Yellowstone’s Beth and Rip Spinoff Officially Announced as The Dutton Ranch Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser Return — Annette Bening Joins as a Powerful New Rival
Beth and Rip Begin a New Chapter
The wait is over for Yellowstone fans. Paramount has officially announced that the long-rumored spinoff centered on Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler will be titled The Dutton Ranch. The new series marks the next evolution of Taylor Sheridan’s ever-expanding universe, with Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser reprising their iconic roles.
Set in the present day, The Dutton Ranch follows Beth and Rip as they rebuild their lives on the same land that nearly cost them everything. The show’s official description teases a fierce continuation of their story:
“The Dutton Ranch, home to Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, is a testament to the peace they sought, fought for, and nearly died for. 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.”
Annette Bening Saddles Up for the Yellowstone Universe
In a major casting announcement, five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening has joined the ensemble as Beulah Jackson, a cunning and charismatic Texas ranch owner who could challenge the Duttons’ fragile peace.
Bening, fresh off her Oscar-nominated performance in Nyad, brings decades of cinematic gravitas to Sheridan’s world. Her arrival suggests the spinoff won’t just focus on family and legacy — it will widen the scope of the Yellowstone saga, introducing new rivalries deep in the heart of Texas.
Sheridan’s Trusted Team Returns
Behind the scenes, Taylor Sheridan reunites with his longtime creative partners, including David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, and Chad Feehan. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser will also serve as executive producers, joining forces with Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios — the powerhouse teams behind Yellowstone, 1883, 1923, and the upcoming 6666.
When Will The Dutton Ranch Premiere?
While Paramount+ has yet to confirm a specific premiere date, insiders suggest a late 2025 release, aligning with Yellowstone’s traditional fall schedule. The series will stream exclusively on Paramount+, with global distribution through SkyShowtime and CBS expected in select regions.
A Legacy That Refuses to Die
The Dutton Ranch promises to blend the fiery passion of Beth and Rip’s relationship with the raw, cinematic grit that defines Sheridan’s storytelling. It’s a continuation that feels both intimate and epic — a story about love, land, and the constant fight to protect both.
With Annette Bening’s Beulah Jackson stepping into the fray, the Duttons’ next battle may be their most personal yet. One thing is certain: even as Yellowstone ends, its heart still beats strong in The Dutton Ranch.
