Don’t let the traffic fool you: this ain’t New York City, it’s downtown Fort Worth.

Taylor Sheridan’s “Yellowstone” spinoff “The Madison” is filming this week, leading to some street closures downtown.

“All of a sudden all these cars with New York City license plates kept going by,” said Cornelius Austin. “I thought, ‘wait, what?!’”

Austin says someone took a wrong turn and that someone was him.

“I just kept walking and nobody stopped me and next thing I know I’m in the middle of their scene,” Austin said.

Whose scene? The Madison, a new show from writer Taylor Sheridan.

“And then they’re like, ‘reset,’ and they had me go back to reset and I’m like, ‘I’m not in this,’” Austin laughed.

“The Madison” stars Michelle Pfeiffer and follows a New York City family as “they process grief while vacationing in rural Montana, exploring human connection amidst profound sorrow,” according to the show’s IMDb page. It’s unclear how “The Madison” connects to “Yellowstone,” but Patrick J. Adams of “Suits” fame also stars in “The Madison.”

After filming scenes in Cowtown and downtown Dallas last month, filming for “The Madison” continues in Fort Worth this week.

Filming began Monday from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday on Fifth Street between Main Street and Houston Streets, according to a map shared by Fort Worth officials. Fort Worth police are on site to help manage traffic. The AC Hotel and the Sinclair Hotel are located on the stretch of Fort Worth being used for filming.

Dena Harte works downtown and says her typical 8-minute commute was five times longer Monday morning due to all the rerouting.
