The CW Is Airing Hallmark’s Canceled Series Ride
On Tuesday, Deadline reported that The CW is going to air the first season of Hallmark’s now-canceled series Ride. Originally, Hallmark premiered this new series back in late March. However, they quietly decided not to renew it without making a formal announcement.
Now, The CW is going to see if this series will fare better on broadcast television, as Hallmark gave it a go on cable.
When Will The CW Premiere Ride?
The CW premiere of Ride will be on Monday, January 22, at 8 p.m., Eastern. There are 10 episodes in Season 1. That means it will air until sometime in late March.
Will There Be Ride Season 2?
Now that The CW has decided to air the canceled Hallmark series, have they ordered to renew Ride for Season 2? The news is that “The network has no plans to order a second season of Ride, at least for now.”
Therefore, The CW can air the 10 episodes to see whether or not they have an audience for this series. Then, they may decide to order it.
The CW Has Picked Up The Hallmark-Like Series Sullivan’s Crossing
Because of all the strikes, The CW has chosen to pick up shows to air like Ride to fill in their schedule. Firstly, they picked up the Canadian series Sullivan’s Crossing. This stars When Hope Calls alum Morgan Kohan, One Tree Hill heartthrob Chad Michael Murray, and Gilmore Girls alum Scott Patterson. Although one season had aired in Canada, The CW chose to renew the series months before they aired a single episode.
Sullivan’s Crossing is from the Robyn Carr novels of the same name. Carr is famous for her novels that inspired the Netflix series Virgin River. This overlaps with the Hallmark audience.
Their other series that is still pending is Spencer Sisters. This mystery series stars Stacey Farber and Lea Thompson as a mother-and-daughter team of sleuths. Hallmark fans will recognize these leads, as well as a lot of the supporting actors that are in these movies.
However, The CW has not decided on the future of this sleuthing series. Now, the question is whether Ride will have the same fate as Sullivan’s Crossing, or Spencer Sisters.
Ride fans, would you like The CW to pick up Season 2 of this western series?
I really hope that Ride comes back, with a season 2 and beyond. I love the show! I look forward to it every week it is on! Long live the “Ride”.
Please renew “Ride”, “Sullivan’s Crossing”, and “Spencer Sisters”!!!
I love these shows!!!
