Jason Momoa’s series, The Red Road, has made a highly anticipated return to Netflix after six years. As of December 26, both seasons of the drama are available on the platform in the US and select international regions.
Details of The Red Road’s Return
The Red Road originally premiered on SundanceTV in 2014 and concluded its run in 2015. The show was previously available on Netflix until November 2019 when its licensing agreement ended. However, a new deal with AMC was established earlier this year, allowing the series to make a comeback.
- Seasons Available: Both Season 1 and Season 2
- Total Episodes: 12 episodes
- Availability: Limited to six months, possibly leaving by June 26, 2026
Currently, The Red Road is part of an expanded agreement between Netflix and AMC, which brings various classic shows from the network to the streaming platform.
Plot Overview
The series offers a compelling narrative centered in Walpole, New Jersey. It explores the complex dynamics between the small-town community and the nearby Lenape Native American tribe. Tensions escalate following a tragic event that sets two men from opposing sides on a collision course.
The official synopsis captures the essence of the show: a sheriff striving to maintain family ties while managing conflicts between two communities—the town he knows and the Ramapough Mountains where the Lenape Nation resides. A significant tragedy involving the sheriff’s wife forces him into a reluctant partnership with a member of the tribe, leading to haunting consequences.
Cast and Characters
The Red Road boasts a talented cast, including:
- Jason Momoa: Phillip Kopus, a charismatic and dangerous member of the Lenape tribe.
- Martin Henderson: Harold Jensen, a conflicted police officer.
- Julianne Nicholson: Jean Jensen, Harold’s wife grappling with personal challenges.
- Tom Sizemore: Jack Kopus, Phillip’s father.
Fans may recognize Martin Henderson from his role in Netflix’s Virgin River, while Jason Momoa is widely known as Aquaman.
