TV shows produced in metro Atlanta as of November 2015

This list is by no means complete and if you see anything missing, please email me at rho@ajc.com. There are surely some TV movies that have been shot here recently as well.

Just to keep things simple, I've excluded reality shows that sometimes make quick visits here (e.g. "America's Got Talent") and news programs shot by HLN, The Weather Channel and CNN as well as sports shows from Fox Sports and TNT. I've also kept it to just metro Atlanta.

Featuring Amber Grimes , assistant to media mogul Nick Cannon; Devin Simpson assistant to successful real estate agent Blair Myers ; Rian Parish , assistant to popular radio personality Big Tigger ; and Drekia Glenn assistant to music executive Abou "Bu" Thiam ,

"Containment" the CW (cleared for midseason 2015-16 season) - The description, which sounds nothing like "The Walking Dead," ahem: "When a mysterious and deadly epidemic breaks out in Atlanta, a vast urban quarantine is quickly enforced, forcing those stuck on the inside to fight for their lives while local and federal officials desperately search for a cure. Trying to keep the peace on the streets is police officer Lex Carnahan, who has quickly risen through the ranks of the Atlanta PD." I have done a set visit and interviewed some of the actors but have yet to see the pilot.

"Game of Silence" NBC (for mid-season 2015-16 season) - The show is based on the Turkish format Suskunlar and centers on a rising Atlanta-based attorney (Revolution's David Lyons) on the brink of success who could lose his perfectly crafted life when his long-lost childhood friends unexpectedly reappear after 25 years.

"Quantum Break/Quest" Xbox. This is a show embedded into the game. Creative director Sam Lake explains: "You as a player get to explore those glimpses, and you get to make the decision as to which future will come to pass," Lake said. "You make that choice, and that is the reality that will happen. Right after that, we go into an episode of the live-action TV show, and the consequences of that come into play in your version of the show. You see that future happening. From that point onwards, the consequences carry on both on the show side and on the game side for the rest of the game."

"Preachers of Atlanta" Oxygen. The description,released on November 19, 2015: Through the lens of five pastors with drastically different approaches to their ministry, "Preachers of Atlanta" explores many of the most hot-button and polarizing issues in America today. From passionate discussions surrounding the validity of unorthodox ministry methods to first-person accounts of the rippling and emotional effects of racial tensions with law enforcement, these unconventional preachers have no boundaries when it comes to tackling real issues that affect real people in their communities. The five preachers challenging the status quo are Pastor Corey Hambrick , Pastor Le'Andria Johnson , Pastor Canton Jones , Pastor Kimberly Jones-Pothier , and Pastor Judah Swilley. Launch date is set for February 3, 2016 at 10 p.m.

"The Detour" TBS. Producer Samantha Bee described this edgy comedy as thus in May: "Jason Jones is the dad, and Natalie Zea, who's right beside me, is playing his wife. They have two kids, two 11-year-old twins, and they're going on a seven-day vacation. But I think there might be a detour along the way, or possibly numerous detours." This looks to debut in 2016.

"Court Me If You Can" TLC - No details what this is beyond the fact it's a reality show that appears to have something to do with dating. Will update when I get the answer.

"Stranger Things" - Netflix - Eight episodes of this supernatural drama set in Indiana starring Winona Ryder and David Harbour is set to begin production in Atlanta in the fall for release sometime in 2016. Variety's descriptive: "A young boy vanishes into thin air amid an unfolding mystery involving top-secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces — and a very strange little girl." It's like "The Whispers" meets "Resurrection."

These moms are a real class act, parlaying their executive room experience to run the local PTO and raise thousands of dollars for the town's local elementary school. Full of teachable moments, they give new meaning to "getting schooled." True Entertainment (the production company that makes "The Real Housewives of Atlanta") is involved. A preview debuted Sunday, May 10. Show officially began June 14. Given the community reaction to it and the fact the PTO was dissolved temporarily tells me there is no way they'd be able to bring this back even if Bravo wanted to.
