The production team for the television series “1923” is making a return to Butte as they begin construction of the Dutton Ranch set down a dirt road near the Mining City. Some scenes for the show’s second season will be filmed in and around Butte this October and possibly into November.
After filming its first season primarily in Butte, the series moved its production to Texas for the second season. However, local officials have welcomed the news of the return, noting the positive impact it has on the community. The city has reached an agreement with the production team, which will pay $10,000 to use the north parking lot of the Civic Center throughout October, while the center remains open for local events.
The return of the production is particularly exciting for residents who participated in the first season, many of whom are eager to get involved again. Some locals have expressed their enthusiasm by preparing for potential roles.
Filming will take place at various locations around Butte and in Feely, south of the city, where a replica of the Dutton Ranch is being constructed. The series continues to create opportunities for local businesses, as the production has previously hired local talent and catered to their needs.
Legacy Casting is currently seeking individuals interested in joining the cast as background actors, further engaging the community in this high-profile project.
