The Walking Dead (2017 and 2019)

The Walking Dead first shot on Jekyll Island late in its seventh season, introducing a community of survivors called Oceanside. "We sent down a 'splinter unit' of about 30-40 crew and cast to film over one weekend," Riley says. "Then, when we returned for the Season 10 premiere, we were there for a week and a half."

Location: "Driftwood Beach, on the Northeast side, had the look for what we wanted," Riley says. "It has driftwood trees: they once were inland but the ocean encroached, so now there's decayed timber. It sort of has an apocalyptic look to it, which is certainly what we want for The Walking Dead."

Trivia: Perhaps the signature show of Georgia's boom in film and TV production, The Walking Dead is scheduled to conclude with its 11th season in 2022.
