From global studio Entertainment One (eOne), Korda Studios, Big Light Productions and producers Sienna Films, Ransom will shoot in Hungary in the coming months and premiere next year on Global in Canada and CBS in the U.S. Additional details will be revealed at a later date.

"The first season of Ransom brought intense, high-octane action coupled with compelling storytelling, and we can't wait to see where the series takes us in Season 2."
