Binge Watch and Visit These Georgia Filming Locations
Binge-watching, or the act of lying in bed with a copious amount of snacks, is popular with Netflix and Hulu-based shows. With an entire season (or an entire series!) in some cases, why stop watching at one episode?
Georgia is the filming home to many shows that invite viewers to gluttonously watch in one or two sittings. When you're done, peel yourself off the couch for a few hours and go see these Georgia locations!
Stranger Things
The easiest "filmed in Georgia" show to binge-watch is "Stranger Things." Jackson, Georgia, is home to many of the filming locations for the show. Jackson's town square alone contains the show's vandalized theater, Joyce's store and back-alley showdown location. The upside down is NOT included.
With season five premiering on November 26, 2025, it will take nearly 26 hours to binge watch the first four seasons.
The Walking Dead
"The Walking Dead," Georgia's home-grown zombie phenomenon, was primarily filmed around Senoia and the surrounding areas. The first season illustrates Atlanta during the post-apocalyptic crisis, but the survivors venture out of the city for the following seasons.
Senoia is your hub for everything Walking Dead. Senoia has its own Walking Dead Tour, and you can grab a bite to eat at Greg Nicotero (the heartbeat, or, erm, non-heartbeat, of Walking Dead zombies SFX) & Norman Reedus' (Daryl Dixon) restaurant, Nic & Norman's.
To watch through season 11 of "The Walking Dead" will take five days, 16 hours, and 45 minutes. Remember to shower so you don't smell like a walker.
The Vampire Diaries
Another fun show to binge-watch is the hit series "The Vampire Diaries." The Vampire Diaries filmed in Covington (or Mystic Falls, Virginia, for dedicated fans). Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley star as brothers who return to their hometown 145 years after they are turned into vampires.
Covington has tons of activities for loyal followers of the show, including tram tours from Mystic Falls Tours. The infamous Lockwood Mansion is a tour exclusive. The Mystic Grill Restaurant serves locally grown food for those not interested in blood. And nearby Conyers is home to The Celtic Tavern, which serves as the home of Gillespie's Pub featured on "The Vampire Diaries" spin-off, "The Originals." To watch through season 8, set aside four days, 22 hours, and 25 minutes.
When you're finished with this binge, why not check out some movies filmed in Georgia? Happy watching!
