According to NBC Montana, production of season 2 of the hit “Yellowstone” spinoff “1923” in Butte is delayed indefinitely. Civic Center manager Bill Melvin says he has been informed by the production that the delay is due to the ongoing Writers Guild Of America strike, which began on May 2nd and does not appear to be nearing a resolution. The production was supposed to return to Butte by this past Monday, and are paying Butte-Silver Bow $75,000 a month to utilize the Civic Center through the calendar year. The production has requested a 10-day extension of the contract, which will need to be approved by the City-County Commission, but has already been given the go-ahead by the Civic Center board. It is possible the production could request further extensions if the strike continues. Melvin says the Civic Center is all set up and ready to go for the production once a resolution is reached. However, another potential complication in filming is that the Screen Actors Guild says they will also go on strike if they do not come to an agreement with the Alliance Of Motion Picture And Television Producers by the end of the month
