Beth and Rip Return for a New Chapter in the Yellowstone Universe

The long-rumored Yellowstone spinoff centered on Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler has finally been given a name — and it’s as iconic as the couple themselves. The new series, officially titled The Dutton Ranch, will see Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser reprise their beloved roles in a continuation of the Yellowstone timeline.

Created and executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, the spinoff will unfold in the present day, chronicling Beth and Rip’s next chapter as they fight to preserve the land and the peace they nearly died to protect.

According to the official description shared by Deadline,

“The Dutton Ranch, home to Beth Dutton (Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Hauser), is a testament to the peace they sought, fought for, and nearly died for, as they’ve come to cherish their 7,000-acre land. With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter (Finn Little) becomes the man he’s supposed to be.”

Annette Bening Saddles Up as a New Rival

In an exciting casting coup, Annette Bening has joined the series as Beulah Jackson, described as “a powerful, cunning, and charming head of a major ranch in Texas.”

Bening’s arrival brings heavyweight prestige to the Yellowstone universe. The acclaimed actress, recently nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Nyad (2023), has an impressive filmography that includes American Beauty, The Kids Are All Right, 20th Century Women, and Captain Marvel.

Her addition hints that The Dutton Ranch won’t just be a domestic saga — it will expand the show’s reach, possibly pitting the Duttons against new Texas rivals as they navigate a changing ranching world.

Sheridan’s Creative Team Returns

Behind the camera, Sheridan reunites with his trusted collaborators. Executive producers include David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Chad Feehan, Christina Voros, and the show’s stars, Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, alongside Keith Cox.

The series is being produced by 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 an official release date, insiders suggest The Dutton Ranch is targeting a late 2025 premiere, mirroring Yellowstone’s traditional fall release schedule.

The spinoff will stream exclusively on Paramount+, with potential international distribution through SkyShowtime and CBS depending on regional rights.

A New Frontier for Beth and Rip

After years of chaos, betrayal, and bloodshed, The Dutton Ranch promises a more intimate yet equally explosive story — one that puts Beth and Rip at the center of a fight for survival.

From protecting their land to shaping Carter’s future, the show will continue to explore themes of legacy, love, and the price of peace — all through Sheridan’s unflinching lens on the modern American West.

And with Annette Bening’s formidable Beulah entering the fray, one thing’s certain: even after Yellowstone, the Duttons’ story is far from over.
