Homes From ‘WandaVision,’ ‘Partridge Family,’ ‘Bewitched,’ on Warner Bros. Ranch to Be Razed

Classic TV and movie houses on Blondie Street in Burbank will make way for 16 new soundstages this summer

The wrecking ball is set to fall on several historic TV homes, including the one used in both ’60s sitcom “Bewitched” and ’70s musical series “The Partridge Family,” and the retro location for Marvel’s “WandaVision,” TheWrap has confirmed.

According to a Warner Bros. Ranch source who spoke with TheWrap, the demolition is slated for an unspecified point this summer.

Warner Bros. took over the property from Columbia Pictures in 1990. Among the many movies shows that have filmed on the street are “American Beauty,” “Lethal Weapon,” “Christmas “National Lampoon’s Vacation,” “Pleasantville,” while TV shows include”Father Knows Best,” “I Dream of Jeannie,” “Eight is Enough,” “The Middle,” “Young Sheldon” and “Animal Kingdom,” according to IMDb.

The homes on the tree-lined, time-capsule street, along with the neighboring park, swimming pool and brownstone facades, will be leveled and paved to make way for 16 new soundstages, offices and parking. Warner Bros. sold the property to Worthe Real Estate Group and Stockbridge Real Estate Fund in 2019 and will move back in when the $500 million redevelopment is complete in 2025.

It seems really really stupid.

The lot should really be preserved as a historic artifact.

When we consider that the office real estate market is in terrible condition. There is so much space already. There's a huge glut and commercial properties are in serious trouble because so many people can work from home now.

To build yet MORE offices....
And on top of a lot that many would argue has significant historical value.
