Lights, Camera, Action in Gwinnett!
The call of “rolling!” has been echoing across Gwinnett County recently as several major film and television productions have descended on our towns. From downtown Lawrenceville to the streets of Duluth and Suwanee, our communities have turned into real-life backlots and soundstages.
The hit Netflix series Stranger Things is back to lens its fifth and final season amid the historic buildings and quirky shops of Lawrenceville’s Aurora Theatre district. Fans have been buzzing with excitement trying to catch glimpses of the Upside Down coming to life.
Just up the road, a tightly-guarded Marvel Studios project, rumored to be part of their blockbuster cinematic universe, has been utilizing outdoor locations across Gwinnett to create their latest superhero action spectacle.
While these productions bring plenty of celebrity glamour, they also deliver something more impactful – an economic boost to local businesses and communities.
