FORT WORTH, Texas — The production of the television series “Landman” is currently underway in Fort Worth, Texas.

The filming is taking place at several locations throughout the city, resulting in road closures and increased local activity.

“Landman,” created by Taylor Sheridan, has contributed to the local economy, and production commenced following the renewal for a second season by Paramount+.

The proposal suggests a $2.5 billion investment in the state’s filmmaking incentive program over the next decade.

The Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program (TMIIIP) is the main program under consideration, aiming to boost economic growth through the moving image industry and create jobs across the state.

The TMIIIP offers rebates to production companies, reimbursing between 5% and 20% of their in-state expenses.

This incentive is designed to attract more filmmakers to Texas, enhancing the state’s reputation as a desirable filming location.

The proposal includes an additional 2.5% incentive for productions shot in underutilized or economically distressed areas, and those employing veterans as part of their workforce.

Taylor Sheridan, the creator of “Landman,” has been a vocal advocate for the program, emphasizing its economic benefits.

Sheridan’s productions, including “Yellowstone” and “1883,” have also utilized locations within the Fort Worth area, highlighting the city’s growing significance in the film industry.
