Ransom: Not Cancelled? Season Two of CBS Series Still Possible (Report)

by Cindy McLennan, May 19, 2017

Ransom TV show on CBS: canceled or season 2 renewal? (canceled or renewed?)

(CBS)

While the Ransom TV show was reportedly cancelled after one season on CBS, news has broken that there is still a chance for a season two renewal. While this isn’t exactly a Timeless cancellation/renewal scenario, a pick-up may still be in the offing, because this series is an international co-production, and CBS is just one of the parties involved in the series’ fate.  

A crime drama, Ransom stars Luke Roberts as crisis and hostage negotiator, Eric Beaumont. The CBS cast also includes Brandon Jay McLaren, Nazneen Contractor, and Sarah Greene.  Eric and his team resolve tough cases no one else can.  

In an exclusive, TV Wise reports that two of the four partners involved have greenlit a second season of Ransom. Here’s more:

The reports of Ransom’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Despite a flurry of media reports that CBS had axed the Luke Roberts fronted show, sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell me that it has in fact NOT been cancelled. I’m hearing that CBS has not made a decision one way or another and Ransom remains in contention for a second season pick up.

It looks like some of the confusion here may boil down to the fact that Ransom is, unlike CBS’ other shows, an international co-production with multiple commissioning partners (not just CBS). With four such partners having to sign on for a second season, securing a full green-light is taking longer than expected. I’m told two partners have signed on for season two and negotiations are on-going with the remaining partners to secure a renewal. While, admittedly, ratings were soft on CBS, I hear they believe in the show’s creative potential and are inclined to bring it back. Representatives of CBS did not immediately respond to TVWise’s request for comment.

Executive producer Frank Spotnitz confirms that the show’s fate is still up in the air:

Stop the presses, #Ransom fans! Our show has not yet been renewed… or cancelled. More news as it comes. #RenewRansom

I love Ransom and I liked Eric’s concept of giving the person what they need not necessarily what they want. I cannot stop watching it over and over. I am very disappointed that it was cancelled…Some of the other shows need to be cancelled. Having it on Saturday night, the network knew it was doomed from the start…Please, please come back to the fans of this show…

I’m in love with Ransom I was hooked after the first episode. I’m a younger single mom so most of my Saturday nights are home with my kids whom also enjoy this program. It’s not easy to find good television that I can almost always watch with my children. CBS has the best lineup of shows that I’ve followed for years now, an being able to watch them with my children now as I did with my mom is great. I know I’m only one person an you need ratings/viewers but I would really hate to see Ransom go, at… Read more »

I love this program Ransom one because it’s a different type of drama too because it comes on Saturday nights when there’s nothing else to watch and it also gives me joy when I can watch something on TV that I know I like on the weekends

Ransom was a different type of Drama series, and it was really good and intriguing. I so wanted to see what happen to his daughter, than I found out it had be cancelled. This series needs a chance, why because younger adults don’t watch TV everyone else is have to suffer. I have decided that I will NO LONGER WATCH THE LOCAL NETWORK SHOWS DUE TO THE LACK OF DRAMA SHOWS BEING CANCELLED. But what makes me really made about this show is that another CBS show that is listed for the 2017-2018 Season has similar stories like Ransom but… Read more »
