ive seen a few shows filmed there, they have a made in Georgia segment at the credits

Yeah, the Atlanta area is home to a lot of movies and TV shows at this point. There's even a huge movie studio built south of Atlanta (Pinewood, opened in 2014).

Most of the recent Marvell movies were shot here.

Recent films shot in Georgia include: Godzilla: King of Monsters, the Ant Man movies, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther, Pitch Perfect 3, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House and Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Some television shows shot here: Stranger Things, Ozark, The Walking Dead, MacGuyver and Atlanta.

There's definitely a booming production industry in the Atlanta area.

Archer.

With Atlanta being home of Cartoon Network (and most of Turner's stuffs like TBS, CNN, etc.), there's been a huge animation scene there for 20+ years.

Wait they called their studios Pinewood? As in the same name as the famous British studios where they film James Bond and stuff? Come on Atlanta get your own studio name! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinewood_Studios

It's the same group. Pinewood Atlanta was their first US location. There's also a Pinewood Malaysia.

Of course this is all due to a financial/tax incentive for movie studios. But it seems to have produced a volume of productions: in 2016 more feature films were produced in GA than in CA.

Georgia has become a hotspot for filming movie and TV shows. They probably have a ton of incentives for studios, but I haven't looked into it.

20% Tax credit with an additional 10% if they include that filmed in Georgia logo in the credits. There may be more but that is the big one I am aware of.
