The 10-hour event series Texas Rising will debut on the History Channel starting on May 25 at 9 PM.

But this was a time of bravery, a time to die for what you believed in and a time to stand tall against the cruel rule of the Mexican General Santa Anna. The heroic General Sam Houston, the rag tag Rangers and the legendary “Yellow Rose of Texas” lead this story of the human will to win against insurmountable odds. At the end, the Texas flags stood tall and victorious, claiming a piece of history for all eternity.
The cast includes Bill Paxton, Olivier Martinez, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Brendan Fraser, Trevor Donovan, Jeremy Davies, Ray Liotta, Jeff Fahey, Johnathon Schaech, Chad Michael Murray, Crispin Glover, Max Thieriot, Rob Morrow, Thomas Jane, Kris Kristofferson, Sarah Jones and Robert Knepper.
