Starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, Ransom Canyon immediately drew comparisons to Kevin Costner’s Yellowstone, as many contemporary Western TV shows often do. However, while Yellowstone is based more on drama, Ransom Canyon delves deeper into romance. The show is set in a small Texas town, where three interwoven ranching dynasties fight for their land, legacies, and the people they love. The series debuted with a Rotten 45% from critics on the aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, but it earned a solid 73% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter. It’s based on the novel by Jodi Thomas and written and created for television by April Blair.
However, the road to production for Ransom Canyon Season 2 hasn’t been completely smooth. Just last week, it was reported that series regulars Eoin Macken and Andrew Liner will not reprise their roles as David and Reid Collins in Season 2. It’s unclear at this time if this is due to scheduling conflicts or if they were not brought back for creative reasons. Ben Robson and Heidi Engerman have joined the Season 2 cast as different characters.
