What Is Hallmark’s New Series Ride About?
Hallmark’s new series Ride takes place in a small town in Colorado. Here is the synopsis that shares more details.
After a tragic loss, each character embarks on an empowering journey of transformation and self-discovery while also uncovering a twisted web of secrets, threatening to tear the family and their small Colorado town apart at the seams. Emotions run high and clashes are common in the complicated Murray clan, but they are a tight-knit group who don’t give up easily. And the three strong women of the family – widowed rodeo queen Missy, matriarch Isabel, and former teen run-away Valeria – resolve to stand strong against all challenges and save their land, come what may.
When Are They Filming Ride?
Firstly, the new Hallmark rodeo dynasty series will start filming this summer. In addition, they are filming in Calgary, Alberta. Therefore, the series should premiere sometime in 2023.
