Minka Kelly says she does not understand Netflix cancelling Ransom Canyon
Netflix cancelled Ransom Canyon after two seasons, and actor Minka Kelly says she is sad and does not understand the decision.
Kelly, who starred as Quinn, spoke about the cancellation on the Mom’s Car podcast on November 3.
The series also starred Josh Duhamel and followed three ranching families competing over land and power in a close-knit Texas community.
Duhamel has also said he was disappointed, believing the show’s audience numbers made another season seem likely.
Season two drew 4.1 million views in its first week, down from 7.2 million for season one’s opening week, and spent three weeks in Netflix’s top 10.
The story will not continue with a third season, though both seasons remain available on Netflix.

What people are saying
I don’t understand these things sometimes.
I felt like we had such a good thing. We all love each other so much,
I was a little upset with Netflix for not giving the audience another season, because people really did love the show … but that’s the business,
I thought [it was safe] because the show was No. 1 for almost two weeks and the numbers looked really, really good and people really loved the show.
