Just because Lucas and Lauren ended up together on Ransom Canyon doesn’t mean season 2 can’t shake things up by creating a love triangle — with his brother.
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly while promoting The Long Walk, Garrett Wareing played coy when asked whether Lucas’ brother, Kit (Casey W. Johnson), and Lauren (Lizzy Greene) could be a romantic possibility in the future.
“Wouldn’t that be crazy?” he teased. “Wouldn’t that up the stakes? Wouldn’t that be crazy? I can’t say anything. My hands are tied, but I will say the stakes are high and Ransom Canyon season 2 will be a joy to watch for the fans.”
Wareing, 24, also hinted that the Ransom Canyon writers pay attention to viewers.

“Our writers listen to the fans — and I’m referencing something in particular right now — but I’m not going to tell you what it is. But our writers listen and and I think it’s really cool to be able to — in real time — engage with the fans and see these scripts come to life,” he noted. “I’m so delighted to be able to share these new episodes with you guys after we start shooting them [soon].”
He continued: “I’m so grateful to get to return to Ransom Canyon with my favorite people in this world. It’s thanks to all the fans on TikTok, and it’s thanks to all the fans who watched on Netflix. We get to go back and make more episodes for you because of you. So I thank the fans. They loved our show wholeheartedly and I’m grateful to get to go back and play Lucas Russell and bring more hot and steamy and sexy Ransom Canyon to TV screens.”

Based on Jodi Thomas‘ book series of the same name, Ransom Canyon introduced Us to a town full of drama, romance and hope. The first season kicked off with stoic rancher Staten (Josh Duhamel) grieving two major losses while navigating an undeniable connection to childhood friend Quinn (Minka Kelly), who has also caught the eye of Staten’s brother-in-law and rival Davis (Eoin Macken).
There was also newcomer Yancy (Jack Schumacher), who had a past he was hiding from Ellie (Marianly Tejada). And if that wasn’t enough, viewers found themselves invested in another love triangle between high school students Lucas (Wareing), Lauren and Reid (Andrew Liner).
After season 1 premiered in April, some viewers questioned whether there was meant to be potential romantic tension between Lauren and boyfriend Lucas’ brother, Kit. Despite Lauren being with Lucas (and Kit hooking up with Lauren’s mother), interest picked up since love triangles with siblings are in — courtesy of shows such as The Summer I Turned Pretty and My Life With the Walter Boys.
Wareing’s subtle hints about season 2 come after he previously showed his support for Lucas and Lauren.
“We saw Lucas and Lauren very happy in season 1. What does it look like when we don’t see them happy and when we are facing real world hardship? And what does it look like to feel that pull and come back together?” he told Us in April. “Lucas is looking to explore [life outside of Ransom Canyon] but is it worth exploring without the love of his life? That’s a question that we’re going to have to answer in season 2 — if we’re lucky. Lucas loves Lauren so much that his dream wouldn’t be complete without her.”

For now, Wareing is focused on the release of his new movie, The Long Walk. Based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King, the movie is set in a dystopian America ruled by a totalitarian regime where a walking contest — known as The Long Walk — is held annually.
Wareing plays Billy Stebbins in the movie, which is out now.

“Believe it or not, I got the call that I booked The Long Walk on my final day of Ransom Canyon season 1,” he recalled. “I actually taped for this audition with my cast in Ransom Canyon. They went out to the desert with me and we all shot this tape together. It was a team effort from the beginning — and even now — it’s a team effort making this film. It was truly like a dream come true.”
While discussing the process, Wareing revealed he originally auditioned for Gary Barkovitch — a role played by Charlie Plummer. He then tried out for Stebbins, which was the perfect fit.
“I had three days off between Ransom Canyon and The Long Walk. I read the book three times and I knew how intense this was going to be,” he continued. “To prepare for this, it is about finding that character, finding the voice and finding the walk. What is it like for your body to walk after 300 miles? What does it look like to build that gradually? What is it like Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3?”
Wareing continued: “Of course, Stebbins gets sick throughout the film. So what is it like to play this physicality of being sick? Believe it or not, I had an upper respiratory infection when I taped for this initially. It might have been a blessing because I think it made it more convincing.”
Ransom Canyon is currently streaming on Netflix and has been renewed for season 2. The Long Walk is in theaters now.
