Ransom Canyon Season 2 will stream on Netflix starting July 23, TVLine has learned. Set in Texas Hill Country, the series continues with Staten Kirkland, played by Josh Duhamel, unseated as trustee of the Double K Ranch and battling to restore his legacy. Meanwhile, Minka Kelly's Quinn O'Grady returns from New York with a new mission, as showrunner April Blair explained to TVLine: “Quinn has spent a lot of her past trying to save other people, and she comes back changed by this experience.
