What’s filming in Georgia in August 2024?

It’s relatively quiet in the state but at least all potential strikes are no longer a threat.

The good news the past month is all disputes with the major unions that work in TV and film production in Georgia have been resolved, removing an obstacle to more business in the state after a slow summer.

But over the past month, the state has seen very few production companies announcing big films or TV shows coming to the state. Rivals Los Angeles, Canada and London have been scooping up plenty of big budget projects lately.

Production activity in Georgia remains subpar with just 30 active TV shows and movies on the Georgia film office list, the slowest it’s been since January. It’s unclear if the fall will get that much better. As a result, there are plenty of empty soundstages and unemployed crew in metro Atlanta.

The only notable announced launch the past month is a new Hulu series “Chad Powers” starring “Twisters” star Glen Powell, who has been riding a wave of goodwill in Hollywood with films like “Anyone But You” and “Hit Man,” both now streaming on Netflix. Powell plays a bad boy college football player who pretends to be someone else to get ahead.

There is also indie film “Thieves Highway” starring Aaron Eckhart. He plays an Oklahoma detective in over his head in the world of modern cattle rustling.

Marvel earlier this week gave Georgia bad news by announcing the next two “Avengers” films will be shot in London. The past two, which cost nearly $800 million to create combined, were based out of Trilith Studios in Fayetteville.

In the meantime, Marvel movie “Thunderbolts” (under the pseudonym “Oops All Berries”) has wrapped in Georgia.

Only a handful of high-profile projects are happening now including the final season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” the Disney live-action “Moana,” season two of Paramount+’s “Tulsa King” and season two of NBC’s “Found.”

Dan Rosenfelt, who runs Electric Owl Studios, said it’s been a quiet summer so far but he has received an uptick in queries in the past couple of weeks. He is hoping business will pick up this fall. Electric Owl recently hosted “Flowervale Street” starring Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway and a “Naked Gun” reboot starring Liam Neeson.

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. And if a company requests the production stay off the list or asks to use a pseudonym, the film office will oblige.

“Stranger Things” is under the pseudonym “Cedar Lodge.” “Moana” is using the fake name “Canon.”
