The Hallmark Series That Stars Actors From Riverdale And Shameless

The Hallmark Channel has been a staple for many TV fans since it launched in the early 2000s. Hallmark has become must-watch TV, with many of your favorites like Meghan Markle and Tori Spelling taking on roles with the network. Fans can't get enough of their women-centered programming, with the company's executive vice president of programming and network publicity stating, "We are one of the leaders in television dedicated to empowering women and providing females the opportunity to thrive both on and off screen," via Paste.

While fans passionately follow Hallmark for its strong female leads and, of course, the coveted holiday season films, the network has also become known for its various TV series. Their original programming includes "Cedar Cove" and the latest hit, "The Way Home."

If you're only tuning into Hallmark's movies, you might be missing out on the series "Ride," which features stars from "Riverdale" and "Shameless."

The Hallmark Channel has branched out from creating popular TV movies and has added scripted series to its arsenal of content. Some of the most popular shows include "Chesapeake Shores," "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," and "When Hope Calls." Now, the network has debuted a series called "Ride," and some of the lead actors may look familiar.

The plot of the show is centered around the McMurray family and the dynamics between the multiple generations, who are working and living on a beloved ranch that has long been in their lineage. Sadly, the family has lost an integral member, and now, they are all going on a journey to find themselves, work together, and keep the ranch moving. Of course, there are many twists and turns here, plus a plethora of secrets that become uncovered, all of which are trying to pull the family apart. But you'll likely recall where you have seen the actors in this TV show before.

"Ride" is one of The Hallmark Channel's latest original series, but the cast is filled with actors we've seen in some of our other favorite shows. The role of Missy McMurray, the woman who married into the family and is trying to find her way in the complicated dynamic, is portrayed by Tiera Skovbye, the Canadian actress who played Betty's sister, Polly Cooper, in "Riverdale." Her husband, Austin McMurray, is portrayed by Marcus Rosner, who has been in a long list of Hallmark movies from "Love on Harbor Island" and "Christmas With a Crown."

Cash McMurray, the brother of Austin, is played by Beau Mirchoff, who has been in a variety of projects such as the popular MTV show, "Awkward," and a few Hallmark movies, as well. Finally, Gus, who is not a member of the McMurray family but plays an interesting role in their lives, is portrayed by Tyler Jacob Moore, who has landed roles in "Shameless" and "Once Upon a Time."

While the show may be new, the cast is filled with experienced actors, and is sure to be a hit.
