Starz has ordered a family drama series set in the world of Black rodeo in Southeast Texas.

The untitled, one-hour series has received an eight episode order at the premium cabler. It marks Starz’s second wholly owned series since the network was spunoff from Lionsgate in 2025, with the other being the British boxing drama “Fightland.”

The logline for the rodeo drama states, “Infused with hip hop swagger and country soul, the series unfolds in Southeast Texas, where rodeo isn’t just what you do – it’s who you are. At the center are three siblings bound by the legacy their mother built and the unfinished business their father left behind. Driven by their own ambitions and drawn into each other’s orbit, alliances shift, relationships tangle, and nothing stays private for long.”
