Ransom Canyon fans have been calling for a second season of the smash Netflix hit since practically the moment Season 1 first dropped, and in a new interview, series star Josh Duhamel teases fans with a hopeful update about Season 2.
During an interview with the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, host Amanda Hirsch asked Duhamel directly whether he’s had confirmation about Ransom Canyon Season 2 yet, and his answer should make fans happy.
Will There Be a Season 2 of Ransom Canyon?
Netflix has not announced a decision on a Ransom Canyon Season 2. However, Duhamel was optimistic in his answer, saying, “I don’t know. I feel like it’s gonna happen.”
When Hirsch pointed out the show’s strong ratings performance, he replied, “It’s been doing well, but you know, it’s about completion. People, they wanna see how many people are actually watching it and completing it.”
Duhamel’s comments echo what he said in a previous interview with Town & Country, where he expressed strong ideas about possible storylines for Season 2.
“I want it to feel unpredictable, raw, real, and interesting,” he said.
“I don’t know what they have planned,” Duhamel added. “They’ve been in the writer’s room now for a bit, so we’ll see.”
Ransom Canyon creator and showrunner April Blair has also weighed in on the possibility of a Season 2, telling Deadline that her team is already “in the room” working on a new season of the show.
