Paramount Network Orders The Last Cowboy Unscripted Series From Taylor Sheridan

Paramount Network has ordered The Last Cowboy, an original unscripted series from Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan, Truly Original and 101 Studios.

The Last Cowboy features highly-skilled horsemen and trainers competing in the intense, high-stakes world of professional reining. It chronicles the lives of eight men and women who compete on the regular reining circuit, a western-based competition where riders guide horses through a precise pattern of circles, spins and stops. These horsemen are determined to elevate and preserve the cowboy tradition as they train and engage in the exclusive ultra-competitive sport.

In conjunction with the series, Sheridan is also launching a reining event called “Run for a Million,” the sports first-ever, arena-based competition with a $1 million purse, marking the largest in its history. The upcoming experience will take place on August 15-17, 2019 at the South Point Arena and Equestrian Center in Las Vegas, and the competition will come to life in the series finale.

Now, with The Last Cowboy and Run for a Million, were bringing the real men and women, and their dedication to the sport of reining, to the small screen, an unmasking of the cowboy world that we hope TV audiences will enjoy.”
