Death, deception and forbidden romance, right out of the gate? Hallmark Channel's new rodeo drama Ride quickly ropes you in, so hold on to your horses!
Like a Yellowstone with kinder locals and way less cussin', this addictive tale centers on a Colorado ranching dynasty with deep roots in the rodeo circuit and close ties that bind them to their bustling stomping grounds.
Co-creators and showrunners Rebecca Boss and husband Chris Masi had long been nursing an idea for a series that would capture their rural upbringings. (In her case, home was southeastern New Mexico.) While the couple worked on Fox's glitzier Star and Our Kind of People, "[We] really wanted to write a show about families, for families," affirms Boss.
And what a brood they've hitched their wagon to. The McMurrays read like the first family of fictional Canyon, Colorado. Eldest son Austin (Marcus Rosner) is a rodeo champion wed to former trick rider Missy (Riverdale's Tiera Skovbye); middle heartbreaker Cash (Beau Mirchoff of Good Trouble) has been off serving in the military; and the youngest, Tuff (Hallmark movie vet Jake Foy), is a rider and country singer whose interest in men doesn't make him any less of a cowboy.

The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial
FIRST SHOWN LIVE on TV as part of Ford Star Jubilee in 1955, then filmed by Robert Altman in 1988, Herman Wouk’s courtroom classic (adapted from his 1951 novel) is of special interest in its latest version as the final film directed by Oscar winner William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist).

Harry Wild
We're just wild about Harry...and so are viewers. They've turned this Dublin-set series-about a rambunctious retired literature professor (Jane Seymour) who solves mysteries-into a success, and its star couldn't be happier.
Loki
Time hasn’t progressed much at all for the ancient god of mischief Loki (Tom Hiddleston) since Season 1’s cataclysmic finale cliffhanger.

SEAL Team
WHERE WE LEFT OFF Team leader Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz, below) and his patriotic, do-or-die unit were last seen on CBS back in 2021 in the fourth episode of Season 5 before the action drama moved to Paramount+. (Those four episodes will restart the whole season run before the rest play out.)
Magnum P.I.
Thomas Magnum (Jay Hernandez) and Juliet Higgins (Perdita Weeks) have bested murderous baddies and skirted numerous will-they-won’t-they cliffhangers. Now, Oahu’s top PIs are a team in all ways, but are they ready to face the ultimate test—parenthood?
