Tim McGraw Steps Away from Netflix Bull Riding Show

Tim McGraw will no longer star in his Netflix bull riding series. According to Deadline, the untitled show, which was announced in May with Tim attached as both executive producer and lead actor, is now facing uncertainty.

Sources report that Tim needs to undergo back surgery, requiring significant recovery time. This comes on the heels of orthopedic surgeries on both of his knees last August, which led to the cancellation of the remainder of his 2024 tour dates.

The show’s premise followed a megastar bull riding champion (originally McGraw) at a crossroads in his career and life. The arrival of a fearless young rider would challenge his legacy and bring buried secrets to light, forcing him to confront his past. Reports suggest the show may look to recast the role, but no official announcements have been made about its future.

While fans are disappointed to see Tim step away, his health comes first, and the country legend has a long road to recovery ahead. Stay tuned for updates on whether this Netflix project will move forward.
