What Is Pig Royalty About?

Welcome to Helotes, TX, where pig shows are as big as "Friday Night Lights" football. In the all-new series, PIG ROYALTY, audiences will dive into the extreme world of pig show competitions and follow the rivalry between two unforgettable families: the Baleros, who have reigned supreme for years; and the Rihns, who want to take them down and become the next great pig dynasty.

The two families criss-cross Texas, competing for the ultimate prizes: money; scholarships; big, shiny belt buckles that “crown” you the winner; and all the bragging rights that go with them. Don’t let the southern smiles and hospitality fool you – the stakes are high and family legacies, reputations and thousands of dollars are on the line. May the best pig win!

In the all-new season of PIG ROYALTY, the notorious family rivalries of team Balero and team Rihn make a squealing return and each team has something to prove as these ‘pig’ time personalities go head-to-head. After the intensity of last year’s show season, Team Rihn is ready to get back in the ring with Jody and Josh Rihn’s son, Kannen, at the forefront. While trying to bulk up on buckles and redemption, the Rihns are also birthing baby pigs in hopes of revamping their business and increasing their breeding operations to form the ultimate champions. Just as the breeding operation is getting off the ground, the Rihn’s house gets destroyed by a tornado, forcing them to move into a trailer while they rebuild. Luckily no pigs are harmed, but feelings get hurt as family friend and fellow coach, Tyler Parrish, starts to question his future on the Rihn team.

On the other side of the arena, Team Balero, led by the fearless matriarch of a pig-winning dynasty, Michelle Bolero, isn’t going home without a fight… and some buckles. This season, the competition takes an unexpected turn as team Balero experiences a shocking betrayal when the star of their team, Nugget, begins entertaining offers from other teams. With Michelle only having one team member left, she’s determined to restore her show team back to its former glory and bring home the bacon.

With each family’s reputations and even livelihoods on the line, these contestants are willing to do whatever it takes to hog the coveted belt buckles and bragging rights in and out of the ring. The battle has just begun, and the pigs are ready to show up and show off.

From daily walks and scrubbing the sties, to betrayal and ruthless competition, expect no shortage of pigs and no shortage of drama in PIG ROYALTY. Throughout the season, we’ll see each family practice with their prized pigs day and night in order to win the coveted ‘buckles,’ either for showmanship or breed champion, along with scholarships and hefty cash prizes. Audiences are introduced to a whole new universe of fierce pig show coaches and ‘pig parents,’ who live and breathe pig shows and watch over the next generation of competitors. We’ll meet matriarch Michelle Balero and her champion daughters McKayla, McKenzie, and McCall who train their cousin Taytain “The Nugget” Diaz (11) and have a reputation for drama and the buckles to back it up; The Rihn’s, headed up by matriarch Jodi who, along with her daughters Kammi and Keylie, is looking to make her son Kannen (12) a winner and has some scores to settle with The Baleros; and Jody Rihn’s friends the Tyks’, headed by mothers Mandy and Kristen, who are underdogs looking to get their son Brandon (16) back in the game.

Audiences will track this multi-generational rivalry that consumes the lives of the Bolero and Rihn pig parents and trickles down to the kids as they compete to have the best, most celebrated pigs in Texas. Get ready to be pulled in by the belt buckle, as the matriarchs and their daughters prepare their preteen protégées for a competition filled with backstabbing and potential sabotage as tears and secrets spill along the way. Find out who will be crowned the winner and who will be left out in the pig pen.

The last episode of the series was released on May 4, 2021 in the US.
