Due to inclement weather this week, Hwy. 16 will remain open and available after being scheduled to be closed for six days for the filming of a television show.

Last week, Young County approved the closure of a portion of Hwy. 16 between Turtle Hole Road and Oliver Lane for the filming of a scene for an upcoming Paramount Pictures television show “Landman.”

The scene the studio was scheduled to film on the Young County road involves a collision between a small airplane and an oil tanker, which would cause an explosion.

The road was set to be closed from Wednesday, March 13 through Monday, March 18 with travelers required to use alternate routes or detours around the road. Paramount Pictures released a statement indicating the road will remain open and that filming will be rescheduled for a later date.

“Due to potential weather issues on our scheduled filming days, Paramount Pictures, and King Street Productions have decided to reschedule filming on later dates. Right now we are working with local authorities and direct impact residents on the implications that may come from these changes,” the release said.

The studio is determined to return to film at the indicated location once they have figured out their schedule. More information will come at a later time. The company shared gratitude for the support and consideration from the community regarding this matter.
