Today, Netflix released the official trailer and key art for the new modern Western drama, Ransom Canyon. Starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, the new series will debut on April 17.

Welcome to Ransom Canyon, where love, loss, and loyalty collide beneath the crimson mesas of Texas Hill Country. With three ranching family dynasties locked in a contest for control of the land, their lives and legacies are threatened by outside forces intent on destroying their way of life.

At the center of it all is stoic rancher Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel), who is healing from a heartbreaking loss and on a quest for vengeance. Staten’s only glimmer of hope rests in the eyes and heart of Quinn O’Grady (Minka Kelly), longtime family friend and owner of the local dancehall.

But as the battle to save Ransom wages on, a mysterious cowboy drifts into town, dredging up secrets from the past.

Updated, March 27, 2025: A new trailer, set to “Texas Sun” by Khruangbin and Leon Bridges, has arrived for Netflix’s latest Wester TV series Ransom Canyon, based on the book by Jodi Thomas.

“In Ransom Canyon,” Josh Duhamel’s voice says over shots of ranchers riding horses, the main thoroughfare of the small Texas town, high school football games and more. “Everyone’s running from something, or running to something.”

Duhamel stars as Staten Kirkland, one of the main ranchers in the titular town, who is part of a large ensemble of the new Netflix show, out April 17.

“What’s up with that guy anyway?” Jack Schumacher’s Yancy Grey, who can be seen later on in the trailer risking it all for a rodeo ride, asks Cap Fuller (James Brolin) about the stoic Staten.

“He lost everything,” Brolin replies over a montage of a car wreck and police sirens.

Move over Paramount, Netflix is coming for your audience of Western fans. The biggest streaming platform is trying to capture the spark that Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone, Landman, and other series have ignited by creating their own Western franchises. The year began with American Primeval, an epic Western thriller about the Utah Massacre, and while it wasn't critically acclaimed (though MovieWeb loved it), it was certainly popular. Now comes Ransom Canyon, which cynics may call a Yellowstone rip-off, but which seems poised to certainly attract a strong audience. The synopsis reads as follows:

"Created, written, and executive produced by April Blair, Ransom Canyon is a romance-fueled family drama and contemporary Western saga that charts the intersecting lives of three ranching families, all set against the rugged expanse of Texas Hill Country."

“At its core, Ransom Canyon isn’t just a town. It’s an idea. It’s the painful longing for your first love.

Ransom Canyon has a premiere date. The western drama will premiere in April, and Netflix has released first-look photos and a teaser for the new series, which is inspired by the Jodi Thomas novel.

Josh Duhamel, Minka Kelly, James Brolin, Eoin Macken, Lizzy Greene, Andrew Liner, Marianly Tejada, Garrett Wareing, and Jack Schumacher star in the series created by April Blair. The series’ recurring cast includes Kate Burton, Casey W. Johnson, Jennifer Ens, Brett Cullen, Jaren Robledo, Niko Guardado, Justin Johnson Cortez, Tatanka Means, and Kenneth Miller, with Philip Winchester and Meta Golding guest starring.

Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly are starring in the first look teaser for their upcoming new series Ransom Canyon!

The actors lead the cast of the upcoming modern western drama coming to Netflix later this year.

“At its core, Ransom Canyon isn’t just a town. It’s an idea. It’s the painful longing for your first love. It’s the burning desire to protect your family. It’s cowboys and lovers, grifters and thieves. Lust, deceit, heartache, home…Ransom has it all. I think people are going to fall in love with this little slice of Texas and the dramas and romances that we created there,” showrunner April Blair describes the series to Tudum.

The Scream Backstory

#Amfad: All My Friends Are Dead...

Warning: Minor spoilers for #Amfad: All My Friends Are Dead

#Amfad is a meta-horror film with social media twists and an unexpected conclusion. The movie explores classic themes through a Gen Z lens while paying homage to the films that came before. The Seven Deadly Sins Killer has a unique backstory, and both director Marcus Dunstan and star Jade Pettyjohn are ready to explore the possibility of a sequel.

#Amfad: All My Friends Are Dead is now in theaters after premiering at Tribeca Film Festival, and the horror movie is a fun, meta look at the genre from director Marcus Dunstan (who is returning to the Saw franchise for Saw XI) and screenwriters Josh Sims and Jessica Sarah Flaum. While it begins with the familiar premise of friends on a road trip heading to a remote location only to find themselves picked off one by one, the film steps out...

Karma’s a bitch… and she loves a genre flick.

M. Night Shyamalan just put the spotlight back on viral terror with “Trap,” an escape room horror about a killer attempting to outmaneuver the cops at a concert packed with iPhones. In fewer theaters this weekend (but streaming too!) is director Marcus Dunstan’s “#Amfad: All My Friends Are Dead.” That’s another internet horror movie featuring a major pop music event — only here the murderer and their victims never make it inside the venue.

Starring ex-Nickelodeon favorite Jade Pettyjohn and none other than JoJo Siwa herself, “#Amfad” sees its masked villain ensnare a van full of wannabe internet celebs in a “Seven”-esque killing spree at a remote Airbnb. Both former kid-stars-turned-social-media-heavyweights, Pettyjohn and Siwa worked together years ago when the “Dance Moms” legend guest-starred with series regular Pettyjohn on “School of Rock.”

For Stephen King’s short story fans, the American TV series adaptation known as “Chapelwaite” has been a welcome reinvention of King’s short story entitled “Jerusalem’s Lot.” Even viewers who might never have read King but enjoy horror have flocked to the first season of the eerie tale of Captain Charles Boone, played by Adrien Brody.

Since its premiere on August 22, 2021, “Chapelwaite’s” depiction of the Boone family and its creepy tribulations in Preacher’s Corners, Maine has been a popular destination for any type of mature viewers who enjoy a bit of dark suspense and a strong storyline.

Writers Peter and Jason Filardi have recently enjoyed an official renewal of the miniseries for a second season and the “Chapelwaite” fanbase continues to expand. This article will provide details into the main cast of “Chapelwaite” characters and offer insights into the careers of the actors who play those intriguingly complex characters.

TV show description:      

A horror series, the Chapelwaite TV show is based on the short story Jerusalem's Lot by Stephen King.

Set in the 1850s, the series follows Captain Charles Boone (Brody), the father of three children -- Honor (Ens), Loa (Gulamgaus), and Tane (Ho). After his wife dies at sea, Boone relocates his family to his ancestral home of Chapelwaite in the small, seemingly sleepy town of Preacher's Corners, Maine. It's not long before Boone has to confront the secrets of his family's sordid history and fight to end the darkness that...

2021 hasn’t exactly been the year of great Stephen King adaptations on the small screen. “Lisey’s Story” wasn’t the cerebral thriller it should have been. And the newest attempt at “The Stand” was a major dud almost from its onset. But, as they say, the third time’s a charm with “Chapelwaite,” a pitch-black horror set in 1850s Maine, where vampires rule the looming eternal night.

Like many great “Nosferatu”-lite narratives, “Chapelwaite,” based upon King’s “Jerusalem’s Lot,” isn’t merely fixated on the bloodthirsty undead stalking the innocent humans trembling in their candlelit homes; it explores our relationship with death, grief, family and what it means to have eternal life. It begins at Chapelwaite manor, where in 1817 a petrified young boy named Charles Boone unsuccessfully attempts to escape his rabid, shovel-wielding father (Sebastien Labelle), who’s dug a grave in his name right outside their home.

The titular Chapelwaite mansion does not exactly look like “Home, Sweet Home” in this exclusive sneak peek from Epix‘s adaptation of Stephen King’s 1978 short story “Jerusalem’s Lot.”

Set in the 1850s, Chapelwaite follows Captain Charles Boone (played by Academy Award winner Adrien Brody), who relocates his family of three children — Honor (Jennifer Ens), Loa (Transplant‘s Sirena Gulamgaus) and Tane (Ian Ho) — to an ancestral home in the seemingly sleepy town of Preacher’s Corners, Maine after his wife dies at sea.
