Netflix’s hit limited series His & Hers doesn’t just take place in Georgia — it was filmed here. The show makes heavy use of real locations across Dahlonega, Atlanta, and the metro suburbs, blending the charm of small-town Lumpkin County with the scale and grit of Atlanta.
Here’s a look at where the series was shot — and the real Georgia places behind its settings.
Dahlonega: The Story’s North Georgia Backbone
Most of the series is set in Dahlonega, a historic town about an hour north of Atlanta at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Known for its gold mining history, picturesque downtown square, and a December calendar straight out of a Hallmark Christmas movie, Dahlonega provides the peaceful façade that makes the series’ brutality hit harder.
Locals will spot several familiar landmarks on screen:
-
Dahlonega Gold Museum — seen as Harper drives through the town square.
-
Damascus Baptist Church Cemetery — used multiple times for driving shots.
-
Montaluce Estates & Vineyards — featured in shots of Mr. Duffie’s neighborhood.
-
University of North Georgia, Dahlonega Campus — appears in wide campus cutaways and scene transitions.
Dahlonega’s camera-friendly reputation is already well known — at least three Hallmark Christmas movies have filmed there since 2016.
Atlanta & Metro Area Filming Locations
While Dahlonega anchors the narrative, a significant portion of the production moved south into Atlanta and its suburbs, where the show’s institutional, residential, and specialty locations were found.
Key filming sites include:
Interior Production — Eagle Rock Studios (Norcross, GA)
Many of the show’s interior spaces — including various offices, newsrooms, and investigative environments — were built and filmed at Eagle Rock Studios, one of Georgia’s largest soundstage facilities. This allowed the production to blend on-location realism with controlled stage work.
Buckhead — Paces Ferry Road
Mr. Duffie’s opulent residence (owned by the “pizza king of North Georgia”) is actually located in Buckhead’s Paces Ferry neighborhood, one of Atlanta’s wealthiest residential corridors.
Stone Mountain Manor (Stone Mountain, GA)
In the show, Stone Mountain Manor serves as the Dahlonega Manor, though in real life it’s a Victorian bed & breakfast near Stone Mountain Park.
Former Cobb County DFACS Building (Marietta, GA)
325 Fairground Street was transformed into the show’s morgue, providing a stark government-facility aesthetic.
Stonehenge Mansion (Druid Hills, Atlanta)
Used as St. Hilary’s School, this historic mansion sits in one of Atlanta’s most architecturally rich neighborhoods.
Gwinnett Historic Courthouse (Downtown Lawrenceville)
The Gwinnett Historic Courthouse stands in for Dahlonega City Hall in the series. Built in 1885 in Romanesque Revival style, it blends perfectly with Dahlonega’s classic Southern architecture. Incidentally this is the courthouse where Larry Flint was shot in 1978.
Bigelow’s (Gresham Park)
Appears as Spirits Bar & Grill in Episode 5.
Why Georgia Worked for the Story
The contrast between sleepy mountain town and metropolitan sprawl isn’t just aesthetic — it reinforces the show’s themes of secrecy, ambition, and dual identities. Dahlonega’s serene facade makes every violent revelation feel more unsettling, while Atlanta’s institutions add procedural weight to Detective Harper’s investigation.
This mix of scenery is something Georgia offers uniquely well — and filmmakers continue to take advantage.
Cast & Crew Loved Filming Here
The stars and producers openly praised Georgia as a filming base.
Jon Bernthal, who previously shot The Walking Dead in Georgia, told Netflix:
“The Peach State is my favorite place to film. There’s a palpable sense of wonder and fun here, which reminds me why I love this work so much.”
Tessa Thompson, who also served as a producer, added:
“Georgia is an excellent place for filming… Shooting on location in Atlanta and Dahlonega allows us to engage with the local community, like newscasters and police, to add authenticity to the show.”
That authenticity is a big part of why His & Hers feels so rooted in place.
