The Disney+ show, Genius: MLK/X, will be filming in Downtown Macon Monday and Tuesday, January 30 and 31, 2023. There will be prep work leading up to those days and clean up after.

"I hear time and time again how amazing our community is when people come from all over the country to act and film here, that it's part of the reason scouts keep coming back to see how they can work here more," says Mayor Lester Miller.
"We are definitely becoming one of the places to film because we have the people, the scenery, and the expertise that can match almost any need of a production company," says Aaron Buzza with Visit Macon. "This is great as people are staying in our hotels, hiring local people to work and act, and spending money with local businesses."
This television filming follows several movies and shows that have filmed in Macon-Bibb, including The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings, Wise Blood, A Trip to Bountiful, The Crazies, Trouble with the Curve, 42, Need For Speed, The Fifth Wave, The Best of Enemies, Zombieland: Double Tap, and Justice on Trial. Several television shows have also filmed here, including Brockmire, The Originals, The Vampire Diaries, Witches of East End, Watchmen, Lovecraft Country, The Go-Big Show, and FLOTUS.
