Overview
- Netflix confirmed Tuesday that it has given a straight-to-series order for Lonesome Dove and named Zoe Kazan and Jeb Stuart as writers, co-showrunners and executive producers.
- Independent studio Teton Ridge Entertainment, which acquired the screen rights to the Lonesome Dove books, assembled the package and resolved remaining rights gaps before the public greenlight.
- The show is being developed as an ongoing series that will retell the novel’s central cattle‑drive story about former Texas Rangers Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call without revealing plot twists.
- Key production details — including casting, directors, a production start date and a release window — have not been announced.
- Teton Ridge holds the rights to McMurtry’s full tetralogy and plans further adaptations, a move that raises expectations for a multi‑season franchise and fresh comparisons to the beloved 1989 miniseries.
