Netflix is getting on the contemporary Western drama bandwagon with their new series, Ransom Canyon.
It's already being described as Yellowstone meets Virgin River, and judging by the show's first trailer, that's not an inaccurate assessment.
The first season will stick to the storyline of Thomas' first book, as Staten Kirkland (Duhamel) fervently defends his Double K Ranch from the powers who threaten his way of life.
Meanwhile, Quinn O'Grady (Kelly) is returning to West Texas looking to start a new chapter after a stint in New York City as a concert pianist.
Per IMDB, Ransom Canyon is a scripted series that follows the "intersecting lives and loves of three ranching families set against the sweeping tundras and rolling rivers of Texas Hill Country."
Like Yellowstone, there will be drama between generations of family members, but the contemporary Western promises to bring the audience more romance.
"It's a contemporary Western romance show, just looking for more in this comfort romance space," Netflix' Head of Drama and Development, Jinny Howe, explained Deadline in 2022.
"We think that it's going to deliver on all the romance and again it will be a really beautiful vista and setting, very escapist."
While many fans say they will be streaming the new show, there are a few who are skeptical about it. Some even say it's trying too hard to be Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone.
"I saw Josh Duhamel in the thumbnail and I knew that I'd want to watch this, it looks so good!" one fan enthusiastically writes.
"Clearly, Netflix is in its Taylor Sheridan era," another chimes in.
One offered up some literary insight for others to read, writing, "For those who don't know this series is based off a novel that was written way before Yellowstone. It's a romance drama western. Set in Texas. Can't wait!"
Another simply responded with, "Soapy Yellowstone."
