Netflix has greenlit a second season for the modern Western series Ransom Canyon, about three rival ranching families in Texas Hill Country.
Josh Duhamel will returns as stoic rancher Staten Kirkland, with Minka Kelly as Quinn O’Grady. “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,” a logline from the series producers states.
The rookie romantic drama, coming the wake of the success of Paramount+’s Yellowstone, made it to the global top 10 TV (English) list for Netflix and reached Top 10 TV in 77 countries.
“I couldn’t be happier that Netflix is ready to get back in the saddle for Ransom Canyon! Our dreamy little corner of Texas Hill Country is full of stories still untold, and we can’t wait to bring them to our incredible fans. Get ready for another ride,” showrunner, creator and executive producer April Blair said in a statement.
Ransom Canyon is based on author Jodi Thomas’ book series that debuted in 2015 and is adapted by Blair (All American). Production for the second season of Ransom Canyon will return to the Netflix Studios Albuquerque in New Mexico.
The production will again make use of onsite solar power, geothermal heating and cooling and other tools in sun-lit New Mexico to reduce the series’ carbon footprint and lower operating costs.
The executive producer credits are also shared by Dan Angel and Duhamel. The ensemble cast for the second season includes James Brolin, Eoin Macken, Lizzy Greene, Andrew Liner, Garrett Wareing, Jack Schumacher and Marianly Tejada.
