HIGH STAKES ORIGINAL DRAMA RANSOM JOINS GLOBAL’S WINTER SCHEDULE BEGINNING SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16 AT 8 p.m. ET/PT

Season 3 of original suspense drama Ransom moves in on Global’s winter schedule, taking over Saturday nights beginning February 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT in simulcast with CBS.

This season finds crisis and hostage negotiator Eric Beaumont (Luke Roberts) and his elite CriRes team (played by Nazneen Contractor, Brandon Jay McLaren, and Karen LeBlanc), struggling to balance the demands of their personal lives with their careers as negotiators handling high-pressure kidnappings and hostage-takings. As they negotiate with formidable criminals and immerse themselves in the world of extreme hostage situations, the team members deal with the repercussions of Season 2’s dramatic conclusion.

During the first episode “Justice” (airing Saturday, Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Global), when a man is murdered and his wife is threatened to be next, Eric and the CriRes team are brought in to negotiate a blood money payoff.

Viewers who miss any of the intense drama can stream following the broadcast the next day on GlobalTV.com, Global GO (available for Apple TV, Google Chromecast, and Amazon Fire TV), and on demand.

Ransom is produced by Sienna Films, Big Light Productions, Entertainment One (eOne) and Korda Studios, and was created by Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files, The Man in the High Castle) and David Vainola (Diamonds, Combat Hospital) who also serve as Executive Producers.

eOne controls worldwide rights to the series.
