\u201cTexas offers something rare: the space to dream big, the freedom to build fast, and a community that still believes storytelling matters,\u201d Sheridan says in a public release<\/a> tied to today\u2019s big announcement.<\/p>\n The new campus within AllianceTexas (Hillwood\u2019s 27,000-acre development in North Fort Worth) spans 450,000 square feet across two purpose-built facilities: SGS 1 and SGS 2. Designed to support four large-scale productions simultaneously, the buildings combine state-of-the-art sound stages with extensive mill space, wardrobe facilities, and green screen capabilities \u2014 all under fully HVAC-equipped and power-optimized roofs.<\/p>\n Filming began at the campus in March 2025, led by Paramount and 101 Studios, for the second season of Landman. With its advanced facilities and strategic location near airports, housing, and urban and rural backdrops, the two-building campus sets a new standard for production infrastructure in Texas and signals Fort Worth\u2019s emergence as a major media production hub.<\/p>\n Beyond hosting Taylor Sheridan\u2019s own productions, SGS Studios is positioned to attract outside projects seeking Texas\u2019 competitive film incentives and diverse filming locations. The City of Fort Worth designated the project as a Media Production Development Zone in December 2024, and the Texas Film Commission and Texas Comptroller granted final approval the following January.<\/p>\n That designation makes Sheridan\u2019s project eligible for funds from Texas\u2019 recent $1.5 billion investment<\/a> in the state\u2019s film incentives program. The program allocates $300 million for eligible projects every two years, with the new funding becoming available to productions starting on or after September 1, 2025.<\/p>\n Fort Worth\u2019s film commissioner, Taylor Hardy, told us<\/a> that Sheridan\u2019s 101 Studios alone has booked 75,000 hotel nights<\/a> in Cowtown since 2021.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are thrilled about the increased state funding for film incentives and are already seeing more interest from filmmakers wanting to bring their projects to Fort Worth,\u201d she recently told us. \u201cThis is an exciting time for our city, with new infrastructure and more opportunities for local businesses, crew, and talent.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"SGS_Studios_at_AllianceTexas_2\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SGS_Studios_at_AllianceTexas_2-scaled.jpg\")
