A new TV series filmed in Atlanta debuts Tuesday night.

"Containment," which premieres at 9 pm on The CW, includes familiar sights from around the city, including the Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta City Hall and the state capitol.

The series is based around the premise of a sick Middle Eastern man who enters an Atlanta hospital and contaminates a doctor, according to the AJC. The patient is released but the doctor gets very sick, while he is at large, possibly spreading the sickness.
