Return to Lonesome Dove

Return to Lonesome Dove is a 1993 four part television miniseries, written by John Wilder involving characters created in Larry McMurtry's western novel Lonesome Dove which was broadcast by CBS and first aired on November 14–17, 1993. The story focuses on a retired Texas Ranger and his adventures driving mustangs from Texas to Montana.

It is a sequel to the 1989 miniseries Lonesome Dove, but was not written by McMurty, who instead wrote and published his own sequel novel Streets of Laredo in the same time frame.
