Almost exactly a month before its debut on Netflix, the numbers are in confirming the streaming service has a huge hit on its hands.
The Nielsen streaming ratings for the week of April 14-20 show that this series made a significant debut, securing the second spot on the overall charts right behind another Netflix favorite, Black Mirror.
The show is such a hit that fans have been consistently taking to social media to clamor for a second season.
Despite Netflix not confirming a renewal yet, there are rumors suggesting that an announcement could take place during the upcoming live Tudum event in late May, which will be hosted by Sofia Carson.
The latest sensation on the small screen is Ransom Canyon, headlined by Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, as reported by THR, pulling in an impressive 1.12 billion viewing hours in its premiere week.
Ransom Canyon was by far the biggest debut of that week, and had the second-most viewing hours of the week overall, behind Black Mirror (1.58 billion viewing hours).Â

What is this huge new hit show? It’s none other than Ransom Canyon, starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly , which THR reports amassed 1.12 billion viewing hours for its first week.
The series is based on a series of novels by Jodi Thomas, following rancher Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel) who is fighting not only fellow ranchers but those determined to destroy his entire way of life.
Minka Kelly also stars as Quinn O’Grady, a longtime Kirkland family friend and owner of a local dance hall.
The cast also includes Eoin Macken as Staten’s brother-in-law Davis Collins and James Brolin as Cap Fuller.
The show already has a rather dedicated fan base, many of whom are tweeting at Netflix to announce a Season 2 renewal.
