Show Guide: 'Ride' (2023)

Synopsis: Ride is a multigenerational family drama that follows the lives of the McMurrays, a tight-knit family that embarks on a journey of self-discovery on the heels of a tragic loss as they uncover a twisted web of secrets that threatens to tear the family and their Colorado town apart. At the center is Cash McMurray (Beau Mirchoff, Good Trouble, The Fosters), a champion bull-rider with a complicated past who yearns to escape his older brother’s shadow as the fate of the family dynasty falls into his hands.

The strong women of the family – matriarch Isabel (Nancy Travis) who struggles with her son taking up the dangerous family mantle, former rodeo queen Missy (Tiera Skovbye, Riverdale, Nurses) and “adopted” runaway Valeria (Sara Garcia, The Flash, Reign) – lock arms with Cash to save their land and stand strong against all challenges, come what may.
