Where Does ‘Grace and Frankie’ Take Place? It’s Not Where You May Think

The hit Netflix show Grace and Frankie has continued to win over streaming fans. The comedy series showcases two elderly ladies living their lives at a beachfront home. Both women were married, but their husbands ended up finding love with one another and jumped the broom. Of course, this naturally plays into the comedic nature of the show.

One thing Grace and Frankie fans love is their beach house because it serves up everything you want and need in a seaside home. And since showrunners have done a great job of showcasing the interior and exterior of the home, fans believe that the show was likely set and filmed at the same place. But not everything is as it seems. Read on to get the full scoop.

It turns out that Netflix’s ‘Grace and Frankie’ is mostly filmed in Los Angeles, CA.

Viewers might think that Grace and Frankie is filmed on location in La Jolla, thanks to the show’s amazing production team. But it turns out that the show is actually filmed in Los Angeles, CA.

However, the outlet also shares that the beach house is actually located on Broad Beach Road in Malibu, CA in real life — which is where the exterior scenes of the home are filmed. They also reveal that the home was actually sold for $15.725 million in 2006.

So, if you love the idea of possibly vacationing at a Grace and Frankie-style beach house, it’s best to look at locations in Malibu to get a similar feel.

Grace and Frankie is currently available to stream on Netflix.
