Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly, known for their iconic roles as Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton in the popular TV series ‘Yellowstone,’ have confirmed their return for a new spin-off series titled ‘The Dutton Ranch.’ The show, which has a working title, will pick up immediately after the conclusion of the main series, offering fans a continuation of the Dutton family’s story. This new series is expected to delve deeper into the challenges and dynamics faced by Rip and Beth as they manage their sprawling ranch under increasingly difficult conditions.
The announcement was made by Fox News Digital, highlighting the return of Hauser and Reilly alongside the addition of Academy Award nominee Annette Bening to the cast. Bening will play Beulah Jackson, a complex and influential character in the Texas ranching community. Finn Little, who portrayed the young Carter in the original series, is also set to reprise his role, ensuring the continuity of the character’s development. The new series will be produced by Taylor Sheridan, the creator of ‘Yellowstone,’ along with a list of other notable executive producers, including David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Chad Feehan, Christina Voros, and Keith Cox. This collaboration ensures that the show will maintain the high standards and storytelling that have defined the ‘Yellowstone’ franchise.
As part of Sheridan’s expanding narrative universe, ‘The Dutton Ranch’ joins other projects such as the prequels ‘1883’ and ‘1923,’ which have provided insights into the origins of the Dutton family and their ranching legacy. The upcoming series ‘The Madison,’ starring Michelle Pfeiffer, is also expected to be released in the near future, further expanding the scope of the Yellowstone saga. Fans of the series are eagerly looking forward to the new developments, particularly the continuation of the storylines of Rip and Beth, which have been a central focus since the beginning of the show. With Hauser and Reilly expressing their commitment to the project and the promise of new characters and conflicts, ‘The Dutton Ranch’ is poised to be a significant addition to the television landscape.
