TV show ‘1923’ shuts down roadways in Austin for filming
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Travelers in the West Campus area near the University of Texas may have noticed an influx of heavy traffic.
The traffic disruptions, which have occurred for the past two weeks, were caused in part by street closures near San Gabriel Street for the filming of “1923,” which was renewed for a second season in February 2023.

The central Austin location is just one of many filming sites for “1923.”
While Austin was chosen as a base for the series’ filming as it traveled throughout Texas, in July, the series was also filmed on the streets of downtown Lockhart.
It was estimated the series would put nearly $52 million into the local economy, as well as create more than 350 jobs, according to the City of Austin.
