Ransom Canyon Season 2: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
The sweeping romance and rugged charm of Ransom Canyon have hooked Netflix viewers since the show galloped onto screens on April 17, 2025. Set in the heart of Texas Hill Country, this Western drama—starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly—blends family feuds, heartfelt love stories, and small-town secrets. With Season 1's cliffhangers leaving fans restless for more, chatter about Season 2 is buzzing. Here's the latest on release date rumors, cast updates, and what's next for the ranchers of Ransom Canyon. Ransom Canyon Season 2 Release Date Rumours
Without an official renewal, pinning down a release date is tricky, but we can piece together a likely timeline. Season 1 filmed from February to June 2024 and landed on Netflix in April 2025, a roughly 14-month turnaround. If Netflix greenlights Season 2 soon and production kicks off in mid-2025, we might see new episodes by late 2026 or early 2027. Outlets like TV Insider and Marie Claire have floated similar estimates, suggesting fans may need a bit of patience for the next ride. Cast Updates for Ransom Canyon Season 2
If Ransom Canyon saddles up for another season, expect most of the core cast to return, bringing their characters' tangled lives back to the forefront. Here's the lineup we're likely to see: Josh Duhamel as Staten Kirkland : The tough-as-nails rancher battling to save his Double K Ranch while wrestling with grief and new feelings.

Sadly, James Brolin's Cap Fuller likely won't return after his character's death in Season 1, though Blair hinted to Deadline that flashbacks could bring him back for emotional moments. What to Expect from Ransom Canyon Season 2
Season 1 ended with jaw-dropping twists, and Season 2 is poised to dive deeper into the drama. Here's what fans can look forward to: A Six-Month Time Jump
April Blair has confirmed that Season 2 will feature a six-month time jump, picking up after Quinn's decision to leave for New York to pursue her music career with the New York Philharmonic. This move puts her budding romance with Staten on hold, creating tension as Staten grapples with feelings of abandonment. Blair told Woman's World that Quinn will return 'changed by this experience,' suggesting personal growth and new challenges for her character. Staten and Quinn's Romance
The will-they-won't-they dynamic between Staten and Quinn is central to Ransom Canyon . While the book series sees them eventually marry and start a family, the Netflix adaptation has altered their relationship, emphasizing miscommunication and obstacles. Season 2 may explore whether Staten can 'win her back' after her time in New York, as hinted by Blair in TV Insider . Their chemistry remains a draw for fans, and their arc will likely continue to anchor the series. Yancy's Mysterious Wife
The shocking arrival of Yancy's wife in the Season 1 finale left viewers stunned. Blair teased to Deadline that this character will have a 'very fun' and 'juicy' backstory, diving deeper into Yancy's troubled past. In the books, Yancy's story involves a stint in prison and a fixation on a 'Gypsy House,' elements that could be adapted to flesh out his arc in Season 2. Land Disputes and New Conflicts
Staten's fight to protect his Double K Ranch from an energy company's pipeline plans will likely escalate. Season 2 may introduce a new pipeline representative to stir up conflict, as suggested by What's On Netflix . Additionally, Staten's discovery of the truth behind his son Randall's death—caused by Sheriff Brigman's wife, Margaret, in a drunk-driving accident—could lead to a push for justice, complicated by Margaret's connection to the sheriff. Young Love and Growth
The younger characters, like Lauren and Lucas, face uncertain futures. In the books, Lucas attends Texas Tech University, while the series has him choosing between elite colleges. Their romance, a key focus of the book series, may see breakups and reunions, with new love interests like Tim (from the books) potentially appearing. Reid's arc could explore his growing independence, as hinted by actor Andrew Liner in TechRadar .

‘KPop Demon Hunters' Tops the Billboard 100 With Huntr/x's ‘Golden'
KPop Demon Hunters has swiftly become one of the most delightful and empowering surprises of the year in animation. Now that the Netflix and Sony Animation-certified banger is taking over the world, it only makes sense for its catchy music to reach greater heights. Billboard just announced that 'Golden' from KPop Demon Hunters' hit soundtrack has reached #1 on the charts. The Huntr/x track for a while there was only slightly behind the Saja Boys' 'Your Idol' from the same soundtrack—but just like in the film, the kick-ass trio overcame the bad guys and surpassed them to hit the top of the charts. So yeah, that Honmoon? Sealed. As per Billboard, 'Golden' is the ninth song from the Korean pop genre to dominate the Hot 100. Additionally, it's also the most recent No. 1 performed by a fictional ensemble from a film, the last being Encanto's viral 'We Don't Talk About Bruno,' which enjoyed a five-week stint at the coveted spot in February and March 2022. And what's even cooler: this is the first all-women group to lead the charts since Destiny's Child in 2001. Huntr/x are those girls. Recently Stephen Kirk and Jenna Andrews, a songwriting duo that contributed to KPop Demon Hunters, talked to the Hollywood Reporter about the film's success: 'I certainly had no expectation. I was just like, I love K-pop, this sounds like a fire idea, let's just see where it goes. And then for it to come out, go number one on Netflix, and then [have] the soundtrack explode, it's just such a blessing,' shared Kirk. Andrews added, 'I mean, the truth is, most labels would [not be interested in] soundtracks. Because soundtracks just don't really stream, they don't really go; it's about the movie, and they go away, right?' she said. 'I think with this particular one, because it was K-pop, I think we both thought it probably will do something, but to this extent, no. Definitely not.' KPop Demon Hunters is now streaming on Netflix. Want more io9 news?

'Golden' from 'KPop Demon Hunters' hits No. 1 on Billboard, surpasses 3 billion streams
"Golden," the soundtrack from Netflix 's "KPop Demon Hunters" by the fictional K-pop girl group Huntr/x, has reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Performed by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, the track makes history as the first No. 1 Hot 100 hit by a female K-pop group, with nearly 32 million streams, 7,000 sales, and 8.4 million radio airplay impressions in the United States, according to Billboard. The track also continues to climb the charts for a seventh straight week, with over 3 billion global streams to date, "reclaiming #2 on the Billboard 200, and continuing to be the highest charting soundtrack of the year," according to a press release. This achievement also marks the first fictional act to top the chart since Encanto and the first female group to do so since Destiny's Child in 2001. The soundtrack also claims the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Soundtracks chart, dominating for a seventh week. The "KPop Demon Hunters" soundtrack continues to hold steady at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, recording its best week yet with 100,000 equivalent album units. The album, associated with the animated action-fantasy film of the same title, has grown in popularity each week since its release. Premiered on June 20, the action-packed film follows a world-renowned K-pop girl group balancing their lives in the spotlight with their secret identities as demon hunters. The film has become a global streaming sensation on Netflix, with 158.8 million views since its debut, ranking among the streamer's most popular titles ever. It's been in the Netflix Top 10 for seven weeks, according to Variety. Knowing how important the soundtrack would be, directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans collaborated with experienced K-pop producers. "Because we wanted the music to be really incredible and really speak to the K-pop fans and be legitimately fit into the K-pop space, we felt that it was important to partner with a Korean label," Kang said during a Netflix press interview, per BBC.
