Is there any possibility of a Ransom Canyon season 2? Details explored

There is speculation about whether Ransom Canyon season 2 is in the works after season 1 premiered on April 17, 2025, on Netflix. Ransom Canyon is a western drama created by April Blair. The show is based on Jodi Thomas' series of romance novels. Although there are elements of generational family feuds and horseback riding, the show centers on romance.

Since the show is based on a series of books, eight in total, there is a lot of material that season 1 hasn't covered. As to whether Ransom Canyon Season 2 has been confirmed, no, the show hasn't officially been renewed for a second season yet.

However, in an interview with the New York Post on April 15, 2025, Blair expressed a desire to continue the show.

“We’d want to stick with them,” she stated, referencing the leads of the show, Duhamel and Kelly.

Blair has also worked on other projects like Wednesday, All American, and Hart of Dixie.

The main cast of the show includes Josh Duhamel as Staten Kirkland, Minka Kelly as Quinn O'Grady, Lizzy Greene as Lauren Brigman, Andrew Liner as Reid Collins, and Eoin Macken as Davis Collins.

Cast and crew on a potential Ransom Canyon season 2

In the interview, Blair also spoke about her inspiration for the show.

“The whole idea of a multigenerational soap — ‘Yellowstone’ is obviously an inspiration, but one of the bigger inspirations for me is actually ‘Friday Night Lights,’” she explained.

She continued by talking about the direction she'd like to take on Ransom Canyon season 2 if it gets renewed.

“Like how ‘Bridgerton’ does it, each book tackles a new set of characters… And for TV, I love the characters we have,” she explained.

In another interview with Tech Radar on April 12, 2025, actor Andrew Liner opened up about his thoughts on Ransom Canyon Season 2. He hopes that the story will continue for a second season, stating:

“We don't know yet, but I sure hope so”.

“Once you see the finale, you'll see that there's more story to tell. And I think with my character in particular, you're going to want to see what he does after his actions – the repercussions, if you will," he added.

What is Ransom Canyon season 1 about?

The storyline follows three rival ranching families living in Texas Hill Country battling for control over land while external forces work against them.

At the centre of the story is Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel), who is recovering from the loss of his family and owner of the local dancehall, Quinn O'Grady (Minka Kelly). The two are former classmates and best friends, but could never be together.

As Staten fights to keep his ranch alive and defend his family's heritage, Quinn grapples with her demons and a desire for something more.

New romances are born and old rivalries are fueled among the next generation, threatening to spark a full-blown feud.

Greedy developers, political maneuvering, and natural disasters further threaten the land they all hold dear. Loyalties are tested, secrets are revealed, and sacrifices are made.

Against the dramatic backdrop of breathtaking scenery and harsh realities, the show is a tale of resilience, love, and the abiding call of home, which makes fans hope for Ransom Canyon season 2.
