Spiderwood Studios was a motion picture, television, music and animation studio open and run by producer Tommy G. Warren its acquisition and rebranding as New Republic Studios in 2017. Located east of downtown Austin, Texas, it is situated on 164 acres of back lot alongside the Colorado River (Texas), and is the state’s largest privately owned studio.
Back lot
The property is home to the the only groomed-for-production back lot in Texas. The back lot offers a historic pioneer cabin that was built in the 1840s, as well as a modern-day cabin constructed with flyaway walls, that is set along the Colorado River frontage. There is also small boat docking available on the creek, behind the cabin. The back lot also offers Spanish moss-covered trees, old and new trees and vegetation, open pastures, rolling hills as well as native wild flowers. Trails of gravel and dirt roads travel along groomed-for-production old and new forests.
