The Sundance Channel received critical acclaim for its mini-series Top of the Lake, so its no surprise to see another 6-episode show being announced. In The Red Road, viewers are invited into the tumultuous world of the Ramapo Mountains complete with family drama and violence. The new series stars Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa alongside Martin Henderson, Julianne Nicholson and Tom Sizemore.

Here is the official synopsis for this new Sundance Channel mini-series:

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.

The subject matter of The Red Road was also involved in the 2013 film Into the Furnace. Producers of this film are currently in a legal battle with the Ramapo Indians.

The attorney for the Ramapough Indians taking up this case against the movie had this to say in the court statement:
