Charlotte scenes in Netflix's 'The Hunting Wives'

The Netflix series 'The Hunting Wives' incorporates real locations in Charlotte despite being set in a fictional Texas town. The show's production team selected several local spots to stand in for its fictional settings.

Coyote Joe's features as a frequented honky-tonk bar where characters socialize. This lively venue, based in Charlotte, offers live music and line dancing.

It boasts a private dock and expansive living spaces. Dilworth Tasting Room appears as the backdrop for upscale gatherings.

Azalea Retreat serves as the luxurious lakeside home in the series. This real home, located in Sherrills Ford, can be rented for over $1,000 a night.

About 41 minutes into the second episode of the Netflix show, a scene begins with an outside shot of a beloved local restaurant, Mooresville’s What-A-Burger. But something isn't quite right ...

With these locations, Charlotte plays a significant role in the visual storytelling of 'The Hunting Wives.'

The eight-episode drama “The Hunting Wives” premieres on Monday, July 21, and parts of it were filmed in the Charlotte area.
