The Dutton Ranch: Everything We Know About Yellowstone’s Spinoff So Far
Even though Yellowstone concluded its five-season run on Paramount Network, the Dutton family saga isn’t finished yet. One of the most anticipated spinoffs, The Dutton Ranch, is set to follow fan favorites Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler as they navigate new challenges, protect their legacy, and continue shaping young Carter into the man he’s meant to be.
According to the official logline, “Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler are grateful for the peace they sought, fought, and nearly died for with their 7,000-acre Dutton Ranch. 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.” While no release date or trailer has been announced, the series promises to expand the Yellowstone universe with high-stakes drama, family loyalty, and intense rivalries.
Returning Cast
Beth Dutton – Kelly Reilly reprises her role as the fiery and fearless Beth, whose strategic mind and sharp tongue have become a cornerstone of the franchise.
Rip Wheeler – Cole Hauser returns as the loyal, protective, and complex husband Rip, ensuring the Duttons’ legacy remains in safe hands — at least, most of the time.
Carter Dutton – Finn Little, who was introduced in Yellowstone Season 4, joins the spinoff as the wayward teen whose growth and choices will be central to the storyline.
New Faces to Watch
Beulah Jackson – Five-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening is set to stir the pot as Beulah Jackson, described as a “powerful, cunning and charming head of a major ranch in Texas.” Fans can likely expect strategic maneuvers and sharp rivalries that will challenge the Duttons at every turn.
Everett McKinney – Ed Harris, returning to the Yellowstone universe, takes on the role of Everett McKinney, a weathered veterinarian whose compassion and humor offer a rare counterbalance to the harsh world of ranch life. Will he be friend or foe? Only time will tell.
Rob-Will – Jai Courtney, known for Suicide Squad and recent TV projects like Kaleidoscope, joins as the imposing and unpredictable ranch foreman Rob-Will. True to Dutton tradition, his presence promises tension, conflict, and a fair share of chaos.
Expanding the Yellowstone Universe
The Dutton Ranch is one of several Yellowstone spinoffs currently in development. CBS is also preparing Y: Marshals, which follows Kayce Dutton as he enforces “range justice” in Montana, and The Madison, starring Michelle Pfeiffer as the matriarch of a grieving family. Each spinoff aims to explore different facets of the Dutton legacy while introducing new characters, rivalries, and stories for fans to dive into.
While details remain limited, the combination of returning favorites and Hollywood heavyweights ensures that The Dutton Ranch will be a must-watch addition to the Yellowstone universe. With Beth and Rip leading the charge, it seems the next chapter will be just as thrilling, dangerous, and emotionally charged as the original series.
As anticipation builds, fans are already speculating: which alliances will hold, which rivalries will ignite, and who will ultimately come out on top? One thing is certain — the Dutton saga is far from over.
