Netflix renews ‘Ransom Canyon’ for season 2

Netflix has officially renewed the drama series Ransom Canyon for a second season. The announcement came on Tuesday via the streaming platform’s social media channels, just about two months after all 10 episodes of Season 1 premiered on April 17. 

The show, inspired by Jodi Thomas’ book series of the same name, has clearly struck a chord with viewers.

Set against the striking backdrop of Texas Hill Country’s crimson mesas, Ransom Canyon explores the tangled lives of three ranching dynasties fighting to protect their land and legacies. 

According to the official series description, “Welcome to Ransom Canyon, where love, loss, and loyalty collide beneath the crimson mesas of Texas Hill Country. With three ranching family dynasties locked in a contest for control of the land, their lives and legacies are threatened by outside forces intent on destroying their way of life. 

At the center of it all is stoic rancher Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel), who is healing from heartbreaking loss and on a quest for vengeance. Staten’s only glimmer of hope rests in the eyes and heart of Quinn O’Grady (Minka Kelly), longtime family friend and owner of the local dancehall. 

But as the battle to save Ransom wages on, a mysterious cowboy drifts into town, dredging up secrets from the past. Vise tightening, Staten fights to protect the land he calls home, and the only love that can pull him back from the demons that haunt him.”

The series stars Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly in the lead roles, alongside a talented ensemble that includes James Brolin, Eoin Macken, Lizzy Greene, Garrett Wareing, Andrew Liner, Marianly Tejada, Jack Schumacher, and Philip Winchester.

With its renewal, fans can look forward to another chapter of high-stakes drama, family loyalty, and the rugged beauty of Ransom Canyon.
