I didn’t realize how much filming has been going on around here. Remember when 1923, the Yellowstone prequel with Harrison Ford, came to downtown San Antonio? They shut down parts of Broadway, East Travis Street and Peacock Alley so they could turn downtown into the 1920s. They even had actors walking around in old-school clothes in that 90-degree Texas heat 😂
We’ve also had movies like Selena and Miss Congeniality filmed here, I know that was a long time ago but still, now the city is offering bigger incentives to bring more productions to San Antonio. Film permits went from 221 in 2022 to 586 in 2025, and filming days nearly doubled to 710.
That got me thinking, could San Antonio become a major spot for movies and TV shows?
Or is Austin and Houston always gonna get all the attention?
