New Television Series Follows One Family’s Journey from City Life to Country Living

"Only in Iola"

IOLA, TX, UNITED STATES, April 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Get ready for a journey into the heart of small-town America with the brand-new television show, “Only in Iola.” The series invites viewers to follow the Sharboneau family as they step away from life in the bustling city and into the sun-kissed fields of Iola, Texas, to embark on a new, simpler way of life. With a population of just 300, Iola is the essence of southern country living. From legendary barbeque cook-offs to cake walks, the charming Texas town exudes character and warmth.

In the show, real-life characters, Shanalee, Perry and son Braydon, trade the comforts of an upscale city life of fine dining, country clubs, spas and five-star hotels, for the rugged beauty of a rural Texas ranch. Their mission? To find meaning in the simplicity of country living as they chase their dreams facing extraordinary challenges. The cameras have been rolling since the Sharboneau’s arrived in town, capturing footage as they learn how to live on and off of the land, including Perry enjoying not having to don business suits, Shanalee realizing her high heeled shoes and fine jewelry serve no purpose on the ranch, and Braydon loving all the new lessons the polite country boys teach him about ranch life.

“The community of Iola is truly amazing. Leaving behind the constant noise of the city has brought us great joy, but it’s the people here who have welcomed and provided us with a refreshing change of pace,” said Shanalee Sharboneau, star of the new series. “When we got here, Iola taught us what we needed to know to run a ranch, but there is so much more to learn. We believe families will feel a sense of togetherness and simplicity through our show and hope to inspire meaningful conversations about life’s beauty and the pursuit of a more purposeful existence between the young and old.”

“I have always wanted to live in the country and we have finally made that dream come true,” said husband and father of the show, Perry Sharboneau. “The community of Iola and the countryside around it has provided us the home we have desired, in a very loving community that has been very gracious.”

Star and son of show, Braydon, has grown since being on the ranch. “When I moved out to the ranch, I thought everything would fall the way I wanted. As I have worked on this ranch for three years, I have realized it does not work that way. I’ve learned to work for everything that I want and to not have everyone work for what I want.”

Together, the family says they have learned the true value of faith, family, and community strength.

Some exciting highlights from the first season of include:

• Roberto the Turkey’s Thanksgiving Drama: When Thanksgiving rolls around, what fate awaits the beloved “Roberto the turkey”? Will he be pardoned or end up on the dinner table?
