Badlands, Texas:Series Arrives On The Sony Channel Africa In August 2016 And Season 27 Of The Amazing Race Makes Its Destination Here On The Sony Channel

Badlands, Texas: Series – Starts Thursday 04 August   Day: Thursdays Time: 20:00 Cast: Ronny Dodson, Ronda Haberer, Michael Kasper, Ty Mitchell, Herman Everett, Doug Blackmon Along the Mexican border sits the small, tight-knit community of Terlingua, Texas.

The death results in the loss of a respected member of the community, and the gut-wrenching murder trial that follows tears the town apart.
