The series stars Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly in lead roles
Earlier, we reported that Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly were set to lead Netflix’s upcoming original drama series Ransom Canyon. Now, the already star-powered cast is getting even stronger with the addition of three new faces: James Brolin, Lizzy Greene, and Eoin Macken. These new additions bring both veteran presence and fresh energy to what’s shaping up to be one of Netflix’s most anticipated new series.
Set against the sweeping landscape of Texas Hill Country, Ransom Canyon is described by Netflix as a “romance-fueled family drama and contemporary western saga.” The story explores the intersecting lives of three ranching families, weaving together themes of love, legacy, and loyalty across generations. With its mix of high-stakes emotion and rugged Americana, the series promises a unique blend of intimacy and epic scale.
Based on the beloved novels by bestselling author Jodi Thomas, Ransom Canyon is created, written, and executive produced by April Blair (Gossip Girl, All American). The first season will feature 10 one-hour episodes, with the first two set to be directed by Amanda Marsalis (Ozark, Umbrella Academy). With its rich storytelling roots and impressive creative team, expectations for the show are already running high.
As of now, Netflix has yet to announce an official release date, but with casting now rounding out, production appears to be moving full speed ahead. Whether you’re a fan of sweeping western dramas, multi-generational storytelling, or simply love a strong ensemble cast, Ransom Canyon is one to keep on your radar.
