Netflix Cancels Ransom Canyon After Two Seasons

Netflix has canceled the Texas-set romantic drama Ransom Canyon after two seasons, according to a report published Thursday, roughly six weeks after the show's second season premiered on July 23, 2026. The streaming service has not publicly commented on the decision, and the cancellation has so far been reported by a single trade outlet, with other publications citing that report. The series, an adaptation of Jodi Thomas's novels, starred Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly as members of three competing ranching dynasties battling over land and power in a tight-knit Texas community. Billed as a blend of Yellowstone and Netflix's Virgin River, the show was greenlit in December 2023 after securing Duhamel and Kelly as leads. The cast also included Lizzy Greene, Garrett Wareing, Marianly Tejada, Jack Schumacher, Casey W. Johnson, Philip Winchester and Justin Johnson Cortez, with April Blair serving as creator, showrunner and executive producer. The cancellation followed a sharp decline in viewership for the second season. According to the report, which cited Netflix data, season two drew 4.1 million views in its first week, a 43 percent drop from the 7.
