The first season of Ransom Canyon ended with a bunch of cliffhangers. So naturally, those who have already finished are dying for a renewal. While there's been no official announcement, showrunner April Blair told TV Insider that they have "already started the writers’ room, even though the show hasn’t been picked up to series yet for Season 2."
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.
Along with Duhamel and Kelly, the cast includes James Brolin, Eoin Macken, Lizzy Greene, Garrett Wareing, Andrew Liner, Jack Schumacher, Marianly Tejada, and Philip Winchester.
Blair shared with Tudum, "My favorite feeling is when a show ends, and you don’t want it to end, and you just want more. It makes you feel warm and familiar, and you don’t want to let go. That is how I hope people feel. It’s how I feel about the show watching it."
The show is based on a ten-book series by Jodi Thomas, which means there is plenty of story left to tell for future seasons. "We only used the first book, and it’s really the foundation of the series, a very important one, and we have retained, a lot of easter eggs for fans of the book series, but we definitely made it our own," she explained to Deadline. "In Jodi’s series, each novel introduces a whole new cast of characters. It’s almost kind of anthology like, and some characters reappear from time to time, but it really is like a whole new group of people. That wasn’t really an achievable thing for us in series. We wanted to stick with one cast, so we stuck to the single book as this jumping off point."
Ransom Canyon is now streaming on Netflix.
