TV heavy hitter Taylor Sheridan brings new show to film in Jacksboro
By Joey Berlin, Texas Hospital Association
When Hollywood – and one of TV’s preeminent creators of this decade – came to Faith Community Hospital in Jacksboro, the facility pulled off a notable feat: Switching between medical setting and television filming location with little warning.
Over a handful of days last February and May, Taylor Sheridan – the creator and showrunner for the massive TV hit “Yellowstone” and its successful prequels, “1883” and “1923” – brought his crew to Jacksboro to use Faith Community as a set for “Landman,” his new series set to debut this November on Paramount+.
The show, with stars including Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm, Ali Larter and Demi Moore, is billed as “A modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of West Texas oil rigs.” It will be set in Midland, but used Faith Community – located northwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro – as the setting for the fictitious Midland General Hospital.

Lake Amon G. Carter has now (Thursday, Nov. 14) re-opened for boating. Selma Parkremains closed due to electric problems caused by high water. Water levels remain above normal and boaters should be cautious of possible debris.
The lake was closed on Nov. 8 after heavy rainfall and a rising lake level. It is considered full at 920 mean sea level and through the weekend it was topped more than 922 msl.
