Rob Lowe's Mental Samurai to shoot Season 2 in Portugal after filming Season 1 in Burbank

TheWrap

To cut down on costs, Warner Bros. has set a "production hub" in Lisbon, Portugal where all the global versions of Mental Samurai will tape, according to The Wrap. American contestants will be flown to Portugal, but the show won't tape with a studio audience in keeping with Lisbon guidelines.
