Taylor Sheridan's SGS Studios: Fort Worth's New Film Production Powerhouse
Taylor Sheridan is making big moves in the film industry by establishing a new production campus in Fort Worth, Texas. The 450,000-square-foot facility, named SGS Studios, will be home to some of Sheridan's major shows like Landman and Lioness. Partnering with Hillwood, the project signals Texas's potential to become a global force in the film industry, with the new complex boasting two buildings and six soundstages capable of handling multiple productions simultaneously.
Having grown up in Fort Worth, Sheridan sees the new production campus as a homecoming and an opportunity to further solidify Texas as a hub for TV production. Known for his projects like 1883, Sheridan's influence has been dubbed "the Sheridan Effect," attracting jobs and tourists to the state. With Texas recently approving $1.5 billion in film incentives over the next decade, the state aims to become the "Film Capital of the World," positioning itself as a formidable rival to Hollywood.
As Sheridan's shows continue to gain popularity, with Tulsa King Season 3, Mayor of Kingstown, and Landman Season 2 on the horizon, his new base in Texas solidifies the state as the center of his storytelling empire. With Hollywood still adjusting post-Skydance deal, Sheridan's commitment to Texas sets the stage for a new era in film production. The future looks bright for SGS Studios and the Texas film industry as a whole. Share your thoughts on this exciting development below.
