When Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) finally does find his way home, he won’t be returning to Montana, at least where the show’s filming location is concerned. Creator Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone prequel spin-off 1923, which stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, will no longer be filming on-location in The Treasure State, according to the Austin Business Journal. Rather, the production is moving to the Longhorn State following the Western drama’s first go-round from December of 2022 until February of 2023. Season 2 of the Paramount+ series 1923 will start shooting in the southern part of Austin, Texas. The Chief Executive of Butte-Silver Bow Government, J.P. Gallagher, said in the aforementioned article: “The decision to film the Yellowstone series of 1923 in Texas is disappointing. Nevertheless, we respect the production team’s decision and acknowledge that these choices are influenced by factors beyond our control. We were in talks with the production about 1923 coming back to Butte because of the positive experience they had here, but state tax incentive programs were a major factor for the production to move to Texas.” 1923 Season 2 couldn’t catch a break in 2023. Both the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes caused delays which ultimately cost the production its contract with Butte, Montana back in July of 2023. Filming dates have not been announced yet, though Helen Mirren will be first filming “The Thursday Murder Club” in the United Kingdom starting this June.
