Freeform orders pilot for 'Breckman Rodeo' from 'The Americans' duo
Freeform has announced a pilot order for "Breckman Rodeo" - from creator slash director Steve Lerner, and the executive producers of the award-winning drama “The Americans,” Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields. While Fields and Weisberg are set to be executive producers, Lerner will be Co-Executive Producer of the pilot, which is to be produced by FX Productions.
“Breckman Rodeo” is so far the working title of the ensemble drama about a group of young rodeo riders in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The show's plot revolves around Ashley, a rodeo-as-hell sparkplug who refuses to stay within the lines that have been drawn for her, and her boyfriend Brant, a rodeo prodigy torn between a content, quiet life and the rocky climb to superstardom. Brant, Ashley and their friends will have to reconcile the traditional values of their sport and their upbringing with the changing realities of the 21st century.
