Dutton Ranch season 2 'deserves to be made' according to one star

With Dutton Ranch episode 7 arriving on Paramount+ this week, our attention is starting to turn to the Yellowstone spinoff's future.

We've got two episodes left in the current batch, and at this stage, anything could happen. Beulah (Annette Bening) has just announced 10 Petal's successor, Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) are outright working for her, and Carter (Finn Little) is learning what it's like to get your heart broken.

With Rob-Will (Jai Courtney) also returning to Rio Paloma, the tension is like a boiling pot ready to spit hot water at whatever is nearby.

But is this enough to pull off Dutton Ranch season 2? I think it's the easiest yes in the world... and according to one star, the viewership should speak for itself.

'The numbers speak for themselves'

"I hope so," Berto Colón, who plays Miguel on the hit series, says when I ask him about Dutton Ranch season 2 being renewed.

"I mean, the writing is on the wall, right? I think that the success of the show speaks for itself. There needs to be a continuation to this.

"Obviously, I don't have any actual carnal knowledge of that. I just know that the numbers speak for themselves. What I've gathered in my experience of this business is that if any show deserves a few, a few more seasons is this one."

From an IP perspective alone, he's not wrong. Yellowstone has already been able to churn out four separate spinoffs: 1883, 1923, Marshals and Dutton Ranch.

Out of all of them, Dutton Ranch is the most likely to rival Yellowstone's own legacy, and certainly has the most mileage. Given that there's also fan interest in a Marshals crossover, reuniting Beth with brother Kayce (Luke Grimes), the Duttons are a gift that keeps on giving.

With no renewal in sight yet, I don't think it will take long for Paramount+ to commit. My advice? Keep your eyes peeled around the same time that the season finale drops on July 3.
