Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch is using the KPMG Plaza at Hall Arts in downtown Dallas on Monday as a stand-in for downtown Chicago.
The production is shutting down Crockett Street in the Arts District between Ross Avenue and the Hall Arts Center’s parking garage entrance from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. to accommodate crew, according to a traffic control plan obtained by The Dallas Morning News.
During filming takes, there will also be intermittent traffic control on Ross Avenue between North Pearl and Leonard streets, per the notice.
Trailers and trucks were stationed at the corner of Ross Avenue and Routh Street on Monday morning. One crew member strolled by carrying a deer prop. Dress shirts and blazers hung on a clothing rack.

Details around the shoot remain scant, beyond it being a “downtown Chicago scene,” according to a recent talent call from Legacy Casting. The company, which often finds extras for Sheridan’s shows, posted on MyCastingFile about actors needed on Nov. 17 in Dallas to shoot Rio Paloma, a name that has been used as a placeholder for Dutton Ranch’s productions.
“Everyone booked should own their own really nice suit,” the posting read.
Windy City’s central core and downtown Dallas may bear little resemblance — towering corporate buildings aside — to residents of each city. For one, Chicago’s downtown is denser and has a river flowing through it, but anything is possible on TV.
Dutton Ranch takes place after the bloody ending of Yellowstone. In the hit western’s fifth season, the death of patriarch John (Kevin Costner) looms over the Duttons, a Montana ranching family. Although John’s death appeared to be a suicide, it comes out later that he was killed in a hit — which his daughter, Beth (Kelly Reilly), suspects was arranged by her brother Jamie (Wes Bentley). In the violent pinnacle of a long-brewing sibling rivalry, Beth kills Jamie in the Yellowstone finale.

“With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter becomes the man he’s supposed to be,” reads the series’ logline, reported by Deadline.
After Sheridan, the Fort Worth-raised hitmaker, launched a production hub in North Texas this summer, the floodgates appear to have opened for his ever-expanding TV empire. Dutton Ranch, Lioness, Landman and several of his other Paramount+ shows have filmed in the region recently.
