The Red Road is a drama series that aired on SundanceTV from February 27, 2014 to May 7, 2015.[1] This was SundanceTV's second fully owned scripted original series; the first was Rectify. The Red Road was canceled after its second season, confirmed by Jason Momoa, who played Phillip Kopus in the series.[2]

Plot

The main protagonist is Police Officer Harold Jensen, who is trying to keep his family together after a cover-up involving his mentally unstable wife, who is a recovering alcoholic. She had self-medicated her undiagnosed schizophrenia with alcohol. Jensen comes into conflict with Phillip Kopus, a member of the Ramapough Mountain people. His state-recognized tribe lives in the Ramapo Mountains in a border area of New York and New Jersey in the fictitious small town of Walpole, New Jersey, across the Hudson River from New York City.[3][4][5]

Production

The working title for the series was originally The Descendants.[6] Production for both seasons were in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2013 and 2014.[7][8]
