A film crew planned to shoot a car chase in Lewisville but postponed it to early 2026 due to weather concerns.
The City of Lewisville was planning road closures on SH-121 for December 4, but had to delay them until early next year. According to the Denton Record-Chronicle, the closure would have run from Forestbrook Road to Vista Ridge Mall Drive to film a car chase scene.
“Because the shoot will include a dynamic high-speed vehicle stunt, they did not want to risk the weather,” said James Kunke, Lewisville community engagement director, to The Dallas Express.
Crews decided to postpone because the forecast suggested the possibility of freezing rain, according to Kunke. He said he could not reveal the specific show or production company, as an “added layer of security for the cast.”
Lewisville is assisting the production company with public notification of closures, consultation on the best use of the site, a safety review, and some traffic control, Kunke said.
“They have filmed in multiple other DFW locations for multiple programs, although I do not have details,” he said.
The same production company has also been filming at Beth Marie’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream on the Denton Square, according to the Denton Record-Chronicle.
Film crews were also shooting a movie at Meacham International Airport in Fort Worth the day before, December 3, until 6 p.m.
“You may hear simulated gunshots and controlled, theatrical explosions as part of the production,” city officials posted on Facebook. “There is no danger to the public, airport employees or operations.”
At the time of publication, it was still unclear whether the filmings were connected.
Fort Worth Film Commissioner Taylor Hardy told The Dallas Express she could not share specifics about projects currently under production.
“Confidentiality is a top priority for our team, and this commitment has helped us to become a top film-friendly destination,” she said.
The Fort Worth Film Commission is a nonprofit branch of Visit Fort Worth, a group contracted by the city to promote tourism. According to Hardy, it helps attract projects to the region and offers production companies support with things like permits, locations, and hotel rooms.
The Dallas-Fort Worth area has recently attracted multiple spinoff shows from the hit TV series “Yellowstone,” as The Dallas Express reported. North Texas has also hosted productions like Dallas, The Chosen, and Bonnie and Clyde.
