‘Dutton Ranch’ Renewed For Season 2 At Paramount+

There are few surprises in Texas as Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch has been renewed for a second season.

The renewal comes as the show, which stars Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, has two episodes left to stream of its first season.

Dutton Ranch was always likely to be picked up for a second season after Paramount+ claimed that it was the biggest original series launch in its history.

The show may, however, have to search for a new showrunner after the departure of Chad Feehan, who created the spinoff, ahead of its series launch. Not all Taylor Sheridan-produced series have traditional showrunners, though, with some of his titles favoring directors who handle those duties on set.

Dutton Ranch, which premiered on May 15, stars Reilly and Hauser reprising their Beth and Rip characters from Yellowstone as they move their family to South Texas.

The nine-part series follows the pair as they fight to build a future together with Carter, played by Finn Little, who they took in during the original series.

Ed Harris and Annette Bening also star with Harris as Everett McKinney, a weathered veteran and veterinarian, and Bening as Beulah Jackson, the powerful, cunning and charming head of a major ranch in Texas.

Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca, Natalie Alyn Lind also star in the new series.

The series is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios. The first season was exec produced by Feehan, Sheridan, John Linson David C. Glasser, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Alexandra Voros, Michael Friedman, Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly and Keith Cox.

“Beth and Rip are among the most iconic duos in television history and we are thrilled to bring a whole new world to life with Dutton Ranch for our subscribers around the world,” said Jane Wiseman, Head of Originals for Paramount+. “We’re also incredibly grateful to our partners, including the teams at Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios, for bringing this new series to life with such grit, heart and authenticity.”

“Dutton Ranch has resonated with audiences in a powerful way, building on the legacy of beloved characters, while establishing its own identity,” added Matt Thunell, President of Paramount Television Studios. “Thank you to our partners at Paramount+ and 101 Studios for a phenomenal first season. We look forward to bringing fans more stories from these unforgettable characters in Season two.”
