Perhaps the most exciting is Beth and Rip’s Yellowstone spinoff, which will see Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser reprise their iconic characters. The series has already benefited from what Sheridan has up his sleeve, as has his new Yellowstone spinoff starring Michelle Pfeiffer, called The Madison. That said, Sheridan is welcoming another change as he embarks on a new era of Yellowstone.
Taylor Sheridan Opened Up The Largest Television & Film Studio In Texas
With so many projects in the works, including a spinoff starring Kayce Dutton with Luke Grimes set to air on CBS next year, Sheridan needed a place to bring the next era of Yellowstone to life. It was recently announced that Taylor Sheridan has opened the largest television and film studio in Texas, which is set to boost his productions.
Sheridan opened the studio, called SGS Studios, in collaboration with David Glasser of 101 Studios and Dan Schryer. More than a studio, though, the facility, located north of Fort Worth, is a 450,000-square-foot campus comprising two buildings equipped with sound stages and post-production suites for editing and sound mixing, which can host four large-scale productions simultaneously.
The campus is promised to be a “Sheridan-verse hub,” already hosting productions of The Madison season 2 and Beth and Rip’s show, which was filming under the title Rio Palo (via Country Living), but is tentatively titled The Dutton Ranch.
Why Yellowstone’s Expanding Universe Needs SGS Studios
It’s a massive step up from when the executive producer started filming in North Texas in 2021 for his first Yellowstone prequel, 1883. According to the report from Stagerunner, shooting the Yellowstone spinoff revealed that while the area had plenty of shooting locations, it lacked the infrastructure to bring projects full circle seamlessly.
Therefore, having a full-scale production facility that can host multiple productions with ample room to grow suggests that Sheridan has overcome previous obstacles, making the Yellowstone universe and other Taylor Sheridan shows easier to produce. That’s good news, since Yellowstone experienced significant delays throughout its run, especially near the end.
