Ransom Canyon Netflix Series Loses Two Main Cast Members Ahead Season 2

Netflix's hit series Ransom Canyon is returning for a second season, but two key actors, Eoin Macken and Andrew Liner, who portrayed father and son Davis and Reid Collins, will not return as series regulars. The show, based on Jodi Thomas' book series and set in Texas Hill Country, will continue production in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with new recurring guest stars Ben Robson and Heidi Engerman joining the cast. Season 1 focused on family drama, love triangles, and rivalry between ranching families, with Macken's character Davis competing with Josh Duhamel's Staten Kirkland for both land and romantic interest, and Liner's Reid involved in his own complicated relationships. The departure of these characters marks a shift away from the previously central love triangles, potentially changing the focus of the show’s narrative. Although the exact premiere date for Season 2 has not been announced, it is expected to air in late 2026 or early 2027. The series creator and showrunner have expressed enthusiasm about continuing to explore untold stories in the Ransom Canyon community despite these casting changes.
