Cress Williams Lands New Role in NBC Pilot

Cress Williams has landed a new role. The actor is set to star in the NBC pilot, Unbroken.

In the new series, Three dynastic ranch families on the central coast of California make love and war in a passionate struggle to survive, ultimately setting the stage for a group of fiercely determined young women to win big for all at the National Championship of Rodeo.

Deadline is reporting, “Williams will play Will Stanton, a retired bull-riding champion and manager of the Holleren ranch. A warm and unflappable man, Will is Cole’s (Delon de Metz) best friend and uncle to his two adult children”.

I feel like a lot of networks this season are going to ranch/cowboy route. I wonder if it has to do with the success of Yellowstone and 1883, but I feel like we are going to be oversaturated with ranch/cowboy material over the next few years.
