Netflix's 'Ransom Canyon', premiering April 17, aspires to capture the essence of 'Yellowstone' with the charm of 'Bridgerton'. Showrunner April Blair highlights Taylor Sheridan's influence in reinventing Western dramas, which carries into this series inspired by romance novels. The narrative revolves around Staten Kirkland, a rancher grappling with loss, and his love triangle with Quinn, the local dancehall owner, and rival Davis Collins. The series aims to offer a captivating, romantic experience for viewers, making it suitable for family viewing while showcasing Josh Duhamel in a more intense role.
"Taylor Sheridan is like this once in a generation writer that redefined contemporary westerns and this Americana aesthetic. He reinvigorated that kind of world," showrunner April Blair told The Post.
"I wanted to do something like that - for a contemporary [story]."
"I always wanted to do something that was like a neo Western, but also something soapy and romantic... what we're hoping for is something that couples and families can sit down and dig into, together."
"He's maturing and graying, but still just as handsome as ever. He's always done romances and comedies, and this is him leaning into something that's a little more painful and tortured, and the cowboy vibes."
