AUSTIN— Taylor Sheridan’s “1923,” which plans to use Austin as a base for filming throughout Texas later this year, is projected to pump nearly $52 million into the local economy and create 200 direct jobs and more than 150 indirect jobs, according to the city of Austin.
Those were among the estimates provided as the Austin City Council on May 30 voted to approve up to $82,500 in incentives for the production company behind the project as part of the city’s Creative Content Program. Filming is expected to commence by July 8.
A spokesperson for California- based production company 101 Studios earlier this month confirmed to the Austin Business Journal that the Paramount Plus show would be shooting at ATX Film Studios. The Golden Globe-nominated show, which is a prequel to “Yellowstone” and stars Helen Mirren, Harrison Ford, Brandon Sklenar and others, was renewedforasecondseason in February 2023.
