The number of active productions listed on the Georgia film office website is 56, almost identical to the number a year ago (57).
Several reality shows are back in action in Georgia the past month as well as a new musical version of “The Color Purple” starring Fantasia.
A&E’s “60 Days In,” WE-TV’s “Brat Loves Judy,” WE-TV’s “What the Flocka,” Fox’s “Lego Masters” and VH1′s “Wild ‘N Out” are among shows returning to shoot in metro Atlanta. The second season of Starz’ wrestling drama “Heels” is back as well.
Productionlist, a site that tracks active productions, cites a new Nickelodeon TV film “Fantasy Football” that is in pre-production that is not listed yet by the film office.
Disney+’s latest Marvel series is called “Echo” (under the false name “Grasshopper”) and is focused on a deaf superhero. It is in pre-production and set to start production April 4. There is also a DC Comics series under the likely fictional name “Mofongo.”
Dwyane Wade was briefly in town the past month to shoot the second season of TBS game show “The Cube,” And “Halloween Ends” with Jamie Lee Curtis wrapped.
The Georgia film office provides a live, ever-changing list of active productions, but it is not necessarily complete because production companies voluntarily inform the Georgia film office of what is happening. They are not obligated to do so. And if a company requests the production stay off the list or use a pseudonym, the film office will oblige.
