Filming also is scheduled in Fort Worth.
Last week, the Fort Worth City Council authorized temporary street closures in the Stockyards area in North Fort Worth for filming and production of the “Yellowstone” prequel series.
The Fort Worth closings will be from this Wednesday until Sept. 17. Road closures will be on North Houston Street from 24th Street to 25th Street, Ellis Avenue from 24th Street to 25th Street, and West Exchange Avenue from Clinton Avenue to Ellis Avenue, according to Fort Worth officials
The closed sections will be transformed to look like the year 1883, with street lights removed and dirt in the roadways. The closures will also allow for equipment loading, unloading and staging.
Set construction on West Exchange Avenue has included alterations to storefronts, redesigned interiors and even some new buildings, KRLD NewsRadio reported.
The new streaming series is scheduled to begin airing Dec. 19 on Paramount+, according to a network news release.
Elliott will play Shea Brennan, “a tough-as-nails, handsome cowboy with immense sadness in his past,” the release said. “He has the herculean task of guiding a group from Texas to Montana, and he does not suffer fools.”
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will portray James and Margaret Dutton, the patriarch and matriarch of the Dutton family, the release said.
“Created by Taylor Sheridan, ‘1883’ follows the Dutton family as they embark on a journey west through the Great Plains toward the last bastion of untamed America,” the release said. “The series is a stark retelling of Western expansion, and an intense study of one family fleeing poverty to seek a better future in America’s promised land — Montana.”
The original “Yellowstone” series, which stars actor Kevin Costner, will air its fourth season this fall.
