Amazon show director pulls series out of Georgia due to abortion bill: 'There is no way we would ever bring our money to that state by shooting there.'
An Amazon Studios show that had been slated to shoot in Georgia will no longer do so as a result of the state's controversial new abortion law.
For the past few months, employees of the 10-part series had been scouting the region for shooting locations, but after Gov. Brian Kemp signed the"heartbeat" bill into law, Morano pulled them. Executive producers Jane Featherstone and Naomi De Pear of Sister Pictures added in a statement to Variety that"no production commitments have yet been made to shoot in any location in the U.S."
However, Hollywood stands to make perhaps the biggest splash in Georgia, where many films and TV shows are made. Almost immediately after Kemp signed the Georgia bill, two filmmakers, David Simon of Blown Deadline Productions and Christine Vachon of Killer Films, announced that they'd no longer work in the state.
