Prison Set Drama: Extras Hospitalized After Intense Filming
30 Jun
Summary
- Several ex-convicts playing prisoners were hospitalized due to panic attacks.
- The intense filming scene took place in a decommissioned prison.
- Taylor Sheridan's new deal with NBCUniversal starts in 2029.
On the set of Taylor Sheridan's "Mayor of Kingstown," filming an intense prison scene in a decommissioned facility led to unexpected and severe reactions from extras. Many of these extras were formerly incarcerated individuals who had previously resided in the prison where filming occurred.
Following the first take, two extras experienced panic attacks so intense they required hospitalization. A third individual, overwhelmed by being locked in a cell, pleaded to be released and subsequently left the set, declining payment. These events underscore the psychological impact of the immersive filming environment.
This incident occurred amidst news of Sheridan's upcoming career move. He is slated to begin a five-year overall deal with NBCUniversal on January 1, 2029. This new venture follows his existing agreement with Paramount, which concludes at the end of 2028. Paramount will retain rights to "Yellowstone" and other Sheridan franchises.
