Netflix's Ozark Was Actually Filmed In Georgia & You Can Visit These Iconic Spots

New episodes of Netflix's twisted thriller Ozark will be available to binge soon. Netflix announced on Twitter that this season's final episodes would premiere on April 29, and all of the top filming locations are situated in Georgia.

The dramatic series starring Jason Bateman centers around a family dragged into a life of money laundering, drug kingpins, and violent crime.

But some audience members may be surprised to discover that the show set in the Midwest was mostly filmed in the Southeast. Georgia's bustling film industry, large ominous lakes, unassuming restaurants, and quiet parks proved to be the perfect match for Ozark's production teams.

This list contains highlights of some of our favorite spots featured in the series, which you can still visit.
