Paramount Network Dutton Ranchis an upcomingYellowstonespinoff highlighting Kelly Reilly's Beth Dutton and Cole Hauser's Rip Wheeler. The series will follow Beth and Rip as they oversee the Dutton Ranch amid "tough times and stiff competition." Oscar nominee Annette Bening was recently announced as part of the main cast. YellowstonecreatorTaylor Sheridancould very well have joined the circus, what with how well the writer and producer can spin a dozen different plates. Since the launch ofYellowstonein 2018, the Oscar-nominated scribe has expanded the scope of his Western saga with two prequels,1883and1923. Now, afterbidding farewell toYellowstone— and producing series likeTulsa KingandLandman— Sheridan seems eager to return to the ranch with a pair of modern-day spinoffs set to air on Paramount+. Both center on the children of John Dutton, the Montana rancher and politician played byKevin CostneronYellowstone. One,Y: Marshals, will followLuke Grimes' Kayce Dutton as he begins a new career as a U.S. marshal. The other, tentatively titledDutton Ranch, will highlight Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and her husband, Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), as they oversee the family's ranch. So, who's joining Reilly and Hauser on theYellowstonespinoff? What will it be about? And who's running the show? Here's everything we know aboutDutton Ranch. Paramount Network According to its official logline,Dutton Ranchwill pick up after the events of theYellowstonefinale, with Beth and Rip "grateful for the peace they sought, fought, and nearly died for with their 7,000-acre Dutton Ranch." The synopsis goes on to tease the importance of their son, Carter (Finn Little), to the story. "With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter becomes the man he's supposed to be." Both Reilly and Hauser have been tight-lipped when asked about the spinoff, but they both seemed keen on continuing to portray the characters. "I am definitely interested in Beth, and who she is after some things have happened," Reilly said in a November 2024 interview withTown & Country. "Who is she in peace? As an actor you're like, 'Ooh, let me at that.' Wouldn't it be fun to watch Beth go to therapy?" That same month, she toldThe Hollywood Reporterthat she has the utmost faith in Sheridan continuing Beth and Rip's story. "I trust him with wherever he takes her; whether we're leaving her where we've left her, or we're going to find her somewhere else, I trust him." Paramount Network Sheridan will serve as an executive producer onDutton Ranch, withChad Feehanserving as the showrunner and as an executive producer. Sheridan and Feehan previously worked together onLawmen: Bass Reeves, starringDavid Oyelowo. Feehan created that miniseries, which was executive produced by Sheridan. Reilly and Hauser will also have a hand in its development, as both have signed on as executive producers. They'll be joined by a number ofYellowstonealums in David C. Glasser, John Linson,Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Christina Voros, and Keith Cox. Paramount Network An official cast list forDutton Ranchhas yet to be revealed, but wedoknow that Reilly, Hauser, and Little will be joined by five-time Oscar nomineeAnnette Bening. The veteran actress is best known for her work in films likeAmerican Beauty(1999),The Kids Are All Right(2010), andNyad(2023). Bening will costar on the series as Beulah Jackson, who's described as the powerful, cunning, and charming head of a major ranch in Texas. How she intersects with the Duttons is still a mystery.
