The drama has been a hit among viewers as the show has an impressive Tomatometer score of 95 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes and a Popcornmeter of 74 per cent.
A synopsis reads: 'Terry Richmond enters the town of Shelby Springs on a simple but urgent mission - post bail for his cousin and save him from imminent danger.
'But when Terry's life's savings is unjustly seized by law-enforcement, he's forced to go head to head with local police chief Sandy Burnne and his combat-ready officers.
'Terry finds an unlikely ally in court clerk Summer McBride and the two become ensnared in a deep-rooted conspiracy within the remote township.
'As the stakes turn deadly, Terry must call upon his mysterious background to break the department's hold on the community, bring justice to his own family-- and protect Summer in the process.'
The show's writer and director, Jeremy Saulnier told Netflix: 'As a filmmaker, I dig grounded '80s and '90s action films that not only deliver on spectacle but succeed in tying on-screen mayhem to a real and true emotional component.
'Smaller scale, bigger impact. Less veneer, less artificiality.
'They're rooted in a 'kick up the dust' level of craft and authenticity that I don't see often in the current space, and I was interested in making a film more like that.'
John Boyega was set to play Terry Richmond in Rebel Ridge before Aaron Pierre was secured for the role.
According to reports, John was reportedly cast for the leading role in November 2019 as the shooting was set to start in April 2020.
But because of delays from the lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic the film production did not start until May 2021.
In June 2021, the film faced another major challenge when John unexpectedly removed himself from the project.

After many rumours swarmed about the star's reasoning to leave, his agent later revealed that the actor had to suddenly leave due to 'family reasons.'
Speaking of his late acquired role, he told Netflix: 'Just to be gifted the opportunity to play a character so nuanced and layered and complex and deeply human as Terry Richmond is undeniable.
'These opportunities don't come by your desk every day. So when they do, you grab it with both hands, you embrace it, and you pull yourself into the character and the creation of said project.
'I also learned so very much every single day working with the tremendous talent that is Jeremy Saulnier. And the script, which Jeremy also wrote, was undeniable for me. And that's not a word that I use lightly.'
