Saddle up for Ransom Canyon, Netflix’s highly anticipated romantic western drama, premiering April 17, 2025. Based on the beloved book series by Jodi Thomas, this series brings together love, betrayal, and family feuds set against the breathtaking backdrop of Texas Hill Country.

The Story: A Fight for the Land—and for Love

Welcome to Ransom Canyon, a land shaped by three powerful ranching dynasties, each fighting to protect their legacy. As rivalries heat up, threats from outsiders and long-buried secrets begin to surface, putting everything at risk.

At the heart of the story is Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel), a tough and brooding rancher struggling with grief and vengeance. While he’s determined to protect his land, his heart still finds hope in Quinn O’Grady (Minka Kelly), a longtime family friend and owner of the local dancehall.

But just when Staten starts to believe in love again, a mysterious cowboy arrives in town, stirring up secrets from the past that could change everything. As tensions rise and battles rage, Staten must decide what matters most—revenge or the future of Ransom Canyon.
