The ‘Ozark’ Effect: Why the Netflix Series Will Make a Lasting Impact in Georgia
“Ozark is one of the 234 TV and film productions that helped make a dent in Georgia’s economy during fiscal year 2020. From production of season 3 alone, more than 1,000 Georgians were hired largely as members of the crew, as well as some cast, in addition to thousands more extras and security personnel. A combined more than 3,200 nights were accrued in hotel rooms. The company also used stage space in Georgia, in addition to on-location filming. Other local direct economic impacts were the lodging, craft services, car and equipment rentals, and wardrobe, hair and makeup talent. Grip/electric and sound expenses reached a combined nearly $2.6 million. Expenses for set dressing and props reached nearly $1.5 million.”
