Ransom Canyon Season 2: Release Date, Cast, and How to Watch on Netflix
Ransom Canyon season 2 drops all eight episodes on Netflix July 23. Here is the release time, who is back, who is gone, and where the neo-Western picks up.
Netflix’s sweeping neo-Western is back. Ransom Canyon season 2 returns July 23 with all eight episodes at once, picking up six months after the first season’s fallout. Here is exactly when it drops, who is returning, and what to expect.
The quick answer
- Streaming on: Netflix, with all 8 episodes on Thursday, July 23
- Release time: Netflix originals go live at 12:00 a.m. PT (3:00 a.m. ET) on release day
- Starring: Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, with Patricia Clarkson joining the cast
- Binge or pace: the full season is up on day one, no weekly wait
- Catch up first: season 1 is also on Netflix
Where and when to watch
Ransom Canyon season 2 is a Netflix exclusive. All eight episodes stream at once starting July 23, going live at midnight Pacific like other Netflix originals, so West Coast viewers can start right after midnight and East Coast viewers at 3 a.m. ET. Any Netflix plan works, and season 1 sits in the same place for a catch-up binge.
Who is back, who is gone
Returning cast includes Josh Duhamel (Staten Kirkland), Minka Kelly (Quinn O’Grady), Lizzy Greene, Garrett Wareing, Jack Schumacher, Marianly Tejada, and Casey W. Johnson. Patricia Clarkson joins the season, alongside additions including Ben Robson, Tatanka Means, and Brett Cullen.
Two familiar faces will not return: Eoin Macken and Andrew Liner, who played Davis Collins and his son Reid, are not part of season 2.
Where the story picks up
Season 2 opens roughly six months after the events of season 1. Rancher Staten fights to reclaim his legacy after being unseated as trustee of his family’s Double K Ranch, while musician Quinn weighs whether her heart belongs in the small town she once tried to leave or in the fast-paced pull of New York City. The neo-Western keeps its mix of family power struggles, romance, and Texas-ranch drama.
Why it is trending now
The first season became a quiet hit in Netflix’s Taylor Sheridan-adjacent Western lane, and season 2 arriving faster than many expected has pushed it up the anticipation charts. If it has been surfacing in your recommendations, the July 23 drop is why.
Bottom line
Open Netflix on July 23 and search “Ransom Canyon.” All eight episodes of season 2 are there from midnight PT, exclusive to Netflix, with Duhamel and Kelly back and Patricia Clarkson new to the ranch.
