“Dutton Ranch” has been renewed for Season 2 at Paramount+.
The “Yellowstone” spinoff starring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser as Beth and Rip has been a hit for the streamer, marking the biggest original series launch in Paramount+ history and topping the Nielsen streaming charts in its debut week.
The show, which also serves as a sequel to “Yellowstone,” follows Beth and Rip as they flee the ghosts of Montana to settle down in South Texas. But as they fight to build a future together, “they collide with brutal new realities and a ruthless rival ranch that will stop at nothing to protect its empire,” according to the logline. “In South Texas, blood runs deeper, forgiveness is fleeting, and the cost of survival might just be your soul.”
“Dutton Ranch” hails from creator Chad Feehan and executive producer Taylor Sheridan. It premiered on Paramount+ on May 15 with new episodes launching on Fridays. The season finale will air on July 3.
Aside from Reilly and Hauser, the show also stars Finn Little, Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca, Natalie Alyn Lind, Ed Harris and Annette Bening.
The nine-episode first season is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios. Executive producers also include John Linson, David C. Glasser, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Alexandra Voros, Michael Friedman, Hauser, 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.”
