In an exciting development for both Yellowstone fans and the town of Ferris, Paramount Pictures has officially chosen the small city as the primary filming location for its upcoming spinoff series, Rio Palo. The show, which has already generated significant buzz, will utilize multiple locations throughout Ferris, with one site set to serve as the central home of the lead characters.
Ferris, a city known for its Ferris Brick Company, has always been a place proud of its rich history. Now, it will add a major Hollywood production to its legacy, further solidifying its place in both Texas and national history. The city’s involvement in this project marks another exciting chapter in Ferris’ ongoing growth and evolution.
City manager Brooks Williams expressed his excitement for the opportunity, stating, “Ferris helped build Texas and the nation. Ferris bricks are in streets, schools, and courthouses across this country. But that is just part of who we are. Ferris has never settled for being one thing. This city has evolved, adapted, and grown. Paramount’s decision to film here is one more chapter in that story. It affirms that a place with roots can still move forward, that a city shaped by history can also shape what comes next.”
The production team, managed by King Street Productions LLC, has worked closely with local government, law enforcement, and regional partners to coordinate permits, insurance, and security, ensuring a smooth filming process. In addition to showcasing Ferris on a national level, this project is expected to provide a significant boost to the local economy, bringing new business and exposure to the area.
While a filming start date has yet to be announced, this new partnership between Ferris and Yellowstone promises to be an exciting and impactful moment for the community.
