Ransom Canyon Season 2 has added Ben Robson and Heidi Engerman to its cast, both joining as recurring guest stars, Deadline reported in mid-September 2025. The two new names arrive after Netflix renewed the show in June 2025, following the series’ April debut.

Season 1 established the setting and several clear conflicts. Episode 1 opens with a tragic accident that costs Staten Kirkland his son, Randall, and that grief drives much of Staten’s behavior across the season. Later episodes close with a string of cliffhangers. These include Cap Fuller’s death and Yancy’s plan to keep the ranch being upended by the reveal that he is already married. They also include Quinn accepting a music chance in New York to try to save Gracie’s, and Staten punching Davis at a public event while revealing he knows Davis is financially broken.

Ben Robson is best known for a physical, volatile turn on Animal Kingdom; Heidi Engerman has film and television credits that include Candyman. Deadline lists both as recurring guest stars, which usually means each actor will appear across multiple episodes rather than in a single scene.


How may the additions move the plot forward?

As Season 1 left several open threads, the new arrivals are likely to slot into specific unresolved beats. For example, Staten’s public confrontation with Davis put new strain on the Double K Ranch. That tension could grow if one of the newcomers arrives with ties to the rival owners or to the pipeline issue that threatens local ranch finances.

Similarly, Yancy’s surprise marriage and Quinn’s tentative move toward music work create practical openings in the story. Recurring guests could fill those spaces by bringing fresh information, legal pressure, or romantic complications that alter alliances already on screen.

Deadline’s casting item does not list filming dates or a premiere window for the next season, and Netflix has not named an official release date. The show’s creative team and Netflix have also not released names or backgrounds for Robson’s and Engerman’s roles.

That leaves three clear unknowns: the characters’ identities and how many episodes they will appear in. Another question is whether Ransom Canyon Season 2 will include a time jump that explains the arrival of outside figures.


What specific story beats from Season 1 need answers?

Season 1 gave viewers several concrete things to watch. Who will take legal or financial control of the Double K Ranch after Staten’s public fall from grace? How will Yancy’s marriage affect his claim and the Fuller legacy? Will Quinn’s music opportunity in New York help or hurt Gracie’s?

New recurring guests often arrive with motives tied to one of these questions, and that makes their casting directly relevant to how those beats resolve.


Expect more casting notices and occasional production updates over the coming months. News outlets will likely report character names and episode counts when the show’s team clears them for release.

For now, the main facts are straightforward. Deadline confirms Ben Robson and Heidi Engerman are attached in recurring roles, and the series will return after its June renewal. Fans should watch official channels for further details on how these new characters will change the situation set up at the end of Season 1.
