My Quick Take:

I hope you all will enjoy the new season of "Blue Ridge."

From high-stakes investigations to pulse-pounding action and heartfelt family moments, it looks like season 2 will continue to deliver excitement at every turn!

Note of caution: Due to intense crime-fighting drama and violence, this show (in my opinion) is not for young viewers.

In addition to the incredible lineup of guest stars mentioned in the press release above, also be sure to look for Jesse Hutch (“Crossroad Springs”), Melissa Ordway Gaston (“Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries”), Nick Gonzales (“Christmas on the Range”), and Annabeth Gish (“The Warrant”) in season 2!

Hope you enjoy the show!
Blessings, Net
