A new “Yellowstone” spinoff show is coming soon from Taylor Sheridan — and it’s going to be filmed about 50 miles from Fort Worth.

“This is a proud and fun moment for Ferris,” Ferris City Manager Brooks Williams said in the news release.
About ‘Rio Palo’
Not much is known about “Rio Palo” (translation: “Stick River”), who will star in it or when it will come out.
The news release says that “a location in Ferris will be featured as the central home of the show’s lead characters.” Filming will take place in various spots around Ferris.
For those counting at home, “Rio Palo” is the fifth “Yellowstone” spinoff from Sheridan, following “1883,” “1923,” “The Madison” (coming in 2026), “Y: Marshals” (coming in 2026) and “1944” (ordered to series). An untitled spinoff revolving around Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton is rumored to be in the works, and a show called “6666,” which would be filmed at the real Four Sixes Ranch Sheridan owns in North Texas, is currently on hold.
Many of those shows filmed elsewhere in Texas or right here in Fort Worth. Sheridan also uses Fort Worth as a filming location for “Landman,” which just wrapped filming season two this week.
About Ferris
Ferris’ population grew from 2,788 in 2020 to 5,081 in 2025, according to census data. The city is located in both Dallas and Ellis Counties along I-45, and is about an hour’s drive away from Fort Worth and 20 miles south of downtown Dallas. It is known locally as “the brick capital of the nation” and at one point had six brick plants.
“Ferris helped build Texas and the nation. Ferris bricks are in streets, schools, and courthouses across this country. But that is just part of who we are. Ferris has never settled for being one thing,” Williams said in the news release. “We are proud of what this means for Ferris and proud to show others what we already know. We are just getting started.”
