Ransom Canyon<\/em> is coming back for a second season \u2014 but two main characters won\u2019t be coming back in shocking exit news.<\/p>\n Eoin Macken<\/strong> and Andrew Liner<\/strong>, who played father and son Davis and Reid, respectively, will not be returning as series regulars for season 2, according to Deadline<\/em><\/a>. It is unclear whether they could return in a guest star capacity.<\/p>\n The hit Netflix series is currently in production with Ben Robson<\/strong> and Heidi Engerman<\/strong> recently added to the season 2 cast as recurring guest stars. Both newcomers are set to appear in multiple episodes as filming continues in Albuquerque, New Mexico.<\/p>\n Based on Jodi Thomas<\/strong>\u2018 book series<\/a> about a town that is full of drama, romance and hope, Ransom Canyon, which premiered in April, introduced Us<\/em> to the locals in Texas Hill Country. Josh Duhamel<\/strong>\u2018s character, Staten Kirkland, was grieving two major losses in season 1 while navigating his undeniable connection to childhood friend Quinn (Minka Kelly<\/strong>), who has also caught the eye of Staten\u2019s brother-in-law and love triangle rival Davis (Macken).<\/p>\n There was also Yancy (Jack Schumacher<\/strong>), who had a past he was hiding from Ellie (Marianly Tejada<\/strong>). Viewers further found themselves invested in a love triangle between high school students Lucas (Garrett Wareing<\/strong>), Lauren (Lizzy Greene<\/strong>) and Reid (Liner).<\/p>\n Liner, 24, previously teased exclusively to Us Weekly<\/em> what he would like to see<\/a> happen for Reid in season 2.<\/p>\n \u201cHe should have never gone against his family. He was trying to do the right thing and he\u2019s figuring out what is right for him. He\u2019s constantly in this battle of what is good,\u201d Liner told Us<\/em> in April. \u201cI think that the most interesting stuff is going to be with his dad, with his mom and figuring out that world. Because we don\u2019t get to see much of it in season 1 \u2014 even though it\u2019s discussed a lot and we get to see glimpses. I am very fascinated with that.\u201d<\/p>\n With Liner (and Macken) gone, that leaves two love triangles<\/a> that are no longer at the center of the show. Wareing, 24, recently hinted that season 2 would be shaking things up \u2014 at least when it comes to Lucas and Lauren.<\/p>\n During an interview with Us<\/em> earlier this month, Wareing played coy when asked<\/a> whether Lucas\u2019 brother, Kit (Casey W. Johnson<\/strong>), and Lauren could be a romantic possibility in the future.<\/p>\n \u201cWouldn\u2019t that be crazy?\u201d he teased. \u201cWouldn\u2019t that up the stakes? Wouldn\u2019t that be crazy? I can\u2019t say anything. My hands are tied, but I will say the stakes are high and Ransom Canyon season 2 will be a joy to watch for the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
