Taylor Sheridan—the mastermind behind Paramount hits like Yellowstone, 1923, Landman, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness and more—has opened a film and television production hub in Fort Worth, Texas.

the next decade and housing the state’s largest studio facility, industry experts believe Hollywood’s traditional dominance could face unprecedented disruption. For American audiences and workers, the changes could mean new stories—and new jobs—originating far from Los Angeles.

Sheridan’s SGS Studios, created in partnership with Paramount Pictures and developer Hillwood, has established a 450,000-square-foot production campus in Fort Worth’s AllianceTexas development. The two-building complex includes six sound stages, supporting up to four major productions at once, and making it the largest operating film studio in Texas, The Dallas Morning News reported.

 

 

The project launched officially in March with Landman season 2 and is already scheduled to host further productions such as Lioness, as well as spinoffs The Madison and the tentatively titled Rio Palo. The campus will also be available to outside projects, with further expansions planned to accommodate more productions and sound stages in the coming years.

Fueled by a new Texas law allocating $1.5 billion over 10 years to attract film and TV work, the region is positioning itself as a formidable contender for large-scale production, especially as Hollywood navigates prolonged industry disruptions. Hillwood’s $65 million investment in the facility and planned educational partnerships aim to boost local employment and training for film professions.

 

 

“SGS Studios isn’t just about sound stages or tax incentives—it’s about reclaiming the independence and grit that built this industry in the first place,” Sheridan said in a statement to The Dallas Morning News. “Texas offers something rare: the space to dream big, the freedom to build fast and a community that still believes storytelling matters.”
