Not much else is known about the tight-lipped production, except that there is security on site for the closed sets that permit only staff, cast, and crew members to be inside. No word either on which stars of the show are working locally.
Locals who were cast as extras have signed non-disclosure forms and are allowed to speak publicly only after the series is released.
Chad Mees, the mayor of Bartlett, Texas, recently shed some light on what locals may expect after his town, nearly 150 miles northeast of San Antonio, was used as a shooting location several weeks ago.
Mees said the production was in and out in a hurry, but the town of 1,600 residents enjoyed the experience and saw a bump to its economy.
"Area businesses really benefit from all the set crew buying lunches, snacks, and dinners every day as well as the other traffic it brings to town. The production crew was a pleasure to work with." he said.
He also said the crew did a good job of leaving no traces that they were ever there.
Mees said the tiny town has been used as a backdrop in the past for a movie, a TV series, and commercials.
