Yellowstone Blood Aces Trailer (2027) | First Look & Latest Updates

If you thought Yellowstone couldn’t get any grittier, get ready for Blood Aces—a new series that transports viewers from the open range to the neon-lit underworld of old school Las Vegas.

Blood Aces is not just another spin-off; it’s a western gangster epic, blending the raw intensity of Taylor Sheridan’s universe with the drama of Texas outlaws and the birth of a gambling empire.

Leading the cast is Cole Hauser, best known as Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone, now starring as Benny Binion—a real-life Texas criminal who built an empire through gambling. Sylvester Stallone, the legendary action star, is producing the show under his Balboa Productions label, and fans are hoping he’ll make a surprise appearance on screen. While Stallone’s main role is behind the scenes, his involvement guarantees a high-octane production.

Blood Aces is still early in production, but its star-studded cast is already generating buzz. More actors will be announced soon, playing rival criminals and high-stakes gamblers.

The story follows the evolution of the cowboy era into the world of big-city gaming, focusing on fierce characters who live by their own rules. Benny Binion, much like the Duttons, uses grit and might to forge his own empire, proving that the wild spirit of the West never really fades—it simply moves from the ranch to the casino.

The series is based on the extraordinary true story of Benny Binion, who began as a small-time horse trader in Texas and ultimately became the king of Las Vegas.

Blood Aces opens in Texas in the early 1900s, as Benny establishes a dangerous gambling operation. He’s more than a businessman—he’s a hardened bandit, using his wits and fists to dominate Dallas and Fort Worth’s underground scene. Often at war with rival gangs and the law, Benny’s journey takes him to glamorous Las Vegas, where he remains true to his Texas roots, handling problems his own way.

Blood Aces will explore how Benny founded the World Series of Poker, transforming a backroom card game into a global event watched by millions.

The show tells the story of a man who was seen as both hero and villain, delving into the loyalty and betrayal within his family and inner circle as they struggle to control the city. With enemies lurking everywhere and the FBI watching his every move, Blood Aces feels like a blend of classic cowboy and gangster films—a rags-to-riches tale filled with gunfights and high-stakes gambling.

Filming hasn’t started yet, as Cole Hauser is working on the Yellowstone spin-off Dutton Ranch and Stallone is busy with Tulsa King Season 4. Producers are searching for showrunners and writers to adapt the book into a script. While not confirmed, filming is expected in Texas and Las Vegas, with Cole Hauser often working in the Fort Worth area. Industry insiders predict a premiere in early or late 2027, depending on actor schedules and script completion.

Whether you’re a Yellowstone fan or just love gangster stories, Blood Aces is shaping up to be television’s next big empire. Stay tuned for casting updates and production news—this series promises to deliver the grit, drama, and legendary characters fans crave.
