The capital city of Jackson in Mississippi served as the primary filming location for Netflix's She the People. Several locations across the historical city were used to film indoor and outdoor scenes for the TV series.

When it comes to being authentic to the subject matter, Jackson is as genuine as it gets. The city has been a political hellscape for Black people over the years as they became gradually disenfranchised and had their powers ripped off by the governance of several powerful people.
