49 free Hart of Dixie trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Hart of Dixie sent Rachel Bilson's Dr. Zoe Hart from New York to the fictional Gulf Coast town of Bluebell, Alabama, and kept her there for four seasons on The CW from 2011 to 2015. Created by Leila Gerstein and produced by The O.C.'s Josh Schwartz, it was a warm small-town romance that critics dismissed and fans adored, ending with a double wedding and a baby in the town square. These 49 questions cover the whole run: Zoe's inherited practice and the 30% patient target, the Wade-or-George question, Lemon Breeland and the Belles, Lavon's past as an NFL linebacker and his mayoral rival Ruby, Tansy, Shelby, Joel and the final-season pairings. They also ask about the people behind it: Gerstein's path from Gossip Girl to an Emmy, the Fake Empire producers, the Gossip Girl lead-in, the Metacritic score and what Jaime King, Wilson Bethel, Scott Porter, Cress Williams and Tim Matheson did before and after. Easy questions stick to the setting and main cast; the expert tier gets into pilot directors and review scores. Every answer is cited to a page we checked, with a short explanation so you learn something even when you miss.
