Yellowstone Meets Real Housewives in The McBee Dynasty – And It's a Must-Watch

After quietly dropping its first season on Peacock last year, the series was such a hit that Bravo scooped up Season 2 for primetime — because apparently, cowboys with emotional baggage test through the roof.

Season 2 opens with the McBee family — owners of a massive ranch in Gallatin, Missouri — still reeling from a $100 million venture capital deal falling apart. Patriarch Steve McBee Sr. has vanished from the operation, leaving his son Steven Jr. holding the bag... and a $6 million payment due in November.

That would be stressful enough, except this family's business is also their battleground. Between betrayal, land feuds, and breakups, the McBees are spinning more drama than hay bales.

Here's the setup this season:

• Steve Sr. is MIA after cheating on CFO Galyna Saltkovska with her best friend, Masha.
• Galyna, still very much in the business, is out for blood — or at least a bill for Masha's scratched Porsche.
• Steven Jr. wants to scale back farming, focus on cattle — but his brother Cole secretly leases more land.
• Calah, Steven Jr.'s off-and-on girlfriend, wants nothing to do with the next family barbecue, especially after Kacie and Alli ghosted her during a personal tragedy.

Tessa Lollar, the ranch's fuel woman and accidental narrator of the apocalypse, might be the only sane person on site.

With that many people in one family business, it's less "ranching empire" and more "controlled detonation."

And yes, there's drama.

The kind of drama where Galyna curses into a voicemail about "that f—king whore" while speeding off.

The kind of drama where Kacie has a panic attack at a barbecue. The kind of drama where Steven Jr. makes breakfast in nothing but a towel after his latest relationship debrief.

If you're wondering how real any of it is, you're not alone. Some moments — like Steven Jr. confronting Cole while angry tire screeches conveniently play in the background — feel like they were storyboarded by a Bravo intern. But others, like Galyna's simmering rage or Kacie's chest pains, feel alarmingly genuine.

Season 2 trades in high-stakes ranching for even higher-stakes family meltdowns, and it works. Especially now that Steve Sr. has dipped but left chaos in his wake. For the record, he chose not to participate in Season 2 — but his ghost lingers over every scene.

Episodes air on Bravo, and if the preview clips are anything to go by, we're getting more Galyna, more yelling, and more shirtless confusion.

So yes, it's Yellowstone meets Real Housewives — just with more tractors and fewer filters.

Stream it. Or don't. But if you like reality shows where grown adults implode over business deals and brunches, this one's already halfway to legendary.
