FERRIS, TX – The City of Ferris is proud to announce that Paramount Pictures has selected Ferris as a primary filming location for its upcoming spinoff of the acclaimed television series Yellowstone, titled RIO PALO. The production will highlight the charm, versatility, and visual appeal of the community, positioning Ferris on a national stage and capturing its unique character for audiences around the world. Filming will take place at various locations throughout the city, and the production team has coordinated closely with city staff, local law enforcement, and regional partners to ensure a smooth and well-managed process. All necessary permits, insurance, and security measures have been completed in accordance with city policies and procedures.
A location in Ferris will be featured as the central home of the show’s lead characters. “This is a proud and fun moment for Ferris,” said Brooks Williams, City Manager. “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.”
The production, coordinated by King Street Productions LLC, brings direct investment into the local economy and elevates Ferris’s visibility to a national audience. Local businesses and service providers are actively engaged, and the project showcases Ferris as a viable location for future productions, commercial partnerships, and continued growth.
For the safety of all residents and crew, the City reminds the public that production areas will be closed to unauthorized visitors. Should opportunities for public engagement arise, those updates will be shared through official City channels.
