Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Lioness’ to close streets in downtown Fort Worth for filming

Taylor Sheridan’s spy series “Lioness” will close streets in downtown Fort Worth for season 3 filming next week.

Paramount recently renewed the show, and production began last week at Sheridan’s SGS Studios in far north Fort Worth. The show also closed streets in the Berkeley Place neighborhood, near TCU and the Fort Worth Zoo, this week.

Streets in downtown Fort Worth will be impacted by filming on Thursday, Oct. 23, and Friday, Oct. 24, according to Downtown Fort Worth, Inc.

Here’s what to know.

It appears that the Hilton Fort Worth hotel will be a stand-in for The Hay-Adams hotel in Washington D.C., according to the road closure map. This makes sense since several of the characters in “Lioness” are based in the nation’s capitol.

During filming, all downtown businesses will remain open and Fort Worth police will be on-site to facilitate traffic.
