Benjamin Cavell Joins ‘Dutton Ranch’ As Showrunner Following Chad Feehan Exit

Dutton Ranch has a new showrunner.

The Paramount+ series, which is a spinoff of Yellowstone, has named Benjamin Cavell, creator of SEAL Team, as showrunner for season two.

This comes after Chad Feehan, who served as showrunner for season one, exited the Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser-fronted series, ahead of its premiere.

The series was renewed for a second season earlier this month.

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. Cavell will exec produce alongside Reilly, Hauser, Taylor Sheridan, John Linson, David C. Glasser, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Alexandra Voros and Michael Friedman.

In addition to SEAL Team, Cavell created The Institute and co-created The Stand and wrote on Justified.
