The Resident first aired on January 21, 2018, and lasted for six successful seasons until canceled in April 2023. Created by the trio Roshan Sethi, Amy Holden Jones, and Andrew Chapman for Fox, the drama follows the lives of the medical staff and doctors of the Chastain Park Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Resident was filmed in various locations in Georgia, including Conyers and Atlanta. Due to its moderate climate, tax incentives, and low production cost, Atlanta (New York of the South) is a popular filming location.

Another place where The Resident was predominantly shot was Conyers, Georgia. The charming streets, old downtown communities, and vintage charm were ideal for shooting. But the interior hospital scenes of The Resident were filmed in a production set (Film Rockdale studio) where Fox's mystery drama series, Sleepy Hollow, was filmed.

The star-studded cast includes Matt Czuchry as Dr. Conrad Hawkins, a senior resident of the fictional hospital, Manish Dayal as Dr. Devon Pravesh, Emily VanCamp as Nurse Nicolette Nevin, Bruce Greenwood as Randolph Bell, chief of surgery, and Shaunette Renee Wilson as Dr. Mina Okafor, to name a few.

The Resident Season 1 Episode 3 'Comrades in Arms' began with Dr. Conrad Hawkins and Dr. Jude Silva (Warren Christie) racing their bikes for a charity event race.

The iconic mansion was built in 1904 and is a perfect reflection of the late Victorian architecture.

An event venue in Monroe, Georgia, about an hour from Atlanta, where The Resident Season 4 Episode 1, 'A Wedding, A Funeral' was shot. Yes, it is the same location where Dr. Conrad Hawkins and Nurse Nic exchanged rings and got hitched. The sprawling landscape, lush green trees, and large fields serve as a perfect setting for an intimate wedding. Formerly a 1900s Dairy Barn, the farm was renovated to create this event venue.

Apart from the aforementioned locations in Georgia, the filming of The Resident Season 5 Episode 7, 'Who Will You Be,' took place in New Realm Brewing, Poncey-Highland, Atlanta.
