Hallmark Channel Orders Rodeo Drama ‘Ride’

Hallmark Channel has greenlit “Ride” for 2023, a multigenerational family drama that follows the lives of the Murrays as they struggle to keep their beloved ranch afloat. The logline: “Ride” takes place following a tragic loss and traces each character’s empowering journey of transformation and self-discovery while also uncovering a web of secrets that threatens to tear apart the family and their small Colorado town.

Inspired, perhaps, by the success of drama “Yellowstone” on Paramount+, the Murray family on “Ride” a tight-knit group who don’t give up easily but is prone to high emotions and personality clashes. It is often left up to the three strong women of the family — widowed rodeo queen Missy, matriarch Isabel, and former teen runaway Valeria — to stand strong against all challenges and save their land.

Blink49 Studios and Seven24 Films are producing the show in partnership with Bell Media for CTV Drama Channel in Canada. “Ride” is based on an original script by husband and wife writing duo Rebecca Boss & Chris Masi (“Our Kind of People”), who also serve as showrunners and executive producers alongside Sherri Cooper-Landsman (“Brothers & Sisters”).
