Country star Tim McGraw is no longer slated to star in Netflix's upcoming bull riding drama due to a tour-related injury. McGraw, who was set to play the lead and executive produce the project, recently underwent knee surgery and is scheduled for back surgery, prompting him to withdraw from the physically demanding role.
Tim McGraw will reportedly no longer star in Netflix 's upcoming bull riding drama. The 57-year-old singer was originally set to play the lead role and also serve as an executive producer for the series, which was announced at Netflix 's upfront presentation in May 2024. However, McGraw recently underwent orthopedic surgery on both knees in August, following a tour-related injury. He is also scheduled for back surgery, prompting him to step back from the physically demanding role.
The untitled project was described as a high-stakes drama set in the world of bull riding, focusing on a champion rider facing a life-changing crossroads. His world is turned upside down by a fearless young competitor who challenges his beliefs and uncovers buried secrets, forcing him to confront his past. McGraw, a household name for his country music career, has ventured into acting with roles in films like Friday Night Lights, Tomorrowland, The Blind Side, and Country Strong. He also recently appeared alongside his wife, Faith Hill, in Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone prequel, 1883. McGraw has been open about his sobriety journey, crediting Hill for her unwavering support. He told Yahoo Music in August 2023, 'I don't think I could stand up straight without leaning on her in everything that I do.' He acknowledged that sobriety is an ongoing process with its ups and downs, requiring constant effort and dedication. McGraw has previously shared details about his struggles with alcohol addiction, revealing in a 2021 interview with Esquire how he reached a breaking point when he found himself drinking at 8:00 AM. He confessed, 'I went straight to my wife and said, 'This is where I'm at.' I was scared.' Hill's immediate embrace and support changed his life, leading him to prioritize his health and well-being. McGraw now recognizes the transformative power of love, stating, 'I didn't know love could feel so good. Was it an emotion? Was it a lifestyle? Was it an imaginary thing? But love is all of those things.
