At the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, Disney+ paneled a selection of upcoming Original Series from across a number of its key brands, including Lucasfilm's Andor, Marvel Studios She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Growing Up from Disney Branded Television and Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory from National Geographic. Fall premiere dates were unveiled for a number of series including Growing Up (Sep 8) and The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers Season 2 (Sep 28), from Disney Branded Television, Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory (Sep 8) and Super/Natural from National Geographic (Sep 21), and Season 31 of Dancing with the Stars on Sept. 19. Ahead of its premiere, Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory has also been picked up for a second season, which is filming now. A new premiere date and rollout for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was also announced. In addition, official trailers for Growing Up and Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory, both premiering on September 8, in celebration of Disney+ Day, were released, along with the official trailer for Super/Natural, premiering September 21.
Production began on Ride, Hallmark Channel's new, original primetime series, shooting on location in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A compelling, family drama centered on a rodeo dynasty, the series will premiere on Hallmark Channel in 2023. The network has also announced the casting of the dynastic McMurray Family. The series follows Missy McMurray, played by Tiera Skovbye (Riverdale Nurses). A former rodeo queen, Missy is a McMurray by marriage and struggles to find her place in the family. Nancy Travis (Last Man Standing, The Kominsky Method) is Isabel McMurray, the tough-as-nails family matriarch fighting to keep her family legacy afloat following a tragedy. Beau Mirchoff (Good Trouble, Hidden Gems) is Cash McMurray, the second-born son who will carry on his family's legacy; Sara Garcia (The Flash, Reign) is Valeria Galindo and Jake Foy (Designated Survivor, A Little Daytime Drama) is Tuff McMurray, Isabel's youngest son. Rounding out the cast is Tyler Jacob Moore (Shameless, Once Upon a Time) as Gus, a handsome stranger who comes into their lives.
Ride is a multigenerational family ensemble following the lives of the McMurrays, part of a rodeo dynasty going back a generation, as they struggle to keep their beloved ranch afloat. After a tragic loss, each character embarks on an empowering journey of transformation and self-discovery while also uncovering a twisted web of secrets, threatening to tear the family and their small Colorado town apart at the seams. Emotions run high and clashes are common in the complicated McMurray clan, but they are a tight-knit group who don't give up easily. And the three strong women of the family - widowed rodeo queen Missy, matriarch Isabel, and former teen run-away Valeria - resolve to stand strong against all challenges and save their land, come what may.
