Additionally, Jai Courtney also stars, joining Ed Harris and Annette Bening in the cast.
According to the official logline for the series, “Beth Dutton (Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Hauser) are thankful for the peace they fought hard for on their expansive 7,000-acre Dutton Ranch. Facing tough challenges and fierce competition, Beth and Rip must do what it takes to survive while guiding Carter (Little) into the man he is destined to become.”
Menchaca will portray Zachariah, a character described as “a newly freed jailbird endeavoring to reconstruct his life as a cowboy and wrangler.” Lind will take on the role of Oreana, characterized as “a captivating young woman with a free-spirited nature.” Villarreal will play Azul, “a skilled wrangler and Rip’s trusted assistant.” Raba will portray Joaquin, “a ranch worker adept at resolving issues, large or small.”
