After months of delays due to ongoing Hollywood strikes, 1923 has lost a key filming location in Butte, Montana for Season 2.
Bad news out of the historic town as Butte’s KXLF 4 reports “the ongoing writers and actors strike has forced Butte to break its contract with the ‘1923’ television series.”
According to local officials, the Taylor Sheridan/Paramount production will no longer be using the Butte Civic Center as a sound stage.
This is, unfortunately, a huge blow to 1923 Season 2 of the Yellowstone prequel, and to fans who were looking forward to more of the Harrison Ford & Helen Mirren epic’s return in 2024. But the biggest blow is for the people of Butte and their economy.
In fact, it’s likely the series will no longer be filmed in Butte at all, KXLF said this week. For perspective, 1923 Season 1 brought about $25 to $30 million to Butte.
Season 2 was first set to begin production on June 5, well over a month ago at this point. But the Hollywood Writer’s Strike has since seen actors join the cause, and the full SAG-AFTRA Strike has ground television and film productions to a halt.
