How To Be A Cowboy Season 2 - Here's What We Can Tell Fans So Far
Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a modern day cowboy? If you have, then Netflix's "How to Be a Cowboy" reality show is right up your alley. The show follows Dale Brisby — a professional bull rider, social media star, and entrepreneur — as he teaches ordinary folks tips and tricks to master the art of taming a horse and all the skills that come with being a true American cowboy, per Netflix. He does not operate alone, though, as he employs the help of his Radiator Ranch crew, which includes students who are curious about living the country life.
Prior to Brisby's Netflix debut, he already had a successful online career, with viewers regularly tuning into his "Rodeo Time" YouTube series. As Decider noted, Brisby was so popular that viewers from across the globe wrote to him in hopes of getting an internship at the ranch, which formed the genesis of the Netflix show.
With a successful season in the books, here's what viewers can expect from Season 2 of "How to Be a Cowboy."
When will How to Be a Cowboy Season 2 premiere?
As of this writing, Netflix hasn't yet announced a premiere date for Season 2 of "How to Be a Cowboy," per Next Season TV. Considering that Season 1 only premiered in September 2021, Netflix has to tabulate viewing figures to see whether certain shows are worthy of renewal, according to IGN, so fans will have to wait patiently for an official announcement. However, The Cinemaholic estimates that the show will likely be renewed because of Dale Brisby's executive producing role and the fact that he's the ranch owner. The outlet also believes the second season will follow a similar release cycle as Season 1 and premiere in fall 2022.
While Brisby stars and executive produces the show, he isn't actually a real person, but more of an alter ego created by Clint Hopping. Per Texas Monthly, Hopping is a "moderately successful bullfighter and bronc fighter from New Castle," while his brother — known to viewers as Leroy Gibbons — is actually Tate Hopping. You wouldn't know it because both of them have adopted their alter egos as if they are real, but hey — all in the name of entertainment, right?
With the secret out of the bag, Clint and his cowboy crew will surely up their antics on the upcoming season of "How to Be a Cowboy," so fans better get their popcorn ready.
Who will be cast on How to Be a Cowboy Season 2?
"How to Be a Cowboy" wouldn't be as successful as it is without its cowboys, Clint and Tate Hopping, so the two are expected to be back for Season 2. Other characters, including champion roper Cheech and former and current interns Donnie and Jorden Halvorsen, are also expected to return as they provided a bulk of the entertainment in the first season, per Decider.
Halvorsen's storyline was one of the highlights of the six-episode series, with the current Radiator Ranch intern documenting her comeback to professional bull riding after a near-career ending knee injury, according to the Chicago-Sun Times. The first few episodes showed Halvorsen learning her responsibilities as an intern as she also tries to get over her bull riding fears. As one of the few female bull riders, Halvorsen's comeback was met with a heartwarming moment when she was greeted by a young girl at a bull riding competition, who also cheered her on. The moment definitely motivated Halvorsen to continue on with her journey, but also inspire a new generation of female riders.
When and if Netflix renews "How to Be a Cowboy" for Season 2, there's going to be a lot more entertaining and inspirational moments for viewers to watch.
You could also appear on How to Be a Cowboy
Considering how busy Radiator Ranch has become since the show premiered on Netflix, it is highly likely that the ranch is in need of new interns to keep up with the demand, and you could apply to be one of them. Per The Cinemaholic, working under Dale Brisby — also known as Clint Hopping — is as easy as knowing how to text. You can simply text the word "Intern" to a specified number and Brisby would contact you if there are internship openings available.
Unfortunately, texting is currently the only way you can get in contact with Brisby and the gang. However, those who have a passion for bull riding and cattle management could one day find themselves working for him, as well. TMZ notes that Brisby always has a fresh batch of interns, so not all hope is lost, especially since "How to Be a Cowboy" hopes to potentially become a long term success on Netflix.
