'The Red Road' TV Trailer: Trouble Brews In The Ramapo Mountains

The Sundance Channel is getting into the prestige TV game, and is following up Jane Campion's Top of the Lake with six-episode series The Red Road, which has James Gray directing the first episode. (Not to be confused with Andrea Arnold's 2006 film Red Road; this isn't a remake of that movie.)

The show stars Martin Henderson, Jason Momoa, Julianne Nicholson and Tom Sizemore, and follows "a sheriff struggling to keep his family together while simultaneously policing two clashing communities: the small town where he grew up and the neighboring Ramapo Mountains, home of the Ramapo Mountain Indians." In other words, yep, this covers some of the same geography as the film Out of the Furnace, and features the same population that wasn't all that psyched about Scott Cooper's film.

Check out a trailer below.

The Red Road premieres February 27 at 9pm ET/PT. Aaron Guzikowski (Prisoners) scripted, and Sarah Condon (Bored to Death) is exec producer while Bridget Carpenter (Friday Night Lights) acts as show runner. Trailer via The Playlist.

THE RED ROAD is a hard-hitting drama that revolves around a sheriff struggling to keep his family together while simultaneously policing two clashing communities: the small town where he grew up and the neighboring Ramapo Mountains, home of the Ramapo Mountain Indians.  After a terrible tragedy and coverup occurs involving the sheriff's wife, an unholy alliance is forged between the sheriff and a dangerous member of the tribe that will come back to haunt all involved.
