Ransom season 2 US, Canadian premiere dates will be the same

For those of you interested in getting the Ransom season 2 premiere date in America, we come bearing good news! The Canadian drama series is going to air both in America on CBS and in Canada on Global at the same exact time — Saturday, April 7 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time.

In a statement confirming this news, Maria Hale, Senior Vice President, Global Entertainment & Content Acquisition, Corus, had the following to say:

“Global has a longstanding history of airing high-octane crime procedurals, and Ransom delivers an excellent balance of thrilling drama with a gripping overarching storyline and compelling characters … In Season 2, viewers will be on the edge of their seats as we see this elite team take on even more extreme hostage situations.”

For some more insight into the premiere, all you have to do is look below:

The Season 2 premiere entitled “Three Wishes,” picks up moments after Season 1’s cliffhanger, where Eric’s longtime adversary, Damien Delaine (guest star Carlo Rota, Jane the Virgin), has taken Eric and Nathalie’s (de Caunes) daughter, Evie (Kohan), hostage. Delaine appears at Crisis Resolution and demands that Eric fulfill his ‘3 wishes’ in order to release Evie, threatening to kill her within hours if he doesn’t comply. In a race against time, the team works to fulfill Delaine’s strange demands which include Eric answering a series of emotionally compromising questions and performing ethically questionable tasks. Tensions rise when Damien challenges Eric with a final wish that will force him into making an impossible decision.

So why is the show still airing on Saturdays? While it seems on paper like an unusual move given that this is a series that could succeed on other nights, one of the good things about it is that it can have a timeslot that is uniquely its own and build a consistent audience there. It’s a little too early to say for sure that it’s going to get a season 3 in this timeslot but we at least think that it’s going to have a shot. The #1 priority now is just getting the word out, especially in America given that we don’t think there are too many people out there altogether familiar with the show at present.
