The creator of Yellowstone sets unscripted series at Paramount Network
The Viacom-owned cable channel has greenlit, an unscripted series that focuses on elite horsemen and -women on the professional reining circuit. The sport involves riders taking horses through a series of precise circles, spins and stops, attempting to elevate and preserve the cowboy tradition. The show is set to premiere in July.
Along with the series, Sheridan is launching a live event called Run for a Million, the sports first arena-based competition with a $1 million purse. The event will take place Aug. 15-17 in Las Vegas and be featured in"The grit, beauty and tenacity of the West are linked to America's legacy, and my creative drive has been to explore those, in all their complexities, in film and scripted television," said Sheridan.
Said Keith Cox, president development at Paramount Network and TV Land, "Viewers came in massive numbers to watch last season to see the way we showcase modern-day western life. Now we're serving up fans an inside look at the lives of real horsemen and their challenges and triumphs within the world of competitive horse reining."
Sheridan, an Oscar nominee for writing Hell or High Water, co-created Yellowstone with John Linson. The Last Cowboy will be his second TV series and first foray into unscripted shows. A previous regime at Paramount Network had considered signing him to an overall deal. The series comes from Truly Original, which produces Paramount's long-running Ink Master. Co-CEOs Glenda Hersh and Steven Weinstock executive produce with Sheridan,"What many people don’t know is that some of the greatest cowboys in the world aren’t living and working on ranches; they’re competing in one of the world’s most elite sports," said Hersh and Weinstock.
