Two Major Exits Are Shaking Up Ransom Canyon Season 2 Here’s What We Know So Far md13

Ransom Canyon has lost two of its series regular cast members, who will not return for season 2. The romantic western series, based on the novels by Jodi Thomas, debuted on Netflix on April 17, 2025, and in June, Ransom Canyon season 2 was renewed. The show has received mixed reviews from critics, but has proven popular on streaming.

Per Deadline, season 1 regular cast members Eoin Macken and Andrew Liner are not due to return for Ransom Canyon season 2. The pair played the roles of father-son duo Davis and Reid Collins throughout season 1 of the show, but they will not reprise their roles in the upcoming season. An official reason for their series exit has not been provided yet.

What This Means For Ransom Canyon Season 2

With the reigniting of a generations-long feud set to shape the course of the season, it’s unclear whether Davis and Reid Collins simply don’t factor into this story, meaning there was no narrative reason to bring them back, or if there are other reasons why Macken and Liner are not returning for season 2.

Whatever the reason, it is clear that these are two actors of enormous quality, and their presence will be missed in Ransom Canyon season 2. While the story might pass them by, there is a good chance that they will be replaced by prominent new characters or existing actors being bumped up to series regulars.

Our Take On Ransom Canyon Season 2’s Departures

There could be other cast changes to come for Ransom Canyon for season 2, or some who might have reduced roles this time around. The nature of successful shows is that they need to refresh each season, and this often means either refreshing or expanding the cast list, and this could well be what has happened here in the case of Ransom Canyon.

After Ransom Canyon season 1’s finale, and the Yancy and Randall reveals, it will be interesting to see how season 2 looks to expand the show’s narrative and make the cast list even more dynamic. There’s no doubt that Davis and Reid Collins were great characters, but there Ransom Canyon can likely survive without them.
