Netflix has added both seasons of The Red Road to its United States streaming platform. The series, created by Aaron Guzikowski, returned to Netflix on November 1 after leaving the service in June 2026.

Why it matters

The Red Road had its original run on SundanceTV between 2014 and 2015 before the network canceled it, so the return gives American viewers a new way to watch the complete series. Its availability on a major streaming service makes a cancelled cable drama accessible to a national audience.

The complete run of 2 seasons and 12 episodes is now available on Netflix in the United States. The series was originally produced for SundanceTV, and the extraction does not specify viewership or commercial performance figures.

The players

Netflix

Netflix is a subscription streaming service that distributes film and television programming to viewers worldwide.

Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa is an American actor known for roles in Game of Thrones and Aquaman, and he stars as Phillip Kopus in The Red Road.

SundanceTV

SundanceTV is a cable television network that originally aired The Red Road before canceling it in 2015.

The details

The Red Road follows a local sheriff policing a small town and the neighboring mountains that are home to a federally unrecognized Native American tribe. Jason Momoa stars as Phillip Kopus in the series, which Aaron Guzikowski created.

Timeline

  1. 2014 - 2015: The Red Road airs on SundanceTV.

  2. 2015: SundanceTV cancels the series after two seasons.

  3. June 2026: The Red Road leaves Netflix.

  4. November 1: Both seasons return to Netflix in the United States.

Industry Dynamics

The return of The Red Road to Netflix follows a pattern in which series canceled by cable networks find second audiences on streaming platforms. This reflects the broader shift of television viewing away from original broadcast runs toward on-demand catalogs.

Viewers in the United States can now stream both seasons of The Red Road on Netflix. The series is available through the existing Netflix subscription without a separate purchase.

The takeaway

Series that disappear from one platform can return elsewhere, so checking streaming catalogs before assuming a canceled show is gone can reveal new viewing options. Netflix's catalog changes over time, so availability can shift again.
