12 TV Shows That Switched Locations Halfway Through (& What Happened Next)

Typically, TV shows stick to one core setting, but some series change location after a while, altering the focus of their stories and characters. Especially for sitcoms filmed in front of a live audience, one primary location makes sense in order to keep sets to a minimum. Still, any show can begin to feel stale in its stationary setting and need a change of scenery. While too much of a difference can risk the series “jumping the shark,” there are also shows where the change of central location — from a high school to a college, for instance — hardly comes off as a change at all.
