On any given day, there's probably a film or TV crew working somewhere in Georgia. We've even caught a few crews in our building at GPB, but what are they working on? For our series "On Set in Georgia," we check in with Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Jennifer Brett about the latest film and television projects in the state.

1) Pinewood Studios

According to Deadline, Pinewood Studios, one of the world’s leading production facilities companies, is nearing a $425 million deal to be taken over by U.S. property investment fund Venus Grafton. Pinewood owns studios and facilities across the world, including one in metro Atlanta. 

2) Spider-Man: Homecoming

If there's one thing to say about Georgia's film industry, it's that it's opened up a whole new universe...courtesy of Marvel. We've seen several Marvel films make their way here, including the latest Spider-Man movie. We last saw Spider-Man played by Tom Holland in "Captain America: Civil War."

5) Life of the Party

Actress Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone have teamed up for a movie called "Life of the Party." It's reported to be similar to Rodney Dangerfield’s “Back to School,” but other than that the plot details are under wraps. McCarthy and Falcone have worked together on other films, including the movie "The Boss," also filmed in Atlanta.
