New ‘Yellowstone’ spinoff to cast extras for North Texas filming. How to apply
A newly announced “Yellowstone” spinoff from Taylor Sheridan is looking to cast extras for North Texas filming.
News broke last week that a new show from Paramount titled “Rio Palo” will be filmed in the city of Ferris, which is about 50 miles southeast of Fort Worth. No other details were released about the show, other than Ferris officials confirming that it’s a “Yellowstone” spinoff.
In addition to Ferris, “Rio Palo” is slated to also film in Cleburne, Weatherford and Rio Vista later this month, according to Texas-based Legacy Casting. The show is also rumored to be filming in Mineral Wells this week, according to social media posts.
Here’s a look at what roles are open for each “Rio Palo” filming location.
How to be cast in Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Rio Palo’ TV series

Another casting call is on the hunt for an actor to play a brother to “prisoner #2.” The pay rate is $200 for 12 hours of work on Aug. 15. Apply here.
Legacy is looking for a few different roles as part of a rodeo scene filming on Aug. 21-22.

The double for Raba will need to match his 6-foot-1 inch frame, according to Legacy. The pay rate is $200 for 12 hours on Aug. 14. Apply here.
It’s unclear who Raba is playing in the series, since Paramount has not released any details on the show.
Ferris
Legacy is on the hunt for a male ambulance driver for scenes filming in Ferris on Aug. 18.
The pay rate is $110 for 10 hours of work. Apply here.
