainability-focused features, with an estimated $1.5 billion economic impact and nearly 5,000 new jobs.
  • The future of Disney productions currently filming at the Fox Studio Lot, such as '9-1-1' and '9-1-1: Lone Star,' remains uncertain as the relocation progresses.
