Yellowstone. This time, it takes viewers to Texas to tell the story of three dynasties of ranchers fighting for land, heritage and the people they love. Emotions are expected to run high.

Where is Ransom Canyon set?
Netflix's new series invites viewers to Ransom Canyon, located in Texas. But while there is indeed a town of that name in Texas, with a population of 1189 people, the town depicted in the Netflix series is not the real Ransom Canyon. So if you fell in love with Ransom Canyon from this production, you may have trouble finding it.
The shooting of the Netflix series did not take place in Ransom Canyon, or even in Texas, although it seemed that due to the setting in that state, the crew would be shooting there. Locations from the Netflix series can be found in New Mexico, more specifically in Las Vegas, Santa Fe, New Mexico and Albuquerque.
Most of the scenes from Ransom Canyon were shot right in Albuquerque, which caused a lot of emotions for Minka Kelly, who plays one of the main roles, as she told Tudum.
I’ve never had to shoot in Albuquerque until this show. I was afraid to go back because I hadn’t really been there since my childhood, which wasn’t the best. Going back in this way just took away the boogeyman. There were places I visited from my childhood that I would think, ‘Man, if the Minka at that time would have ever imagined I’d be back here shooting this show, I never would have believed it.’ It was really beautiful and there’s something divine about it.
