Love, loss, and loyalty will collide beneath the crimson mesas of Texas Hill Country in Netflix’s new show “Ransom Canyon.”

The streaming platform’s upcoming Western drama, set in Texas, follows “three ranching family dynasties locked in a contest for control of the land, their lives and legacies,” which are “threatened by outside forces intent on destroying their way of life,” Netflix says about the upcoming series.

“As the battle to save Ransom wages on, a mysterious cowboy drifts into town, dredging up secrets from the past,” Netflix adds. “Vise tightening, Staten (Josh Duhamel) fights to protect the land he calls home, and the only love that can pull him back from the demons that haunt him.”
