If you fell in love with Ransom Canyon on Netflix, you’re not alone — and we’ve got good news. While Netflix hasn’t officially renewed the breakout hit for Season 2 just yet, the wheels are already turning behind the scenes… literally.
From cast updates to behind-the-scenes buzz, here’s everything we know so far about the next chapter of this steamy Texas drama.
🌄 What Is Ransom Canyon?
Think Yellowstone meets Virgin River. Based on the bestselling novels by Jodi Thomas, Ransom Canyon is a sweeping modern Western drama that follows the intersecting lives and romances of three ranching families in Texas Hill Country.
At the center is rugged rancher Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel) and his longtime friend Quinn O’Grady (Minka Kelly), a former concert pianist who returns home after a devastating career setback. Old wounds resurface, sparks fly, and secrets bubble beneath the surface.
Add in corporate greed, family betrayal, and a whole lot of romantic tension, and you’ve got Netflix’s next obsession.
📝 Is Season 2 Happening?
Officially? Not yet. But unofficially? All signs point to yes.
Josh Duhamel recently told the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast:
“I feel like it’s gonna happen… People want to see how many are actually watching and completing it.”
Meanwhile, showrunner April Blair confirmed to Deadline that the writers’ room is already hard at work, developing new storylines for Season 2.
🔥 What Could Happen in Season 2?
According to Blair, fans can expect a time jump of around six months. That makes sense: Season 1 ended with Quinn heading to New York for a temporary piano gig, leaving her romance with Staten up in the air — and the town drama far from resolved.
Expect to see fallout from:
-
Quinn’s absence and how it affects the ranch
-
The punch Staten throws at Davis
-
Davis and Senator Kirkland’s shady plot to take over the land
And yes, the love triangle is far from over.
📚 Following the Books?
Ransom Canyon is based on Jodi Thomas’ popular novels, and fans of the books know there’s plenty of rich material ahead. While the show has already made some creative departures, there’s a roadmap for future twists — including new romances, betrayals, and family revelations.
🎥 Who’s in the Cast?

📺 Where to Watch
Season 1 of Ransom Canyon is now streaming on Netflix. If you haven’t watched yet (or want to rewatch), now’s the perfect time to dive in.
⏳ When Will Season 2 Arrive?
No release date yet, but with writers already working and fan demand high, a late 2026 premiere seems likely if Netflix gives the green light soon.
