Overview
- The series premiered on USA Network on Friday, Aug. 7, with new episodes airing weekly in a 10-episode first season and day-after streaming on Crave in Canada.
- U.S. viewers can only watch new episodes on USA Network or through providers that carry the channel and USANetwork.com/Fandango while the season airs, and the show will not stream on Peacock during this run because USA Network now operates under Versant.
- Season one was shot entirely on location around Calgary and the Canadian Rockies standing in for Glacier National Park, producing frequent praise for the visuals and on-set anecdotes such as an early grizzly encounter reported by cast members.
- Creator-director Lea Thompson developed the adaptation over roughly 12 years and, with showrunner Morwyn Brebner, condensed Nevada Barr’s novels by adapting the first two books into a single, park-set season.
- Early reviews are mixed, with critics broadly praising Spiridakos’s lead performance and the production’s natural settings while finding the week-to-week procedural plotting familiar and formulaic, leaving renewal prospects and post-season streaming as points to watch.
