‘Yellowstone’ Spin-Off The Dutton Ranch Expands Cast With Four New Stars — Here’s Who’s Joining Beth and Rip
The Yellowstone universe is getting even bigger — and better. Paramount’s highly anticipated spin-off, The Dutton Ranch, is adding four new regular cast members to join returning fan favorites Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) and Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler).
Following the events of the Yellowstone finale, the series will follow Beth and Rip as they start a new life away from the chaos of the Montana ranch, focusing on rebuilding, redemption, and survival in an ever-changing West.
The Dutton Ranch Welcomes Four New Faces
According to Variety, the newest additions to the cast are Natalie Alyn Lind, Marc Menchaca, Juan Pablo Raba, and JR Villarreal — each set to bring fresh energy and complex new dynamics to the neo-Western drama.
Here’s who they’ll be playing:
-
Marc Menchaca (Ozark, The Outsider) will portray Zachariah, a former inmate trying to rebuild his life through ranching and hard work.
-
Natalie Alyn Lind (The Gifted, The Goldbergs) joins as Oreana, described as a spirited young woman with an untamed and adventurous streak.
-
JR Villarreal (Landman, United We Fall) takes on the role of Azul, a whip-smart wrangler and Rip Wheeler’s trusted right-hand man.
-
Juan Pablo Raba (Narcos, Six) stars as Joaquin, a no-nonsense problem solver who works at a neighboring ranch, handling “problems big or small.”
These four new characters are expected to play major roles in shaping the next chapter of the Dutton family legacy.
Returning Cast: Familiar Faces in a New Frontier
The Dutton Ranch also stars Finn Little as Carter — Rip and Beth’s surrogate son — alongside Ed Harris and Annette Bening, whose roles remain tightly under wraps but are rumored to be key figures in the couple’s new life.
The series will follow Beth and Rip as they settle into their 7,000-acre property, far from the Yellowstone ranch. According to the official logline:
“With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive — all while ensuring Carter becomes the man he’s meant to be.”
Expect the signature Yellowstone blend of family loyalty, moral conflict, and brutal frontier realism — only this time, in a new setting and with fresh enemies.
Behind the Scenes
The Dutton Ranch is executive produced by Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan and showrunner Chad Feehan, who previously worked together on Lawmen: Bass Reeves.
Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser are also credited as executive producers, alongside Yellowstone veterans David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Christina Voros, and Keith Cox.
What to Expect From The Dutton Ranch
Fans can expect The Dutton Ranch to carry the spirit of Yellowstone while carving out its own identity — less about empire-building and more about survival, love, and legacy.
With a stellar cast, a powerhouse creative team, and Sheridan’s signature writing, this new chapter promises to keep the Dutton saga alive in true cowboy fashion — with grit, passion, and plenty of danger.
