The Red Road returns to Netflix after six-year hiatus
In a surprise Boxing Day update, both seasons of the SundanceTV/AMC drama The Red Road — starring Jason Momoa — have returned to Netflix in the US and select international regions. All 12 episodes are now live on the streamer as of December 26, 2025.
The Red Road first appeared on Netflix in 2015 but was removed when its licensing window expired in November 2019. Its comeback follows an expanded licensing agreement between AMC and Netflix struck earlier in 2025 that has brought several of the network’s series back to the platform.
What’s available and for how long
Netflix now lists seasons 1 and 2 of The Red Road, totaling 12 episodes. Sources indicate the series is currently licensed for roughly six months, meaning it could depart again as early as June 26, 2026, unless the streaming deal is extended. Viewers on Netflix’s ad-supported tier should note that many AMC titles remain unavailable on that plan, and The Red Road is currently among those blocked.
Quick synopsis: hard-hitting small-town drama
Before Jason Momoa became widely known for Aquaman and his roles in major blockbusters, he led this intense, character-driven drama that originally aired from 2014 to 2015. Set in Walpole, New Jersey, The Red Road explores tensions between the town’s residents and the neighboring Ramapough Lenape tribe. The story ignites when a tragedy and subsequent cover-up force a sheriff and a dangerous tribal member into an uneasy alliance with consequences that reverberate through both communities.

Why this return matters
For fans of Jason Momoa’s earlier work and viewers who missed the show the first time around, The Red Road’s return to Netflix offers a convenient chance to stream both seasons in one place. The limited licensing window means interested viewers should binge sooner rather than later.
Will you be revisiting The Red Road on Netflix? The series’ return is an easy pick for fans of tense, character-driven crime drama and for followers tracing Jason Momoa’s career from TV to major feature film roles.
