Netflix’s Ransom Canyon creator and showrunner April Blair promises that while season two still focuses on “land, love, and legacy,” the new season will be a little more fun. Series star Josh Duhamel echoed that sentiment, telling Netflix’s Tudum, “My character isn’t as sullen as he was last year.” He added, “He’s much more out of his shell. He has fun.”
Season two, which just dropped an official trailer, will premiere on July 23, 2026.
In addition to Duhamel, the new season stars Minka Kelly, Lizzy Greene, Garrett Wareing, Jack Schumacher, Marianly Tejada, and Casey W. Johnson. Guest stars include Patricia Clarkson, Ben Robson, Brett Cullen, Heidi Engerman, Philip Winchester, Steve Howey, Tatanka Means, Justin Johnson Cortez, and Jennifer Ens.
Netflix’s synopsis reads: “A heartfelt drama set against the sweeping vistas of Texas Hill Country, Ransom Canyon follows the intersecting lives of deep-rooted families in a town where your neighbors know everyone’s business.
Season two picks up six months after the events of the first season, with rancher Staten Kirkland (Duhamel) fighting to reclaim his legacy after being unseated as trustee of his family’s Double K Ranch, while musician Quinn O’Grady (Kelly) must decide if her heart truly belongs in the small town she once tried to outrun or in the fast-paced world of New York City. Are they star-crossed lovers or fated to be together? In Ransom Canyon, true love stories are messy, complicated, and always worth the wait.”
April Blair executive produces along with Josh Duhamel, Minka Kelly, Dan Angel, Bradley Gardner, and Joe Fazzio.
