The new Yellowstone-inspired documentary is like the Duttons were on a reality show

Taylor Sheridan’s world of cowboys and land battles in Yellowstone is about as far from a reasonable reality as you can get, but there’s a new docuseries on The CW that takes a look at the real world of ranching.

No, Yellowstone is not based on a true story. But as the Western show knows well and truly, the lives of hard-working farmers and ranchers are the backbone of places like the fictional Dutton Ranch, and a new reality show, The Wranglers, explores their daily lives.

In an eight-part documentary series, The Wranglers follows the personal and professional lives of employees who live and work at the Circle Bar Dude Ranch in Montana. (Where the Duttons live, in case you forgot.)

The farm is owned by Russell True, a second-generation farmer. The Circle Bar Dude Ranch allows guests to experience the “real” American West, with workers working day and night to care for their clients and the land.

Naturally, being a reality show, there are also a lot of dramatic relationships and spontaneous problems. Thanks to the multitude of young cowboys and cowgirls, there is never a dull moment. (But if you’re expecting Sheridan-esque shootouts and explosions, you might be disappointed.)

“The Wranglers will take viewers into this captivating real world against the backdrop of Big Sky Country,” said Heather Olander, head of unscripted programming at The CW Network.

“Fans love the bunkhouse drama from 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, passionate cowboys and cowgirls who work the ranch as their stories of romance, friendship and conflict unfold.”

Basically, if you love Yellowstone for the country music montages of Colby, Teeter, and others cavorting in the bunkhouse, then The Wranglers is almost certainly for you.

Episode 1 of The Wranglers will air on The CW on Monday, October 14th at 9pm ET. Other episodes will be released every Monday after.
