Karen Kingsbury, the author whose books have been adapted into a series of Hallmark films, has quietly released a new television series. This series is thematically similar to Hallmark’s upcoming series Ride, but will be broadcast on a different network.

A Thousand Tomorrows will air on Pureflix

The faith-based series A Thousand Tomorrows launched on streaming service Pureflix on Friday, February 24. It is a wonderful film to be shared. New episodes are released every Friday on Pureflix. Thematically, the series is similar to Hallmark’s upcoming series “Ride” or even “Heartland”.

The Summary reads: “The series is about Cody Gunnar, a nationally known bull rider who is cocky, cheeky and a legend among his kind. On the way up, Cody discarded everything about his past — his famous father, his hurt mother, and every woman he’s ever met. His heart only has room for his younger brother Carl Joseph. Then barrel racer Ali Daniels enters his life. God only knows how many tomorrows they will have together. Can Cody and Ali make the most of their time in the dangerous and competitive world of rodeo?”

The Description for the pilot episodeDubbed “Untouchable,” it reads, “Cody and Ali are young rodeo stars with their eyes on the national championship belt. Cody would do anything to protect his brother Carl Joseph from their absent father, and Ali is willing to risk anything to stay in the saddle.”

There will be six episodes in the first season, PureFlix shared in a press release.

The series stars Colin Ford, Rose Reid, Cole Sibus, Anne Leighton, Kate Easton, KC Clyde and CK Bolado.

Ford’s previous credits include Dahmer, Walker, the TV series, Solar, The Rookie, The War with Grandpa, Daybreak (10 episodes as Josh Wheeler), and Captain Marvel (Steve Danvers.)

Ford said of his role in a press release, “I really relate to my character, Cody Gunnar. I grew up Christian but didn’t really practice my faith when I was young and that has changed a lot in recent years. Cody experienced trials and tribulations during his childhood and focused on survival. It’s not until he meets Ali that he learns that faith can carry him through love and loss.”

Reid’s credits include “Surprised by Oxford”, “A Welcome Home Christmas”, “Finding You”, “Sweet Sweet Summertime” and more.

Reid said in a press statement, “It really encourages audiences to look for a higher power and something bigger than themselves during difficult times. For my character Ali, even though she’s going through something difficult, she has so much strength from her faith in God and she knows she’s not alone in the struggle. And that’s such a powerful example for anyone who watches this show.”

Sibus’ credits include 18 episodes as Ansel Parios on Stumptown.

Easton’s credits include “Among the Beasts”, “Love on Iceland”, “Where’d You Go, Bernadette”, “Otherhood”, “When They See Us”, “Faith Under Fire”, “Gone” and more.

Clyde’s credits include “Kung Fu”, “Yellowstone” (four episodes as District Attorney Randy), “4/20”, “Big Kill”, “Fallout 76”, “Run the Tide” and more.

She replied, “There is no other author I would rather work with than you!!! You are talented and trainable, humble and confident!! You are a pleasure to work with and I love that your ideas are so often better than mine!!”
