Even though the original Yellowstone quietly ended in December 2024, the franchise is still going strong. Marshals on CBS puts the focus on Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton. The Madison, on the other hand, is not a direct continuation of the Dutton family but carries much of the same ethos.
Kelly Reilly’s Beth Dutton and Cole Hauser’s Rip Wheeler are headlining their own spinoff with The Dutton Ranch, which will premiere with two episodes globally on Paramount+ on Friday, March 15. Along with the reveal of the release date, Paramount+ shared the first extended footage of the spinoff in a teaser trailer:
New images also highlight the returns of Reilly and Hauser and preview the rest of Dutton Ranch‘s cast. Check out the images in the gallery below:
Yellowstone Is Leaning More Into The Crime Genre Than Ever Before In Dutton Ranch
The Dutton Ranch takes its name from the place that Beth and Rip call home. It’s a testament to what the couple has nearly died for. Although they’ve cherished their 7,000-acre land, tough times and stiff competition lead Beth and Rip to do what they must to survive. In the process, they have to ensure that Carter (the returning Finn Little) becomes the man he’s supposed to be.
As Beth and Rip try to build a future together far from the ghosts of Yellowstone, they run into harsh new realities and a ruthless rival ranch willing to do anything to protect its empire. This is all part of the atmosphere in South Texas, with blood running deep and forgiveness proving rare.
The spinoff’s increased crime bent can similarly be gleaned from the impressive cast joining Hauser, Reilly, and Little. Four-time Academy Award nominee Ed Harris plays Everett McKinney, a veteran and veterinarian who has a good sense of humor.
The Dutton Ranch also stars Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca, and Natalie Alyn Lind.
But the real trouble for Beth and Rip may well come from Annette Bening, with the five-time Oscar nominee playing Beulah Jackson. The character is described as the powerful and charming head of a major ranch in Texas.
Where Beth & Rip’s Yellowstone Spinoff Fits In The Larger Dutton Timeline
The Dutton Ranch will be showrun and executive produced by Chad Feehan, who previously worked on the Taylor Sheridan show Lawman: Bass Reeves. Sheridan is also an executive producer on The Dutton Ranch, which hails from Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios. Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Alexandra Voros, Michael Friedman, Hauser, Reilly, and Keith Cox also executive produce.
The spinoff will remain on the same present-day timeline as the original Yellowstone, with previous reports indicating that it is the show that is most positioned to pick up after the Yellowstone ending. But in this version, the fan-favorite couple will experience a bit more danger as they come into contact with a pair of Oscar winners.
