\n

The number of active TV and film productions in Georgia has been consistent over the past 16 months, largely between 20 and 30. <\/p>\n

Currently, the Georgia Film Office<\/a> reports 25, a number that would have been considered slow between 2016 and 2022 but is now the new normal. <\/p>\n<\/article>\n

\n

Higher budget movies are now frequently eschewing Georgia for states like New Jersey<\/a> (which now has arguably better incentives<\/a>) and the United Kingdom, where producers now see lower labor costs.<\/a><\/p>\n

And since California boosted its pool of tax credits emphasizing TV series<\/a> last year, Georgia has seen new TV series dry up outside of projects from Netflix, which is currently shooting \u201cAll the Sinners Bleed\u201d and \u201cA Different World\u201d reboot in the area<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Hulu series \u201cTell Me Lies,\u201d<\/a> which started airing its third season Tuesday, also left Georgia for Toronto last year after shooting its first two seasons in metro Atlanta.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

\n

On the bright side, Hulu\u2019s \u201cChad Powers,\u201d<\/a> a football comedy set in Georgia starring Glen Powell, is back to shoot its second season. Showrunner Michael Waldron told a subreddit group<\/a> that if all goes well, he could see the series running three seasons. <\/p>\n<\/article>\n

\n

Savannah has seen business slow down even more than metro Atlanta,<\/a> but it has picked up a small amount of work this month with \u201cRoad House 2\u2033 for two weeks. The film is primarily being filmed in the United Kingdom, but it\u2019s capturing some of Savannah\u2019s most iconic outdoor sites like Forsyth Park and River Street. <\/p>\n

New projects like films \u201cCross-Platform\u201d and \u201cStation Break\u201d and documentary \u201cSmoke Alarm\u201d show up on the film office tracker, but The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has been unable to confirm any tangible information on them. <\/p>\n

New Western \u201cThe Rescue\u201d from Paramount is not yet listed on the film office site<\/a> but is set to begin production in metro Atlanta next month. \u201cFamily Feud,\u201d hosted by Steve Harvey, comes back to Trilith Studios for production Feb. 9. And a fresh, live-action \u201cScooby Doo\u201d origin story series from Netflix is scheduled to begin this spring<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Georgia film office provides an ever-changing list of active productions<\/a>, but it is not necessarily complete because production companies are not obligated to update the state office.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

\n

If a company requests that a production stay off the list or asks to use a pseudonym, the film office will oblige. (Oddly, \u201cA Different World\u201d is still listed as \u201cUntitled HBCU Project.\u201d)<\/p>\n
