Steven Jr. Wants To Keep Fans Engaged
WhileThe McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboysseason 1 aired on Peacock, for season 2,the family brought their chaotic reality show to Bravo, which means a wider audience is finding the show.
While the drama playing out on-screen is exciting, it’s the off-screen events unfolding that are really of interest.Steve Sr. is facing serious jail timeafter pleading guilty to one count of federal crop insurance fraud, which cost the government over $4 million. As a result,Steve Sr. is facing 30 years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced in September.

Steven Jr. Didn’t Give A Definitive Answer
Steven Jr.’s words onWatch What Happens Live!about whether his father will appear in season 2 weren’t definitive.Steven Jr. said Steve Sr. “might” show upon screen as the season progresses.
Since Steve Sr. is a major part of the show, audiences would be thrilled to see him back, soSteven Jr. is smart to tease that he may appearto keep viewer interest high.
The McBee family has proven that even without their dad on-screen, they can still provide a hit TV show, but if Steve Sr. eventually does serve prison time,it’s unclear whether the family would be able to maintain their show. We’ll just have to keep watching, like Steven Jr. said.
