9/24: Possible Lifetime show shooting in Atlanta
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A pilot for a Lifetime network series called “Drop Dead Diva” is shooting in the Atlanta area right now. We ran some barebones details here.
April Bowby appears to be the star, according to imdb.com. She was a recurring character on “Two and a Half Men.”
An ABC Family film starring Melissa Joan Hart (“Sabrina the Teenage Witch”) is in the works.
A ramped up tax incentives plan by the state of Georgia earlier this year is starting to draw more TV and film production here. Already, Tyler Perry’s “Meet the Browns” and “House of Payne” and the BET show “Somebodies” are already shot here. (So are Alton Brown’s “Good Eats” and HGTV’s “Deserving Design.)
The only scripted broadcast network show shot here in recent times was ABC’s “October Road” and the now-cancelled show jumped ship after six episodes.

That Lifetime show is screwing up traffic around West Paces & Peachtree. The ATL police should have told them to park their semi trucks somewhere else.

I don’t normally watch anything on Lifetime (I don’t exactly fall into their target demographic group), but I might have to at least check this this one out…. April Bowby is a flat out babe (she was Kandi on “Two and a half Men”).

The next season of “It’s Me or the Dog” on Animal Planet is based in Atlanta. Victoria Stillwell got married to a Sandy Springs resident.
