What Has Netflix Shared About New Western Drama?
Ransom Canyon is the story of three ranches in this small Texas town. Staten Kirkland (Duhamel) owns the Double K Ranch. He loves his life and doesn’t want to change how things are done.
As for Kelly, she plays Quinn. She lived in the big city as a concert pianist, but retreated home when things got rough. Now, she owns a local dancehall and is a lavender farmer. Can she make her fresh start in Texas go the distance?
Brolin portrays Cap Fuller, owner of Fuller Ranch. He is an ex-Arm captain. However, the ranch has seen better days, and so has Cap. Described as a “salty old man,” Cap has never been the same since losing his only son in Afghanistan.
Davis (Macken) owns the Bar W Ranch. He is “intent on capitalizing on the invaluable aquifer runner below Ransom’s ranch land.” He and Stanton have always argued. But, the stakes went higher when Quinn returned to town.
