For every high-concept series like Severance and big budget video game adaptation such as The Last of Us and Fallout, there are shows that would look right at home on broadcast networks or perhaps on a cable channel, like with FX's Justified. The Pitt is the go-to example for a streaming series that would be right at home on a broadcast network. Another strong choice for a solid throwback is Blue Ridge: The Series, which is a direct continuation of the 2020 movie of the same name, and centers on a sheriff of a small mountain town. It's been finding new viewers on Prime Video despite no official word on its future. Blue Ridge: The Series Is Climbing Prime Video's Top 10 Blue Ridge: The Series is climbing higher and higher on Prime Video, where it was available to stream for subscribers. In the U.S., the drama has been steadily working its way through the Top 10 over the past week. It debuted at #7 on Prime Video's Top 10 shows list, occassionally appearing at #6. As of this writing, it's back where it started but looks to be holding strong and gaining comparisons to Yellowstone. Created by Gary Wheeler and consisting of 14 episodes across two seasons, Blue Ridge's story puts a spotlight on Jnathon Schaech in the role of Sheriff Justin Wise and the initial episodes explore how his life, as well as the life of his wife and daughter turns upside down after the death of a land developer.whose quiet mountain town erupts into chaos after the murder of an unpopular local land developer Wise soon begins searching for answers, along with his team, and they soon discover secrets that change how they see the town they thought they knew. Blue Ridge is performing well enough to sometimes appear in Prime Video's Overall Top 10, debuting and staying at #9. But it's unclear if there will be a next chapter. The Action Show's Future Is Currently A Mystery The cast of Blue Ridge, which includes Sarah Lancaster, Taegen Burns, A Martinez, Avianna Mynhier, Greg Perrow, Tom Proctor, Lev Cameron, Odessa Feaster, Grayson Russell, and Burgess Jenkins, is currently awaiting word on if Blue Ridge season 3 will happen. The show's second installment upped the stakes and increased the danger for its protagonist, calling out for a renewal. One way to make that happen is to keep its viewing numbers high on Prime Video. Even though Blue Ridge is very much its own blend of Western and action drama, it has similar elements may appeal to viewers who are already in for Justin Hartley's Colter Shaw on Tracker and Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens on Justified.
