Imagicomm Entertainment has confirmed that the second season of its Appalachian crime drama Blue Ridge: The Series will premiere on the INSP network on Sunday 19 July at 10 p.m. ET. The show is one of a wave of neo-Western series that have emerged to capitalise on demand created by the runaway success of Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone, and its first season became one of the top five most popular titles worldwide on Prime Video after airing in late 2024.

Blue Ridge stars Johnathon Schaech, Sarah Lancaster, Taegen Burns and Tom Proctor, and is based on the 2020 original television film of the same name, which also featured Schaech and Lancaster. Season two adds a notable list of guest stars, including A.J. Buckley, Bruce Boxleitner, Keith Carradine, Eric Close, Sean Patrick Flanery, Zachary Gordon and Chelsea Green. The article frames the show alongside other Yellowstone-inspired series such as Netflix's Ransom Canyon and Prime Video's Outer Range, and notes that the announcement coincides with the 30th anniversary of Schaech's film That Thing You Do.
