The Historical Village, located within Calgary's Heritage Park, was busy on June 26 and 27, and filming for a major show was taking place.
According to reports, the series that was filming was "Billy the Kid" for season three.
According to ACTRA Alberta, filming started near the end of March and will take place until the middle of July in Calgary and the surrounding area..
In the announcement of a new season, MGM+ shared what is to come in the new season.
"The Lincoln County War may be officially over, but both Billy the Kid and Sheriff Pat Garrett have important issues to resolve — there is a reckoning to come. Billy is still at large, and Garrett is out to capture him, dead or alive. And with a bounty on his head, Billy has the opportunity to quit New Mexico altogether and pursue a future with Dulcinea, the love of his life. But he has unfinished business with Garrett, who has betrayed him and decides to stay. Meanwhile, Jesse Evans, Billy’s longtime friend, rival, and enemy, also remains in Lincoln, searching for a newfound purpose and perhaps atonement for his sins. As the final chapter in the saga comes to a close, Billy will fight like hell to try to finally find the justice that has long eluded him, even if it means he’ll die trying."
For the third season, executive producers Donald De Line (De Line Pictures), Darryl Frank, and Justin Falvey (Amblin Television) will reunite with creator, writer, and executive producer Michael Hirst (Vikings, The Tudors, Elizabeth).
Parts of previous seasons were filmed in Kananaskis Country and Calgary. In April 2022, Billy the Kid's first season premiered, with season two premiering in October 2023.
At the moment, "Billy the Kid" is available for viewing on fuboTV, MGM+, Amazon Channel and Apple TV.
Back in February, a casting call was put out for extras to be in the third season.
