The dog days of summer are here, and TV and film production in Georgia remains in the relative doghouse.

The Georgia film office has just 22 active shows or movies listed on its website, down from 25 a month ago. It has been nearly a year since the total exceeded 30.

The new productions that started shooting in Georgia this month include two new syndicated game shows, a Lifetime Christmas movie and a Netflix comedy starring Bert Kreischer called “Free Bert.” Long-running reality shows “7 Little Johnstons” on TLC and “Married to Medicine” on Bravo are also back in production.

Several major productions wrapped since mid-June including the biopic “Madden” starring Nicolas Cage, Farrelly Brothers comedy “Driver’s Ed,” Amazon comedy “Judgment Day” starring Will Ferrell and Hulu drama “Murdaugh Murders” featuring Jason Clarke and Patricia Arquette.

Tyler Perry shot two comedy series over the past month, “Assisted Living” and “House of Payne’ and is now taking his annual summer break.

ExploreTyler Perry has delivered eight BET shows in six years. None have been canceled.

DC’s heavily marketed “Superman” superhero movie debuted this past weekend to solid box office grosses after shooting a bulk of its production last year in Georgia. James Gunn, the movie’s director and co-chief of DC Studios, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution last month that he would love to keep shooting in Georgia, but the United Kingdom has provided so many enticements, it’s become harder for the state to compete.

DC Studios has not yet committed to any forthcoming projects in Georgia, and there have been no announcements of any comparable-sized movies coming to the state in the near future from any producer.

The Georgia film office provides an ever-changing list of active productions, but it is not necessarily complete because production companies are not obligated to update the state office.

If a company requests that a production stay off the list or asks to use a pseudonym, the film office will oblige. Currently, there doesn’t appear to be any productions using pseudonyms on the list.
