The Dutton Ranch: Everything We Know About the Yellowstone Spinoff Starring Beth and Rip
The Dutton Legacy Rides On
Though Yellowstone has ended its five-season run, the Duttons’ story is far from over. Paramount has officially greenlit The Dutton Ranch, a new spinoff centered on fan favorites Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser).
According to the official logline, the series follows the couple as they fight to preserve their 7,000-acre ranch and raise Carter (Finn Little) amid new threats and old rivalries:
“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.”
It’s the kind of frontier survival story that made Yellowstone a global phenomenon — and this time, it’s deeply personal.
Who’s Returning to the Dutton Ranch
Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton
Beth is back, and no one’s surprised. The razor-tongued, fiercely intelligent Dutton daughter is as much a part of the ranch as the mountains that surround it. Expect her to be every bit as ruthless — and protective — as ever.
Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler
Where Beth goes, Rip follows. The once-feared “fixer” of the Yellowstone ranch will continue to serve as both protector and partner. Fans can anticipate plenty of trademark Rip intensity — and a deeper look at his and Beth’s marriage as they try to build a life beyond constant war.
Finn Little as Carter
Introduced in Season 4 of Yellowstone, Carter returns as the Duttons’ adopted son. Now older and hardened by ranch life, Carter’s story will reportedly explore what it means to grow up under Beth and Rip’s watchful eyes — and temper.
New Faces Joining the Spinoff
Annette Bening as Beulah Jackson
Five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening joins the cast as Beulah Jackson, “the powerful, cunning, and charming head of a major ranch in Texas.” Her arrival promises to shake things up — and potentially threaten Beth and Rip’s control over their land.
Ed Harris as Everett McKinney
Harris plays Everett McKinney, a seasoned veteran and veterinarian who approaches life (and animals) with humor and compassion. He might be a rare ally in Beth and Rip’s cutthroat world.
Jai Courtney as Rob-Will
Known for The Suicide Squad and Kaleidoscope, Courtney steps in as Rob-Will, “an imposing, unpredictable ranch foreman.” Considering the Duttons’ history with ranch hands, expect fireworks.
Natalie Alyn Lind as Oreana
Oreana is described as “a striking young woman with a wild and free spirit.” Her role in the Duttons’ lives remains a mystery, but given Yellowstone’s track record, she could be either a confidante — or a complication.
Marc Menchaca as Zachariah
The Ozark and The Outsider actor portrays a recently released jailbird trying to rebuild his life as a wrangler, bringing grit and redemption to the new ensemble.
Juan Pablo Raba as Joaquin
Raba joins as a seasoned ranch worker who “fixes problems, big or small,” suggesting another fixer figure in Rip’s orbit.
JR Villarreal as Azul
Azul is described as Rip’s “right-hand man” — expect a loyal but unpredictable ally in the Dutton family’s latest fight for survival.
Release Date and Trailer News
Paramount has yet to announce an official release date or trailer for The Dutton Ranch. Production is reportedly underway, but the studio has hinted that the title could change before the show premieres.
Given the network’s track record with 1923 and 1883, fans can expect cinematic landscapes, emotional storytelling, and the same mix of power and peril that defines the Yellowstone universe.
What to Expect from The Dutton Ranch
The Dutton Ranch will focus on legacy, love, and survival — themes that have always defined the Dutton story. This time, however, Beth and Rip must protect not only their land but the next generation of their family. With enemies on all sides and shifting alliances in play, the couple’s peace may prove short-lived.
Expect moral gray areas, high-stakes ranch politics, and plenty of Montana fire — all set against sweeping Western vistas.
