What Will Happen in Ransom Canyon Season 2?
A romantic drama at its core, Ransom Canyon is set in a small community where long-held secrets are always on the brink of coming to the surface. The action revolves around three ranching families and their intertwined lives.
At the centre of the action, we have strong-willed rancher Staten Kirkland and independent-minded Quinn O’Grady, who runs the local dance hall. The two have great chemistry, and their relationship is likely to keep viewers coming back for more.
On top of that, Staten struggles to protect his land, a mysterious cowboy drifts into town, and a past tragedy is still present.
At the end of season 1, Staten finally gets answers about his son’s death, while Quinn tells him she has to go to New York for a few months. Ransom Canyon season 2 might feature a time jump, which would allow the characters to regroup.
Additionally, we got a reveal about the mysterious cowboy that is sure to affect the plot moving forward. We’ll have to wait and see.
