Over the past years, I have noticed an increasing amount of shows/movies filmed in the state of Georgia. CNN Center and The Weather Channel are also headquartered from the state’s capital, Atlanta.

The Georgia Film, Music and Digital Entertainment Office promotes filming in the state. They have been doing this since 1972. Add to that some tax laws that are favorable to the film and television industries and you have a state that no one expected passing California as the place to make movies and shows.
When a state really wants your business, they will make it desirable to work there. This is what Georgia did in order to attract the kinds of businesses they wanted. Now more stuff is filmed there instead of California.
It also helps that we have much better cameras that are able to work better in ambient light. The main reason California became the film capital of the US is because there is more Sunlight there. Seriously, that’s it. Because of the better Sunlight it was easier to film outdoors and that make it desirable. With better cameras, any place can become the place where studios prefer filming.
