As his impact on the entertainment industry continues to expand,YellowstonecreatorTaylor Sheridanunveils a production campus in North Texas, now the largest television and film studio in the state. The prolific screenwriter, director, actor, and producer is known forYellowstone,as well as multiple other series for Paramount+ and films likeSicario, Hell or High Water,andWind River.
Stagerunnerreported that Taylor Sheridan and 101 Studios CEO David Glasser have teamed up with Hillwood and Paramount Television to develop a massive 450,000-square-foot production studio. The space consists of two buildings and is outfitted with soundstages, post-production suites, and ample space to grow, reportedly set to host four large-scale productions simultaneously.
The campus, developed under Sheridan, Glasser, and Dan Schryer’s SGS Studios banner, hostedLandmanseason 2. A newYellowstonespinoff, tentatively titledRio Alto,is underway at the facility. It’s slated to houseThe Madisonseason 2 in September andLionessseason 3in October, with Glasser noting that“every single corner is rented.”Read Sheridan’s statement below:
“SGS Studios isn’t just about soundstages or tax incentives — it’s about reclaiming the independence and grit that built this industry. Texas offers something rare: the space to dream big, the freedom to build fast, and a community that still believes storytelling matters.”
What SGS Studios Means For Taylor Sheridan & North Texas
SGS Studios will be a massive boost toTaylor Sheridan’s growing network of television showsfor Paramount+. Sheridan has already filmed several of his productions in North Texas, and SGS Studios will be a more permanent space for his projects. Glasser, who frequently works with Sheridan, noted they“found the need and demand to be so much.”
The development sits on Hillwood’s AllianceTexas development in north Fort Worth. Hillwood president Mike Berry realized the opportunity, converting two industrial buildings into production-ready facilities. The developments are slated to bring economic growth to the area, with plans for an additional 300,000-square-foot expansion underway, which would upgrade the studios with eight more soundstages.
Berry believes the move will drive demand for nearby retail and restaurants, and potentially a hotel. Sheridan’s productions have already impacted the region, withLandmanseason 2 alone employing 1,092 crew members, 192 cast members, and over 2,500 extras. Glasser estimates Sheridan’s productions could employ 15,000 people in Texas this year, doubtlessly impacting economic growth.
Our Take On Taylor Sheridan’s SGS Studios
Anyone paying any attention to Taylor Sheridan lately knows that his productions are making waves. Filmed in Texas, where Sheridan and Glasser are setting up shop,Landmanseason 1 quickly became Paramount+’s most popular original series of all time, with its premiere garnering an astounding 35 million viewers globally (viaParamount+). Therefore, this move is the perfect play.
Taylor Sheridan’s productions have experienced delays and hurdles in the past, so SGS Studios will allow for more seamless production and faster turnaround times, as it has withLandmanseason 2, which will premiere on November 16, almost exactly a year after its original release. It’s the framework that’s needed to make the Sheridan-verse a well-oiled machine.
