Where can I watch the Ruth and Boaz movie?
Ruth & Boaz will be available for streaming on Netflix on September 26th, 2025.
What is the story of Boaz and Ruth?
Netflix
The film centers around the titular characters, Ruth and Boaz, who find love in the most unexpected of circumstances. Boaz is an attractive bachelor who is used to having women fall at his feet. But Ruth is too smart and savvy to fall for Boaz on the spot, and in her mind, Boaz must put in the hard work in order to earn her love and trust. Queen energy at its finest.
Rather than your typical “love at first sight” romance, Ruth & Boaz explores what happens when the slow burn takes full effect. Every stolen glance, accidental brushing of the fingertips, and sighs of longing become pinnacle to the progression of their romance. It’s a beautiful, old-fashioned love story placed in modern-day Tennessee.
And with the perfect dose of Western romance (plus a woman pursuing her dreams), this is for anyone missing Ransom Canyon.
