Texas’ largest film and TV production hub is coming to Fort Worth, as SGS Studios teams up with Paramount and Hillwood to launch a massive 450,000-square-foot facility in the AllianceTexas development in north Fort Worth, near Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport. The project aims to support four large-scale productions at once and would mark the state’s biggest running studio complex.
SGS Studios has already opened a two-building campus, SGS 1 and SGS 2, equipped with sound stages, post-production suites, wardrobe facilities, and green screen capabilities. Filming on Landman season 2, a project from Sheridan and Paramount/101 Studios, began there in March, signaling the new hub’s early use and potential as a long-term anchor for Texas’ growing content-creation industry.
The Hillwood-backed venture describes the collaboration as the first step in a broader production ecosystem planned for the Alliance area, with several additional campuses envisioned to sustain long-term industry growth and keep Texas at the forefront of global content creation.
The ongoing and upcoming productions in North Texas include Landman season 2 and Sheridan’s Yellowstone spinoff Rio Palo, underscoring the region’s appeal to major TV franchises.
quotes from Sheridan emphasize the strategy behind SGS Studios: the project is about more than sound stages and incentives; it’s about reclaiming the independence and grit that shaped the industry. “Texas offers something rare: the space to dream big, the freedom to build fast, and a community that still believes storytelling matters,” Sheridan said. Hillwood’s Ross Perot Jr. highlighted the collaboration as a means to bring major film and TV production to North Texas, noting the partnership with SGS Studios and the support of state lawmakers in advancing film incentive legislation that could further diversify the economy and create long-term regional growth. He also pointed to added incentives that would support veterans transitioning into civilian careers.
Fort Worth’s leadership is positioning the project within a broader economic strategy. City officials point to the planned incentives process as a key step in attracting large productions to the area and leveraging AllianceTexas’ infrastructure to sustain growth.
What this means for North Texas
– A substantial boost to local jobs in construction, production, and post-production, with long-term opportunities as the hub expands.
– Expanded infrastructure and workforce training tied to the film and television industry, including veteran recruitment and training initiatives.
– A potential widening of Texas’ role as a premier destination for content creation, attracting more national and international productions to North Texas.
Summary: In Fort Worth, SGS Studios, Paramount, and Hillwood are building a major 450,000-square-foot film and TV studio hub at AllianceTexas, leveraging existing campuses and state incentives to attract multi-production operations, with ongoing shoots from Landman and a Yellowstone spinoff signaling active use and potential for sustained growth in Texas’ entertainment sector. A broader vision includes multiple future campuses to anchor long-term industry development in the region.
