Variety

Chiklis will play a 32-year U.S. Border Patrol veteran who, after 32 years as a U.S. Border Patrol agent, is "forced to work for the very people he spent his career trying to keep out of America. Now exposed to life on the other side of the wall, Ben will start to question his black and white views of the world, challenging his ideology and his loyalties," according to Paramount Network's description. Paramount Network president of development Keith Cox says of Coyote: “The powerful, timely setting and complex characters are a perfect fit with the rest of our growing scripted slate. Coyote is befitting of the strong Paramount name.”
