Johannesburg, 19 March 2026: The wait is finally over as Blue Ridge returns to Universal TV (DStv 117) with Season 2 on 2 April at 8 PM with new episodes every Thursday until the season finale on 21 May.

Based on the 2020 film of the same name, Blue Ridge follows Sheriff Justin Wise and his two deputies as they work to protect their small Appalachian town from the forces trying to rip it apart. Every case tests their grit, loyalty, and the limits of small-town peace. Longstanding feuds, disgruntled criminals, unruly travellers, and cold-blooded murderers wreak havoc - threatening the safety of the citizens Justin has promised to protect. 

Season 2 explores the shifting dynamics within the community and the growing pressures that come with wearing the badge in a place where everyone knows your name – and your history.

In Blue Ridge, justice is personal and earned one fight, one mystery, and one truth at a time.

Johnathon Schaech (That Thing You Do!, Houdini) returns alongside Sarah Lancaster (Chuck, The Judge) as Elli Wise, Taegen Burns (Imaginary, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers) as Maddie Wise, and A. Martinez (Longmire, Avatar: The Last Airbender) as Connor McGrath.

The series will also feature surprise guest stars, including Bruce Boxleitner (Babylon 5, Tron), Eric Close (Suits, Without a Trace), and Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints, Nefarious).

Blue Ridge premieres on Universal TV on 2 April at 8 PM, with new episodes airing every Thursday until 21 May.

Universal TV is available on DStv Channel 117 across Africa.
