A rental agreement obtained by the Star-Telegram through a public information request shows that King Street Productions was authorized to access E.M. Daggett Middle School<\/a> on Aug. 30 and Sept. 2 through Sept. 8 for a \u201cYellowstone\u201d spinoff.<\/p>\n

The production company was specifically approved to use the school\u2019s auditorium, locker rooms, gym, cafeteria, parking lots, front of the school and Room 101. The company paid the district $33,100 for access to the property across eight days.<\/p>\n

Preparation time overlapped with school hours, but filming took place on the weekend and after school on a Friday.<\/p>\n

Fort Worth ISD officials said in a statement that King Street Productions coordinated with the district\u2019s security and maintenance departments \u201cto ensure all district policies and safety protocols were strictly followed\u201d while it filmed on an operating campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe campus served solely as the host location, and no students or staff participated in or were involved with the production,\u201d district officials said. \u201cFort Worth ISD appreciates the professionalism demonstrated by King Street Productions throughout the process and their adherence to district standards for facility use.\u201d<\/p>\n

King Street Productions did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The rental agreement was released by the district more than a month after photos of signage changes at the middle school were posted on social media, sparking speculation from community members. A Facebook page called \u201cFWISD Watchdog\u201d posted photos on Sept. 4 showing a new sign in front of Daggett Middle that read: \u201cRio Paloma High School Home of the Rustlers.\u201d Another photo showed a banner stating, \u201cRustlers Never Rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

The production company was allowed on the middle school property from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on six out of the eight days of the agreement; It was allotted longer time frames on Sept. 5 and 6 from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m for filming.<\/p>\n

According to the agreement, workers involved in the production were prohibited from interacting with Daggett Middle students. This included being in the hallway during passing periods unless accompanied by a district staff member or security personnel. Production workers were required to stay in designated areas and wear a visible security badge from the school office when on the property during school hours.<\/p>\n

While the content of the scenes filmed at Daggett Middle is unclear, there is information available on what the \u201cYellowstone\u201d spinoff is about.<\/p>\n

Tentatively titled \u201cThe Dutton Ranch,\u201d<\/a> the new Paramount series follows the continuing adventures of Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler after \u201cYellowstone\u201d Season 5. In addition to Beth and Rip, their adopted teenage son, Carter, will also be in the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dutton Ranch, home to Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), is a testament to the peace they sought, fought for, and nearly died for, as they\u2019ve come to cherish their 7,000-acre land. With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter (Finn Little) becomes the man he\u2019s supposed to be,\u201d the show\u2019s logline reads.<\/p>\n

Word first broke on the show<\/a> in mid-August, when the city of Ferris announced that the production would be filming in its small town of nearly 3,000. At the time, the show carried \u201cRio Palo\u201d as its moniker, but that was confirmed by 101 Studios CEO David Glasser<\/a> to be a temporary name.<\/p>\n

Shortly after, Deadline reported that the show was now called \u201cThe Dutton Ranch.\u201d In addition to the main trio, the show stars Ed Harris, Annette Bening, Jai Courtney, Natalie Alyn Lind, Marc Menchaca, JR Villarreal and Juan Pablo Raba.<\/p>\n

Paramount has yet to announce a premiere date for the spinoff, although it will likely release sometime in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A rental agreement obtained by the Star-Telegram through a public information request shows that King Street Productions was…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":316264,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5138],"tags":[5229,158983,158982,7371,14948,7372,158980,158984,158981,114829,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-316263","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-worth","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-beth-dutton","10":"tag-daggett-middle","11":"tag-fort-worth","12":"tag-fort-worth-isd","13":"tag-fortworth","14":"tag-king-street-productions","15":"tag-public-information-request","16":"tag-rental-agreement","17":"tag-rip-wheeler","18":"tag-texas","19":"tag-tx","20":"tag-united-states","21":"tag-united-states-of-america","22":"tag-unitedstates","23":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","24":"tag-us","25":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115401460485347216","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316263"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316263\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316264"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
