Tim McGraw, originally set to star in Netflix's bull-riding drama, withdraws following back surgery.

The series' future, produced by Skydance Television, remains uncertain with potential recasting.

Tim McGraw, the renowned actor and singer, has announced his withdrawal from the upcoming Netflix drama in which he was set to star and serve as executive producer, according to Deadline.
