Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly are set to star in the upcoming Netflix series Ransom Canyon, a romantic drama based on Robyn Carr’s novels. The show, which spans 10 episodes, offers a compelling story set against the backdrop of the Texas Hill Country, where love, loss, and loyalty intersect in the lives of ranching families.
The first look, released on February 13, introduces viewers to the breathtaking scenery of the countryside and the tangled lives of the characters. The official logline reads: “Welcome to Ransom Canyon, where love, loss, and loyalty collide beneath the crimson mesas of Texas Hill Country. With three ranching family dynasties locked in a contest for control of the land, their lives and legacies are threatened by outside forces intent on destroying their way of life.”
At the heart of the show is Staten Kirkland (Duhamel), a stoic rancher reeling from a heartbreaking loss and driven by a quest for vengeance. His only hope lies in Quinn O’Grady (Kelly), a longtime family friend and the owner of the local dancehall. However, their relationship is complicated by the ongoing battle over the land, as well as the arrival of a mysterious cowboy who brings secrets from the past to the forefront. As tensions rise, Staten must fight to protect both the land and the love that might save him from his demons.
Joining Duhamel and Kelly are a talented cast that includes James Brolin, Eoin Macken, Lizzy Greene, Garrett Wareing, Jack Schumacher, Marianly Tejada, Andrew Liner, and Philip Winchester.
The series is set to premiere on April 17 on Netflix, and with its mix of romance, drama, and high stakes, Ransom Canyon promises to be a must-watch.
