You can eat at "The Blue Cat Lodge" IRL.
New episodes of Netflix's twisted thriller Ozark will be available to binge soon. Netflix announced on Twitter that this season's final episodes will premiere on April 29th, and we have all of the top filming locations.
The dramatic series starring Jason Bateman centers around a family dragged into a life of money laundering, drug kingpins, and violent crime.
But some audience members may be surprised to discover that the show set in the Midwest was mostly filmed in the Southeast. Georgia's bustling film industry, large ominous lakes, unassuming restaurants, and quiet parks proved to be the perfect match for Ozark's production teams.
This list contains highlights of some of our favorite spots featured in the series that you can still visit today.

Lake Lanier just North of Atlanta has been featured for years during the filming of the show. The reservoir is used to represent the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri where the storyline takes place.
