Thanks to large tax incentives, the Camera Ready state of Georgia has become the go-to place for film and television production in recent years. Such production has proven financially significant for the state, with an estimated $9.5 billion impact in 2017. Advertising that Georgia is Every Location, the state offers filmmakers a diverse array of landscapes, settings, and moods at an affordable cost. While Atlanta has received a great deal of attention from producers, smaller towns have also become the sites for a number of highly successful television series. Jackson stands in as Hawkins, Indiana in the Netflix series Stranger Things ; Senoia is home to The Walking Dead ; and Covington, The Hollywood of the South, sets the scene for In the Heat of the Night, The Vampire Diaries and Sweet Magnolias, among others.
