Ferris confirmed as filming location for new ‘Beth and Rip’ ‘Yellowstone’ spinoff series
FERRIS, TX – Stories have been circulating for several days and out of deep respect for the production team and creative process, the City of Ferris has waited for confirmation from 101
Studios regarding the information. 101 has informed media outlets of the upcoming series starring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, with Finn Little returning, and it is filming in Ferris. The City of Ferris will serve as one of the primary locations for the project, which has been described as a hopeful multi-season production.
While speculation has grown for weeks, City officials chose to delay public comment out of respect for the production team and their process for dissemination of information. The City will not be providing regular updates about the show and affirms that all public details will be released at the discretion of the studio. The City’s role is to coordinate quietly, protect day-to-day operations for residents and businesses, and ensure the production team feels supported while they’re here.
City Manager Brooks Williams acknowledged the excitement and curiosity from the public.
“We’ve gotten all the questions. What’s being filmed, who’s in town, what’s going to happen in the show, what’s your favorite Sheridan show, what do you think about Beth, is Rip really there, and would you ever be in it?” said Williams. “And the truth is, we’re just grateful to be part of it in any way.”
Williams continued, "Let’s be honest… Beth would’ve taken over City Hall before lunch, started a bar fight by dinner, and still had half the town asking her for career advice by breakfast. She’s brutal and brilliant and never once waits her turn. As for Rip? I’d need about six months of sunlight, two ribeyes a day, and a pharmacy’s worth of vitamins just to look like him in a blurry wide shot. And that’s if you squint and hit fast forward. Until then, we’ll be off camera doing what cities do best, which is holding things together and staying out of the way when we need to.
“To the cast and crew, welcome. You’ve brought something remarkable here. You didn’t just choose a location, you gave Ferris a chance to be part of the story. That matters. And we’re honored.”
City officials noted that this production represents more than media exposure. It is a symbol of how far Ferris has come, and a reflection of the community’s growing capacity to support large-scale creative work. The city believes this project will leave a lasting impact not only on screen, but in Ferris itself.
