A new chapter begins on June 20th, 2026 when Unlimited Studios officially opens its production facility on Myrtle Avenue, thanks to dispatch.com.

The company will become the first major film and television production operation to establish a permanent presence in Long Branch, giving the city a place in New Jersey's rapidly evolving entertainment landscape.

The grand opening celebration is scheduled for 3 p.m. and marks a significant moment for both the city and the region.

Long Branch Steps Into The Spotlight

For years, New Jersey communities have served as filming locations for movies, television shows, and commercials. Long Branch is now taking that relationship a step further by becoming home to a dedicated production facility.

The arrival of Unlimited Studios creates a new creative space where projects can be developed, filmed, and produced close to the Jersey Shore. It also introduces opportunities for local workers, businesses, and artists who may benefit from increased production activity in the area.

New Jersey's Film Industry Continues To Expand

The launch of the new facility comes during an unprecedented period of growth for film and television production throughout the state.

In recent years, New Jersey has attracted significant attention from major entertainment companies looking for modern production space, convenient locations, and strong state support for filmmaking.

That momentum has fueled a wave of development projects that are reshaping the state's role in the entertainment industry and creating new opportunities for communities across New Jersey.

Major Investments Are Transforming The State

Long Branch's newest studio joins a growing network of production facilities being developed throughout New Jersey.

Large-scale projects are underway at the former Fort Monmouth property, while additional studio campuses are taking shape in Bayonne and Newark. Together, these developments are helping create a production infrastructure capable of supporting everything from streaming series and feature films to commercials and digital content.

The result is a state that is quickly becoming a destination for productions that may have previously looked elsewhere.

Economic Benefits Could Reach Beyond The Cameras

Film and television projects often create a ripple effect throughout the communities where they operate.

Production crews require lodging, meals, transportation, equipment, and numerous support services. Local businesses can see increased traffic, while residents may discover new employment opportunities connected to the industry.

A New Era For The Jersey Shore

The opening of Unlimited Studios signals more than the debut of a new business. It highlights how the Jersey Shore is becoming part of a larger movement that is transforming New Jersey into a significant player in film and television production.
