There has been some confusion around the town and around the actual name of the Apple TV+ show. Users on Twitter, who live in the area have been posting many pictures of Loganville as it was getting transformed which included installing a giant deer and repainting buildings and store fronts.

Initially, the show may have been called “Deerfield,” which makes since as they installed a giant deer in the town. Latter reports also refer to the show as “Zoltar” and “The Big Door Prize.” Guess we may have to wait and see which of those names Apple TV+ decides to go with.
