It's Texan, tender and, yes, totally sexy. How 'Ransom Canyon' became Netflix's next obsession.
Here's what's trending across India right now:
Minka Kelly was so skeptical when the romantic Western — based on the novel series by Jodi Thomas — climbed to the top of Netflix's rankings that she asked her team whether the streamer had placed it there to encourage more people to watch.
Adding to this, "When it was, like, the No. 1 streaming show, I was like, 'Does Netflix position us at No. 1 to boost us so that people watch us? Are we really?'" Kelly tells Yahoo. "You never know. You're a part of things and you think they're great, and then they don't happen or no one cares."
Meanwhile, Kelly and Josh Duhamel return as Quinn O'Grady and Staten Kirkland in the second season of Ransom Canyon , out now. Picking up six months after the events of Season 1 , the new episodes find Staten fighting to reclaim his family's West Texas ranch while Quinn must choose between the small town she once tried to escape and the fast-paced life she found in New York City — including a new love interest from her time away.
Notably, Although Kelly felt that the cast and crew were making "something special" during the first season, she knew from experience that quality didn't guarantee an audience.

In further updates, "It's just kind of like lightning in a bottle, and all the stars aligned," she says. "It did feel different than a lot of other things I've been a part of. Working with Josh did feel [like] magic."
On top of that, "You never set out to make something crappy," he jokes. "The hope is always that it's going to be a massive success. The truth is that it's a really hard thing to do. So many things have to come together. It has to sort of fit into the zeitgeist of the moment."
He believed Ransom Canyon had a chance because the world felt "authentic" and "lived-in." But after decades in the business, he knew better than to try to predict what viewers would embrace.
