“CSI: Miami” producers visit south Florida twice a year to shoot aerial video of Miami and environs that are seen in the show, but virtually all exterior scenes are filmed in Long Beach. Interior scenes are shot at Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach.
Produced by CBS and Jerry Bruckheimer Productions, the show has a crew of 170 and an estimated budget of at least $3.5 million per episode. (The original “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” series is still made at Universal Studios, and “CSI: New York” films at CBS Studios in Studio City).
The “CSI: Miami” production crew can often be found filming on the beaches, around the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Long Beach Performing Arts Center and in the upscale Naples community, with its multimillion-dollar waterfront homes. El Dorado Regional Park has even been used as a substitute for the swampy Everglades.
