where was the walking dead filmed

“The Walking Dead” was filmed primarily in and around Atlanta and Senoia, in the state of Georgia, USA, with most later seasons centered around studio backlots and nearby rural towns in that region.

Main filming hubs

• The early seasons were shot largely on location in Atlanta , including downtown streets and surrounding highways seen when Rick first rides into the city.

• From season 2 onward, production shifted heavily to the Senoia area south of Atlanta, where purpose‑built sets and nearby small towns doubled for many of the show’s communities.

Key specific locations

• Raleigh Studios Atlanta (also called Riverwood Studios) near Senoia, Georgia served as the main production base and backlot for later seasons, including the prison and Alexandria sets.

• Downtown Senoia, Georgia was used as the town of Woodbury, while other nearby rural spots provided farms, back roads, and survivor outposts seen throughout the series.

TL;DR: “The Walking Dead” was filmed mostly in Georgia, especially Atlanta and Senoia, using a mix of real city streets, rural towns, and large backlot sets built at Raleigh/Riverwood Studios.
