Will There Be a Ransom Canyon Season 2?

After binging Netflix’s latest soapy drama, we all want to know: Will there be a Ransom Canyon season 2?

What do you get when you cross the romance of Virgin River with the Western cowboy drama of Yellowstone? Ransom Canyon, Netflix’s latest hit which has been steadily making it’s way up Netflix’s top ten TV shows ranking since its April 17 release. The ten-episode first season, starring Minka Kelly and Josh Duhamel, followed the push-and-pull struggles of rival ranching families in the titular Texas town, and has viewers clamoring for more. Here’s where things stand on a potential renewal…

Will there be a Ransom Canyon season 2?

It looks highly likely. Showrunner and series creator April Blair talked to Deadline a few days after the first season dropped on Netflix, and seemed pretty confident about the chances, candidly mentioning character arcs that would continue into a second season, only sometimes adding the caveat that these ideas were just “potential.” She even said that she and the writers are already “in the room” for a second season, which means Netflix has put at least some money into the idea, even if they haven’t gotten the green light to actually film more episodes.

What is Ransom Canyon about?

With a sprawling cast and interconnected storylines, the series is broadly a small town drama about grief, loss, power and love. But most of the buzz centers on the will they/won’t they romance of Staten (Josh Duhamel) and Quinn (Minka Kelly), the latter of whom is agonizing over whether or not to leave Texas behind to pursue her musical dreams in New York.

For her part, Kelly has already hinted that she hopes for a renewal. “Whatever happens with this show, I had the time of my life with some of the best people I’ve ever had the privilege to know and to work with. I love this Ransom family forever and then some. I’m eternally grateful that I got to be a part of it,” she wrote on Instagram.

Where can I watch Ransom Canyon?
