    The First Lady Series: Here’s What We Know

    The First Lady TV series on Showtime will display the first ladies of the White House in some of America’s most tumultuous tomes of modern history.
    Other stars that have been cast in The First Lady are Rhys Wakefield, Judy Greer, Jayme Lawson and Kristine Froseth.
    The series, created by Andy Cooley, will be broken down into three seasons.
    • Season 1 focuses on Eleanor Roosevelt (Anderson)
    • Season 2 will be about Betty Ford (Pfeiffer)
    • Season 3 will center on Michelle Obama (Davis)
    Let’s look at each of the main characters and their legacies.

    Michelle PFeiffer As Betty Ford

    First Lady Betty Ford was known as one of the most outspoken first ladies that have ever been in the White House. Her liberal stances on many social issues caused some stinging rebukes from Republicans despite her husband’s attempts to appear as a moderate.
    Mrs. Ford also helped raise awareness for women’s issues like breast cancer after she underwent a mastectomy in 1974. She also did a lot to make treatment for drug abuse more acceptable among the public, rather than a strictly criminal issue.

    Gillian Anderson As Eleanor Roosevelt

    For much of her time in the White House, Eleanor Roosevelt was seen as a controversial figure, mainly for her unwavering support of civil rights for black Americans.
    She also knew how to charm the media outlets in the day. She was adept at giving regular news conferences, she wrote a magazine column and even hosted a radio show.

    Viola Davis As Michelle Obama

    As the only two women who are contemporaries, Davis and Obama have a lot in common.
    Obama, the wife of the nation’s 44th president, Barack Obama, is the only first lady that is a lawyer. Despite enduring racial attacks from her own constituents, Mrs. Obama adopted a “when they go low, we go high” mantra. She took on obesity among the youth and became a staunch advocate for clean eating and exercise.

    When Will The First Lady Come On?

    While the show has began pre-production and filming on location in metro Atlanta, there is no official word yet on when The First Lady will air on Showtime.
    With such a stellar cast, you may be wondering how the show will turn out. Us too! Basically, we can’t wait to see The First Lady on Showtime!
    With more than 900 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.
    There are so many movies filmed in Atlanta these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all. That’s why I suggest you subscribe to AtlantaFi.com to get all the freshest movie casting calls, celeb sightings and Atlanta happenings delivered to your inbox.

    3 Min Read

    The Netflix hit Ozark is set to begin filming its final season in Atlanta. Starting December 2020, local residents can expect to see crew and production for the series around Atlanta.

    A film notice tweeted by Everything Georgia gives the date and time the production crew will be in Atlanta to begin filming Ozark.

    Ozark’s Final Season Filming In Atlanta

    The tweet, which has since been deleted, said: 

    “Blue Cat Productions, LLC will be filming on Thursday, December 10 (from 8:00pm to 2:00am) at Brickworks Atlanta, 1000 Marietta St. NW, Atlanta, HA 30318. Crew will prep the area on Dec. 8 and Dec. 9  and will strikeall materials on December 11.”

    Ozark is a series centered Marty Byrde, a financial advisor who takes his family on the run after he gets involved with a money laundering deal that goes bad. Soon, the Byrdes find themselves subject to the whims of a Mexican drug cartel.

    Instead of showing you Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks, which is what the series is based on, you get some Peach State piedmont. The movie is filmed in Georgia, primarily in Atlanta and Savannah.

    Ozark Filming Locations

    The hit series has filmed up and down Interstates 85 and 75 in Georgia, going as far as the coast as well as North Georgia. Much of the filming has been done around Georgia’s best beaches, including:

    • Lake Allatoona
    • Lake Lanier

    Where Was Ozark Filmed?

    Inside and outside the perimeter, actors have shot scenes in different parts of metro Atlanta. Some other locations where Ozark was filmed include:

    • Canton
    • East Atlanta (Starlight Drive-In Theater)
    • Marietta
    • Norcross

    • Woodstock
    Because of the steady flow of movie and TV productions, Atlanta has been called the Hollywood of the South and it’s not just a label.. If you want to be an actor, the city has classes you can take as well as places that provide headshots and more. You can also audition at numerous casting calls to build your movie and TV reel.
