About South

Covington, Georgia is a small town on the outskirts of Atlanta with a big reputation in the film industry. Billing itself as the camera-ready “Hollywood of the South,” Covington has starred in several films and television shows, including the popular CW series The Vampire Diaries. This week, we tour the town with southern studies scholar Molly McGehee and sit down to talk about southern television, including the economic and material impact of television shows that are filmed in southern spaces.
