By Aman Shukla Published on July 1, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated July 1, 2025, 11:28 IST Ever since Blue Ridge: The Series hit our screens, fans have been hooked on its mix of small-town charm, gritty crime drama, and those jaw-dropping North Carolina mountain views. After a stellar first season and a 2020 film that started it all, the show's renewal for Season 2 has folks buzzing with excitement. So, what's in store for Sheriff Justin Wise and the folks of Blue Ridge? Here's the lowdown on the release date, cast, plot rumors, and everything else we've got on Blue Ridge Season 2. When's Blue Ridge Season 2 Coming Out? Mark your calendars: Blue Ridge: The Series Season 2 is slated to hit the airwaves on December 18, 2025, as per reports. You'll catch it on the Western Bound channel (what used to be the Cowboy Way Channel), and it'll also stream on platforms like Peacock and Amazon Freevee. Imagicomm Entertainment dropped the news, and it's got fans counting down the days for more heart-pounding drama. Season 1 gave us six episodes, each packed with suspense and heart, so we're betting Season 2 will follow suit with a similar episode count. No official word on the exact schedule yet, but sites like can ping you when new episodes drop. Keep an eye on INSP's website or the show's IMDb page for any last-minute updates as the premiere gets closer. Blue Ridge Season 2 Cast The heart of Blue Ridge is its cast, and Season 2 is bringing back the heavy hitters. Johnathon Schaech is back as Sheriff Justin Wise, the tough-as-nails ex-Green Beret who's trying to keep the peace in Blue Ridge while juggling family life. His chemistry with Sarah Lancaster, who plays Elli Wise, Justin's ex-wife, is a fan favorite, and their push-and-pull dynamic is sure to spark some emotional moments. Taegen Burns returns as Maddie Wise, their teenage daughter, who keeps Justin on his toes with her wit and rebellious streak. The supporting cast is just as solid: A Martinez as Connor McGrath , a town bigwig with plenty of secrets. Tom Proctor as Jeremiah Wade , stirring up trouble as always. Avianna Mynhier as Deputy Maxx Covington , a fierce and loyal member of Justin's crew. Greg Perrow as Deputy RP, who brings grit and a bit of humor to the sheriff's office. Season 1 had some killer guest stars like Bruce Boxleitner and Ethan Embry, and word is Season 2 will keep that tradition alive with some fresh faces. Imagicomm's been tight-lipped about who's joining, but they're teasing some big names. Any guesses on who might show up in Blue Ridge this time? What's the Plot for Blue Ridge Season 2? If there's one thing Blue Ridge does best, it's weaving gritty crime stories with the warmth of a tight-knit mountain town. Season 2 will dig deeper into Sheriff Justin Wise's world as he tackles new cases and old grudges in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Expect each episode to throw a new mystery his way—think murders, shady deals, or maybe even a drug ring stirring up trouble. Here's what we're expecting based on Season 1's vibe and fan chatter: Family Drama: The tension between Justin, Elli, and Maddie is bound to heat up. Some fans on IMDb are hoping for a deeper dive into Justin and Elli's past—maybe even a spark of reconciliation. Will they find common ground, or is more heartbreak on the horizon? New Bad Guys: Every season needs a good villain, and Season 2 will likely introduce some new troublemakers. Whether it's outsiders causing chaos or locals with old scores to settle, Justin's got his work cut out for him. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

This action-crime series just crashed the Prime Video top 10 — and now's the perfect time to binge-watch
Sometimes shows enter Prime Video's top 10 for reasons beyond being new. For example, the 2018 spy thriller 'Condor' recently surged in popularity as it's about to leave the streaming service. Similarly, the action-crime series 'Blue Ridge' (released in 2024) is climbing the charts because season 2 recently dropped. At the time of writing, it's sitting in the No. 9 spot, just behind the recent drama 'Motorheads.' 'Blue Ridge' (the series) is actually a continuation that takes place after the events of the 2020 movie of the same name. It picks up the story of Sheriff Justin Wise as he faces new challenges in the same Appalachian setting, expanding on characters and plotlines that have already been introduced. So it's essentially moved the story forward into a serialized format. Season 2 actually premiered yesterday (June 22) on the Western Bound channel, making this the perfect time to stream the first season on Prime Video. However, if you need more context before adding it to your watchlist, here's everything to know about 'Blue Ridge.' 'Blue Ridge' follows Sheriff Justin Wise (Johnathon Schaech), a former Green Beret who takes on law enforcement in a small Appalachian town after moving there to be closer to his ex-wife, Elli (Sarah Lancaster), and daughter, Maddie (Taegen Burns). Shortly after his arrival, the local police station is mysteriously burned down, and he quickly discovers the town is riddled with crime, corruption, and violence. He works closely with his deputies, Maxx (Avianna Mynhier) and RP (Greg Perrow), to tackle those violent crimes and escalating threats. Throughout six episodes, each case pushes Justin's resolve as he strives to protect Blue Ridge and bring justice to the community. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Blue Ridge' is one of those background shows that's super easy to watch (or even just listen to), but it's not essential viewing, given there are so many more shows that are worth your time. This action-crime drama isn't the flashiest show out there, but that doesn't mean you should totally avoid it. It's still got a solid mix of suspense and family drama that makes it surprisingly easy to get hooked on. You don't need to have seen the 2020 movie to watch the series either. It works as a standalone story, reintroducing Sheriff Justin Wise and his world in a way that new viewers can easily follow. While the show continues from where the movie left off (with some returning characters and backstory) it doesn't rely on the movie for context. Any important details are re-established early on. At its core, 'Blue Ridge' follows a sheriff who's fresh in town, trying to clean up a community tangled in crime and corruption. What makes it appealing is its unpretentious quality, the kind of show where you really get a sense of place, thanks to the Appalachian mountain setting, and a cast of characters who feel real, with flaws and all. It's not a high-octane thriller with explosions, but it does keep the tension simmering just right, episode after episode. Season 2 is now streaming, which means there's plenty of new content if you binge the first six episodes. The mysteries and cases are mostly self-contained, making it easy to jump in without feeling lost, yet there's enough ongoing story with the sheriff's family and the local crime boss to keep things interesting. Of course, it's not perfect, and doesn't match the level of quality you'd see in a Netflix original. Some of the dialogue can lean a bit on the cliché side, and the pacing isn't lightning fast. But if you like shows with a slower burn and a fun mix of crime-solving plus personal drama, it's a good pick. So, if you enjoy small-town crime dramas with a Western vibe and don't mind a bit of predictability, I'd say the 'Blue Ridge' series is worth watching. It's a quieter kind of thrill that might just surprise you, and sometimes all you need is an easy binge-watch. Stream 'Blue Ridge: The Series' season 1 on Prime Video now. You can watch season 2 on the Western Bound channel.
