The Ride – premiering May 30 on Prime Video -- is a new docuseries surrounding the world of Professional Bull Riders (PBR). The Ride gives viewers a first-of-its-kind, behind-the-scenes look at one of the world’s fastest-growing – and most dangerous – sports (bull-riding has an even higher risk of catastrophic injuries than the NFL), and follows the lives of its biggest stars, bringing fans closer to the action than ever before. The Ride follows an ensemble cast of bull-riders and coaches throughout the PBR Team Series as they navigate the league’s inaugural 2022 season, budding rivalries, exhilarating highs, and challenging lows. Ezekiel (Zeke) Mitchell is one of the top-ranked bull-riders in the world. He’s also captured nationwide media attention as one of the only Black bull-riders in the hunt for a title at the professional level of his sport. (There’s been just one Black champion in the history of pro bull-riding, Charlie Sampson, crowned in 1982.). One of 11 siblings, Zeke, who spent his childhood near Houston, always considered himself a cowboy, and loved watching PBR on TV from an early age. When he was a teenager, his parents begrudgingly allowed him to compete in a steer-riding competition at his church and he was hooked. Today, Zeke is following his dream of becoming a bull-riding champion, avoiding the dangers of the sport (his close friend Mason Lowe died at a PBR event in 2019 after a bull stomped on him), and pursuing superstardom in a sport not known for its diversity.
