Select TV Series Heat Up Location-Rich Metro Atlanta
There’s a cool kind of hot going around right now—with plenty of action in TV filming all around metro Atlanta, including Dunwoody.
TV series in particular are keeping studios, locations, crew members, hospitality businesses and other vendors swimming in work compared to this time last year. And we haven’t even hit the Summer Solstice on June 20, 2025.
Here are three ultra-popular shows streaming on various platforms now, while simultaneously creating new episodes for hungry content consumers to enjoy indoors in the AC or poolside on the large-screen TV.
“English Teacher,” season 2 – The FX comedy series set in Austin, Texas, is shooting its second season in metro Atlanta this summer, in Douglas County at Lithia Springs High School, less than an hour from Dunwoody. Season 1 was shot here in 2024 and streamed on Hulu. The series stars actor and comedian Brian Jordan Alvarez as a Texas high school teacher navigating a challenging career. Alvarez also executive produced, as he did with TV series “Atlanta,” also from Disney Entertainment’s FX. Hot fact: a 97% Rotten Tomatoes score.
“Tulsa King,” season 3 – Starting with Season 2 of the crime drama, series production shifted from its sole Oklahoma base to shooting in Atlanta, as well, reportedly because the weather is better. Beyond shooting on-location around the metro area, the Paramount+ show’s indoor scenes are shot at Eagle Rock Studios in Norcross, 20 minutes from Dunwoody. Spirited star Sylvester Stallone plays Dwight “The General” Manfredi in the series, a mafioso released from prison and starting up again. Hot fact: the show marks Stallone’s first leading role in a TV series.
“Reasonable Doubt,” season 3 – The Hulu Original legal drama, executive produced by Kerry Washington (who also directed the series pilot), is about a brilliant Los Angeles defense attorney who continually butts heads with the justice system. Stars include Emayatzy Corinealdi (“Ballers”) and McKinley Freeman (“Hit the Floor”). On-location shoots have included Decatur Square, while many indoor scenes are filmed at Eagle Rock Studios. Hot fact: Rumer Willis joins the cast for season 3.
