EXCLUSIVE: The CW is exploring the world of professional cowboys and cowgirls on a Montana dude ranch in an eight-part docuseries.
The network is launching The Wranglers, which comes from 90 Day Fiancé producer Sharp Entertainment. It comes as the Nexstar-owned network moves into a new phase with a raft of new series leading its fall lineup including game shows based on Trivial Pursuit and Scrabble as well as WWE Nxt.
The Wranglers, which launches on October 24 at 9pm, follows the personal and professional lives of young staff members working at the Circle Bar Dude Ranch in Montana.
Owned by no-nonsense second-generation rancher Russell True, the Circle Bar Dude Ranch helps guests experience the real American West. The staff members of the dude ranch work tirelessly to cater to the needs of their demanding clients while also juggling their personal lives and the inherent drama that comes from living and working with a group of attractive and independent cowboys and cowgirls. The staff has a “work hard, play hard” mentality; these co-eds are responsible professionals by day but retreat back to their 20-something-year-old selves and lose all inhibitions by night. It’s a tricky balance as the wranglers navigate their personal and professional lives at this remote resort nestled in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the country, per the logline.
Matt Sharp, who founded the Sony Pictures Television-backed Sharp Entertainment, exec produces alongside Dan Adler, Amy Bonezzi, Becca Gullion and Dan Morando with Nina Giannelli and Josh Wade as co-exec producers.
“The Wranglers will rope viewers into this captivating real world set against the backdrop of Big Sky Country,” said Heather Olander, Head of Unscripted Programming, The CW Network. “Fans love the drama of the bunkhouse on the scripted hit Yellowstone, and now we’re bringing it to life in this series. Audiences will instantly fall in love with the hard-working and passionate cowboys and cowgirls that work the ranch as their stories of romance, friendship and conflict unfold.”
