Posted by Ra Moon
The new HBO limited series is an adaptation of a horror mystery novel recently published in 2018 by prolific author Stephen King.
The Outsider was filmed primarily in Georgia, and it's also set here, in Cherokee Creek (or Cherokee City, as some characters mentioned in the show). Some additional scenes were also set and filmed in New York City.

The series revolves around police detective Ralph Anderson, building a case against local teacher and baseball coach Terry Maitland, who looks absolutely guilty of the horrifying murder of a young boy.
However, after publicly arresting Maitland, the investigation quickly goes wrong. Ralph will bring in unorthodox private investigator Holly Gibney, who will try to help to explain the unexplainable. Meanwhile, a creepy hooded masked man follows the developments of the case from a distance.
We won't give up on the research of the filming locations where The Outsider was filmed. Stay tuned for updates on this page!
The small suburb of Winder (east of Atlanta), doubles as the town of Cherokee Creek, where large sections of The Outsider are set.
The Cherokee County Courthouse is the Barrow County Historic Courthouse. Some footage showing the city where the action takes place is also from Winder.

Following the trail of clues by casting agencies, we found out that the cemetery and the baseball scenes were recorded in Canton.
The city of Canton is the county seat of Cherokee County. The strip club was filmed in Atlanta.

Mr. McGoo's pub from episode four 'Que Viene el Coco' is a real bar located at 5602 Broadway, in the middle of Bronx's Kingsbridge.
The filmmakers photoshopped the exterior signs, as you can check in the image. This place is a kind of community wall art decor bar with a patio for events and live music.

Also in episode 4, Holly takes the bus at 23rd Street and Queens Plaza South in New York.
The car crash scene was filmed in East Point, off of Central Avenue and Harrison road.

The cast is headed by Ben Mendelsohn (Animal Kingdom, Danny from the Bloodline series). Ozark star Jason Bateman plays Terry Maitland and also directed the first two episodes. Holly Gibney is played by Cynthia Erivo (Bad Times at the El Royale, Harriet). Richard Price, the writer of acclaimed series like The Wire, The Night Of and The Deuce, is also involved in this project.

ReplyDeleteanyone know where she caught the bus in NY? can't make out the street sign. it's 23rd and something.
ReplyDeleteIt's in New York at Queens Plaza & 23rd Ave.
DeleteSorry, it's actually 23rd St and Queens Plaza South in NY.
DeleteThanks! I knew it felt like Queens.
DeleteYou're welcome. I have quite a few locations from this show mapped on Google Earth that I've been working on. I did this same thing when True Detective came out. Love doing this with shows that I'm really into. Take care.
DeleteThanks a lot for your help, please share the filming locations you found with us :)
DeleteYou could have used sites in actual Cherokee county there is such great sites here. Canton and Woodstock Ga are great. Think of these next. Suzy H proud of where I live.
DeleteScenes from episode 1 were filmed around the Candler Park area of Atlanta. Frankie Peterson’s body is found in the woods underneath the Michael Polak bridge where Ponce De Leon Ave crosses over Lullwater Creek, and the man who discovers the body while walking his dog is filmed on the Freedom Park Trail.
ReplyDeleteDo you know where the van was parked also? I see similar stones at Lullwater Pl NE, but that does not seem to look right. Or the parking where the cops have their cars parked?
DeleteI don’t know where the van was parked - very curious about that location. My guess is that the parking where the cops have their cars parked is the driveway from McLendon Ave leading into the Candler Park parking area (next to the soccer fields and pool).
DeleteWinder, Ga
DeleteCan you share more specifics? Where in Winder?
DeleteFor a few days they filmed some scenes in Fort Payne,AL. So far I haven’t identified anything in the show. Maybe it’s in a future episode.

DeleteOn into the Pines episode, the shot where Jack hitches a ride looks just a location on Hwy 35 or Desoto Pkwy in Fort Payne. Going to see if I can find it. I’ll update if so...
