Jenji Kohan Netflix comedy Slutty Teenage Bounty Hunters to film in Georgia amid abortion bill fight

Deadline

Kohan's comedy series follow-up to Orange Is the New Black has announced it will film in Georgia from July through October. The announcement comes weeks after Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos said the strict, recently passed Georgia abortion law, known as the "heartbeat bill," would have the streaming giant “rethink our entire investment in Georgia." Producers say they plan to make a donation to The Autonomy Fund, a collection of non-profit organizations that support women’s right to choose. According to Deadline's Nellie Andreeva, "the choice of Atlanta as a location had been made months before Georgia voted on the bill; it stems from the material as Jordan is from Atlanta. The series had been in pre-production for awhile; Kohan posted an Instagram photo on March 2 from Atlanta where the Slutty Teenage Bounty Hunters team had been pre-scouting locations."
