Where was Lifetime’s Who’s Stalking My Family filmed?
Lifetime's Who's Stalking My Family (2024) was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, with secondary locations in Sharpsburg. Here is where and how production came.
Lifetime’s 2024 thriller was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, with additional scenes shot in the small Coweta County town of Sharpsburg, about 40 miles southwest of the city. Principal photography ran from late February 2024 through early March 2024, a production window of roughly two to three weeks. Director Jeff Hare, who has worked in the Lifetime and LMN space for years, scheduled frequent overnight sessions for interior scenes, where controlled lighting could be maintained more easily.
Why the production chose Atlanta
Georgia’s film tax credit, worth up to 30 percent of qualifying in-state spend, combined with a large pool of experienced local crew and a variety of suburban and urban locations within a short drive of each other, has made the Atlanta metro area a routine base for Lifetime and LMN productions.
For Who’s Stalking My Family, the Atlanta area supplied the ordinary suburban streetscapes the script needs. The story follows Ivy Miller (Kate Watson), a mother who becomes alarmed after her teenage daughter Sadie (Kennedy Martin) begins tutoring an older boy named Colton Daniels (Jacob Kaufman). Ivy comes to suspect that Colton has developed feelings for her rather than for Sadie, and the situation moves from unease toward something more dangerous. The locations need to read as recognizable family territory, the kind of neighborhood where nothing like this is supposed to happen.
Other Lifetime and LMN films shot in and around Atlanta include The Killer with No Name (2024), also directed by Jeff Hare, and Abducted at an HBCU: A Black Girl Missing Movie.
Sharpsburg, Georgia
Sharpsburg, a small incorporated town in Coweta County, provided secondary locations for the film. The town sits roughly 40 miles southwest of Atlanta and has a quiet residential character that suited the story’s requirements. For productions that need a setting that reads as more isolated or small-town in scale, Sharpsburg offers that without requiring a long drive from Atlanta-area facilities.
It is a location Hare knows. He used the area for Who Is Killing the Cheerleaders? (2020), another Lifetime thriller, and The Walking Dead has also shot scenes there. The town reads convincingly as generic small-town America, or suburban Georgia, depending on how scenes are framed.
Director and production team
Jeff Hare has directed more than a dozen Lifetime and LMN films, including The Kept Mistress Killer (2023), She Is Not Your Daughter (2022), and Beware of Mom (2020). His repeat work in Georgia across multiple back-to-back projects means the production had access to an established local crew network.
The screenplay is by Lori Canevaro, whose credits for the network include My Terrorized Teen (2021). The film was produced by Ken Sanders under the Storyteller Studios banner, with Tom Berry and Pierre David serving as executive producers. Berry and David are veteran Canadian producers whose Reel One Entertainment company handled worldwide distribution rights. Robert Vardaros served as cinematographer and Jeremiah Mann as production designer.
Cast of Who’s Stalking My Family
Kate Watson leads as Ivy Miller. Watson previously appeared in the 2021 Lifetime film Killer Advice.
Kennedy Martin, making her Lifetime debut with this film, plays Sadie Miller. Her prior credits include Showtime’s Crowning Jules and PureFlix’s Healed By Grace 2. Jacob Kaufman plays Colton Daniels.

Premiere and where to watch
Who’s Stalking My Family premiered on the Lifetime Movie Network on November 7, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET. The film is rated TV-14 and runs 90 minutes. It is available to stream through the Lifetime website and app.
The two-location approach in Georgia is a practical match for the story’s needs. Atlanta carries the suburban family scenes, while Sharpsburg handles the more removed, lower-density settings that give the film a different register of quiet.
