What Happened
Starz has ordered a new, untitled one-hour family drama series with an eight-episode commitment. The series is set in the world of Black rodeo in Southeast Texas and centers on three siblings dealing with their mother's legacy and their father's unfinished business. This marks the second wholly owned series for Starz since the network was spun off from Lionsgate in 2025, following the British boxing drama 'Fightland'. Kirk A. Moore will serve as showrunner and executive producer.
Why this Matters to You
If you enjoy television dramas that explore specific cultural landscapes and complex family dynamics, this series may offer a new story to follow. The focus on the Black rodeo community in Texas could introduce you to a world and traditions not often depicted on mainstream television. As a wholly owned Starz project, its development and creative direction may be more directly aligned with the network's vision.
What's Next
Production on the eight-episode series is likely to begin following the finalization of casting and other pre-production details. The series will eventually be scheduled for a premiere on the Starz platform.
