Paramount Pictures has chosen Ferris as a primary filming location for its upcoming Yellowstone spinoff, titled Rio Palo, city officials announced.
The production will use multiple sites around the city, including one serving as the central home of the show’s lead characters. Known for its Ferris Brick Company, the city is adding the series to its history.
City leaders said the production team has worked with local government, law enforcement and regional partners to coordinate permits, insurance and security. The project, managed by King Street Productions LLC, is expected to boost the local economy and spotlight Ferris to a national audience.
“This is a proud and fun moment for Ferris,” Ferris city manager Brooks Williams said in a statement on social media. “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. We are proud of what this means for Ferris and proud to show others what we already know. We are just getting started.”
Local businesses and service providers are involved in the project. A filming start date has not been announced.
