🌹Happy Mother's Day Weekend - Enjoy a New Movie, Marathons, and More!🌹 #MothersDay *SEE HERE:

Happy weekend, friends!

I pray those of you observing Mother's Day this Sunday will have an enjoyable time and a lovely celebration. (Please note... I will share more on this at the end of this post.)

As for the new programming this Saturday and Sunday, the Hallmark Channel is diving into *Countdown to Summer* with an all-new adventure film, A Whitewater Romance, starring Cindy Busby and Benjamin Hollingsworth; plus, an all-new When Calls the Heart on Sunday night has an unwanted visitor and more trouble with the resort project. However, in more uplifting news, in case you haven't heard, When Calls the Heart has been renewed for Season 12 - see details here.

Blue Ridge: The Series ends its first season with a finale that Actor/Executive Producer Johnathon Schaech (who portrays Sheriff Justin Wise) says is "going to rock your world and hopefully make you chuckle." The finale episode has two guest stars, Erin Cahill (A Timeless Christmas, Love, Fall, & Order, Mystery 101) and Ethan Embry (Sweet Home Alabama, Vegas Vacation). Erin's character, Beth Yates, reminds me a lot of her role on Mystery 101, as she portrays Justin's ex-girlfriend and an FBI agent. Ethan Embry starred with Johnathon Schaech in the movie That Thing You Do, and he's a young actor in one of my all-time favorite classic Christmas movies, All I Want for Christmas. However, he certainly isn't playing the same nice, boy-next-door type of character in this thrilling, suspenseful, finale episode of Blue Ridge.

See more details below on the Blue Ridge: The Series finale, plus the new movie, A Whitewater Romance, When Calls the Heart, special marathons for Mother's Day, and more...

BLUE RIDGE: THE SERIES Coming this Spring 👉👉

Imagicomm Entertainment has announced BLUE RIDGE: THE SERIES to premiere Sunday, April 7th, on the Cowboy Way channel. Based on the popular film Blue Ridge, which premiered in 2020, this series is a six-episode procedural crime drama set in the lush and forbidding mountains of North Carolina.

Blue Ridge: The Series has an all-star cast with many names you are likely to recognize from previous films and TV shows.

See details on who will star and more in the press release below... Plus, I have information on where you can watch the Cowboy Way channel at the end of this post.

PRESS RELEASE via IMAGICOMM ENTERTAINMENT:

JOHNATHON SCHAECH 

TAPPED AS LEAD 

IN BLUE RIDGE: THE SERIES

The crime procedural makes its exclusive worldwide premiere on April 7, 2024 on Cowboy Way FAST channel

(Indian Land, SC – January 17, 2024) – Cowboy Way channel today announced the highly anticipated debut of BLUE RIDGE: THE SERIES will premiere on Sunday, April 7th at 8PM ET. This marks the first time Hollywood movie star Johnathon Schaech (That Thing You Do! Texas Rising, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) takes a leading role in an episodic series, as he reprises his character from the original film, BLUE RIDGE. The announcement comes from series showrunner Gary Wheeler.

"We are thrilled to have Johnathon return to the world of BLUE RIDGE to further the character's journey across a full-length series,” said Wheeler. “In his first foray as a series lead, Johnathon’s performance is amazing. He is sharp and intuitive in this role, bringing grit and believability to Sheriff Wise’s character and to the story arc of each episode.”

Johnathon is joined by a stellar cast in Season 1, including Sarah Lancaster (Chuck, Everwood, Christmas in the Smokies) as Elli Wise; A Martinez (Longmire, The Cowboys, Dark Winds) as Connor McGrath; Taegen Burns (The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, The Right Stuff, Imaginary) as Maddie Wise; Tom Proctor (Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Justified, Guardians of the Galaxy) as Jeremiah Wade; Avianna Mynhier (The Walking Dead) as Deputy Maxx Covington; and Greg Perrow (The Warrant, Festival of Trees) as Deputy RP.

Wheeler continued, “The immense talent cast in those supporting roles, along with surprise guest stars, will undoubtedly captivate audiences week after week. With performances by Bruce Boxleitner (Tron, Babylon 5, How the West Was Won, Far Haven); Max Martini (The Unit, 13 Hours, Pacific Rim); Ethan Embry (That Thing You Do!, Sweet Home Alabama, Grace and Frankie); Mike O’Hearn (American Gladiators, Mr. Universe); Erin Cahill (Cut to the Chase, Christmas on the Range); Lev Cameron (Far Haven); and Jessica McKay (WWE Star), each episode satisfies and entertains.”

Watch Johnathon Schaech's television debut in this gripping continuation of the BLUE RIDGE saga, during the exclusive worldwide premiere of BLUE RIDGE: THE SERIES on Sunday, April 7th at 8PM ET on Cowboy Way channel.

Movie/Series Review:

🌟 Just watched the Blue Ridge movie for the first time and then the two episodes that have been released thus far. I am loving it!! So refreshing to see non-woke, old-fashioned themes in entertainment. A noble lawman who puts his life on the line for his family and his community. Masculinity depicted as something good, not toxic. Women who are strong without losing their femininity, unlike the feminist girlbosses we see in other media. A man who has taken responsibility for the mistakes that led to his divorce and is determined to win back his ex-wife. A romance in which the man serves and cares for the woman, and the woman respects and admires the man. But I think my favorite thing about the show is what it says about America. Our country has its dysfunctional subcultures, and one of those is definitely represented here by the feuding clans whose tribalistic mentality justifies violence and cheapens life. But then you have the main character who exemplifies the best of the American spirit: courage, individualism, personal responsibility, service, and traditional morals. And it’s a beautiful thing to see the best of America triumph over the worst of America. That’s one of the themes of American history and I love seeing that acknowledged. ~RC

How to Watch the Cowboy Way channel:

Stream through these platforms: DistroTV, FreeCast, Frndly TV, Philo, Plex, Redbox, Roku, Samsung TV Plus, Sling, TCL, Vidgo, Vizio, and Xumo.


My Quick Take:

I'm personally looking forward to seeing this all-new television series this spring, based on the movie Blue Ridge, and I'm most pleased they were able to bring back the main cast. The original film is filled with mystery and intrigue; it is a murder mystery, however, so it's best-suited for a mature audience.

If you haven't seen the original movie, Blue Ridge, hopefully, you can catch one of these upcoming encore airings: Friday, February 2, 2024, at 6pm/5c. and Saturday, February 3, 2024, at 6am/5c. on the Cowboy Way channel.

I hope you enjoyed this update and will look forward to this series.

Blessings to You All,
