Josh Duhamel (Love, Simon) and Minka Kelly (Euphoria) are confirmed to star in Ransom Canyon, a new family drama just ordered to series by Netflix. Ransom Canyon comes from writer and executive producer April Blair (Wednesday), and Amanda Marsalis (Umbrella Academy) is on board to direct the first two episodes.
Netflix’s announcement states the first season will have 10 one-hour episodes. The streaming service did not announce a target premiere date.
Netflix released this synopsis of Ransom Canyon along with descriptions of Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly’s characters:
“Ransom Canyon is a romance-fueled family drama and contemporary western saga that charts the intersecting lives of three ranching families, all set against the rugged expanse of Texas Hill Country.”
- Josh Duhamel (The Lost Husband, Transformers) will play Staten Kirkland, owner and sole occupant of the sprawling Double K Ranch. Steadfast and stoic, Staten leads the charge to resist outside forces threatening his way of life and the land that he loves.
- Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights) will play Quinn. Quinn has often found herself in the shadow of others, but after a stint in New York pursuing her career as a concert pianist, she has returned to Ransom Canyon to carve out a new path for herself.
