Production

The show is set at a modest waterfront resort at Lake of the Ozarks, inspired by the Alhonna Resort and Marina where series creator Dubuque worked as a dock hand at the resort while he was at school in Missouri during the 1980s.[9] Rather than filming at the Lake of the Ozarks, most of the shooting locations are in the Atlanta area (Lake Allatoona) because of tax breaks offered by the State of Georgia.[10][11] The film crew constructed a set in Georgia after extensively studying the Alhonna Resort property.[9] Some scenes are filmed at Chicago locations.[12] Michael Mosley will play recurring character Pastor Mason Young, a charismatic and mysterious preacher who becomes involved with the Byrde’s plan to build a new church.[8] Kevin L. Johnson plays recurring character Sam Dermody, affable, dog lover and a local real estate agent with an idle business around the Lake of the Ozarks.[8]
