What is Ransom Canyon about?

The series is a "romance-fueled family drama" that follows three families living in Texas Hill Country. Speaking about the show, creator April Blair explained: "At its core, Ransom Canyon isn’t just a town. It’s an idea. It’s the painful longing for your first love. It’s the burning desire to protect your family.

"It’s cowboys and lovers, grifters and thieves. Lust, deceit, heartache, home… Ransom has it all. I think people are going to fall in love with this little slice of Texas and the dramas and romances that we created there."

Who is in the cast?

Josh stars as the stoic Staten Kirkland, who owns the Double K Ranch. He is key to resisting those threatening his way of life and his land. Minka plays Quinn, who has recently returned to Ransom Canyon after a career in NYC as a concert pianist.

James stars as Cap, an ex-Army captain who owns a ranch that has fallen into disrepair. Reluctant to sell, he hires a new foreman and relies on the daughter of a fellow officer, Ellie, who checks in on him. La Brea star Eoin Macken plays modern Bar W Ranch owner Davis Collins, and both he and Staten "fall hard" for Quinn.
