What’s filming in Georgia in May 2023?

The most notable productions that started this past month feature some big names. Clint Eastwood is back in town to direct another film, this one called “Jury #2″ starring Toni Collette and Eastwood himself. Peacock’s new series “Hysteria” features Julie Bowen and Bruce Campbell and revolves around the Satanic panic of the 1980s. And Samuel L. Jackson is in town to shoot Netflix’s film adaptation of the Broadway play “The Piano Lesson.”

Several major TV shows and films wrapped as well, including that well-publicized Netflix action comedy film “Back in Action” starring Jamie Foxx (recuperating from an unspecified medical condition) and Cameron Diaz, the Farrelly Brothers comedy film starring Jack Black “Dear Santa” and Amazon film “Grand Death Lotto” with John Cena, Awkwafina and Simu Liu.

The Georgia film office provides an ever-changing list of active productions, but it is not necessarily complete because production companies are not obligated to update the Georgia film office. If a company requests the production stay off the list or use a pseudonym, the film office will oblige. I also glean some titles from productionlist.com and other sources. (Georgia does provide an alphabetical directory of every production it has ever kept track of here.)

Some productions listed by the film office are not using their actual name. What is listed as “My Pretty” is actually “Agatha: Coven of Chaos,” the spinoff of “WandaVision” on Disney+ featuring Kathryn Hahn as Agatha Harkness. “Conrad” is “Bad Boys 4,” which is a bit of an inside joke since a character in the first three films is named Conrad Howard.
