Paramount+ is adapting Urban Cowboy as a TV series

Deadline

The 1980 romantic western film starring John Travolta and Debra Winger is the latest classic Paramount film to get a TV adaptation. The Circle writer James Ponsoldt will adapt the film that followed the love-hate relationship between Buford Uan ‘Bud’ Davis, played by Travolta, and Sissy, played by Winger, and is centered around Gilley’s Club, a large honky tonk in Texas. Paramount+ says the series will go “deeper” into Bud’s journey from farm to the big city in 1980’s Houston and will feature music from that time and place.
