Netflix axes Yellowstone rival Ransom Canyon after ratings plummet

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleNetflix has cancelled the neo-Western romance series Ransom Canyon after two seasons, just a few months after its second season premiered on 23 July. Billed as Netflix's answer to Yellowstone and Virgin River, the Texas-set drama starred Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly as members of three competing ranching dynasties fighting over land and power. The decision to end the show follows a sharp decline in ratings, with season two drawing 4.1 million views in its first week, representing a 43 per cent drop compared to season one's opening week. The drama struggled to impress critics from the outset, facing heavy criticism for its dialogue and storyline, with reviewers dismissing it as an unconvincing copycat of successful cowboy dramas. Before the cancellation, lead actress Minka Kelly highlighted Netflix's willingness to address gender pay disparity after she successfully negotiated a significant salary increase to narrow the earnings gap with co-star Josh Duhamel.
