A major cable TV series will be filmed in this North Carolina town. You’ll be able to see some very familiar sights while munching on that popcorn from your living room couch. Not only will the location look familiar, so will the lead actress. This will be fun.
Charlotte, North Carolina has been chosen as the location for a new series on one of my favorites, the Starz channel. I have Starz so that I can watch “Outlander”. Now there will soon be another reason to keep the channel. “The Hunting Wives” will be made this spring in Charlotte. The series is described as a “sultry suspense thriller”.
According to our source, The Charlotte Observer, the filming begins in March. This eight-part series is based on a novel by May Cobb centered around a character named Sophia O’ Neal. Sophia moves with her family from the East Coast to East Texas where she falls for a socialite. I have been looking for a new series to love and this might be the one.
According to the books own blurb, it’s a story of obsession, seduction and murder. In a quote straight from the Charlotte Observer,In its review, Library Journal called Cobb’s book an “alcohol-infused, sexually charged thriller. Gossipy, scandalous housewives behaving badly might make this the juiciest read of the season.” A major cable TV series will be filmed in this North Carolina town.
Furthermore, you will recognize the actress in the lead role, Malim Akerman. She usually plays the beautiful girl that everyone wants in movies like “27 Dresses”,”The Proposal” and “The Watchmen”. You will definitely recognize her if you happen to see her shopping at Southpark.
What restaurants should we suggest for the cast of “The Hunting Wives” here in Charlotte? Here’s a few ideas.
Southern Living Ranks These Charlotte Restaurants "The Best"
If you’ve been in Charlotte over the past few years, it is no surprise that the Queen City has a lot to offer for ‘foodies.’ There are literally hundreds of restaurants with a variety of cuisines. And according to Southern Living magazine, Charlotte has some of the best eating spots.
The magazine put together a list of the 22 best restaurants in Charlotte. It doesn’t matter what you crave — Southern traditional, Italian, Asian, or seafood — Charlotte’s culinary landscape has something for you. I have lived in Charlotte for more than two decades and I still have not experienced even half of the restaurants on their list.
In the article, Southern Living boasts of many of the successes made on Charlotte’s food scene. It states “For years, the Queen City has steadily marched toward becoming a top food city in the South—with recent nods from the James Beard Foundation validating its expertise and growth.”
And growth indeed. There are new restaurants popping up regularly. From fresh seafood, street tacos to rolled sushi, the sky is the limit. Charlotte’s international flare (Vietnamese, Ethiopian) on food makes it even more difficult to decide just where to go.
Which is why I listed a few of the restaurants I’ve already visited. (In no particular order) And if you’re open to trying something new AND good, then check these out. Check out a full list of Southern Living’s restaurant recommendations.
