Starz's Black Rodeo Drama Is Only Its Second Self-Owned Series Since Lionsgate Spinoff

Starz's untitled Black rodeo drama, ordered in April 2026 with eight episodes, is the network's second self-owned series since its 2025 spinoff from Lionsgate — meaning Starz owns the IP outright rather than licensing from a studio. The first was boxing drama "Fightland," which premiered 31 July. Kirk A. Moore showruns; no production start date is set.
