Dutton Ranch has wrapped up its first season, but will the Yellowstone spin-off return for season two? Find out below.
Created by Chad Feehan, the Paramount+ series serves as a sequel to Yellowstone, with Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser reprising their roles as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler.
The series follows the pair as they attempt to build a new life in South Texas, away from the Montana ranch that defined the original show.
The cast also includes Finn Little as Carter, Juan Pablo Raba as Joaquin, Jai Courtney as Rob-Will, Ed Harris as Everett McKinney and Annette Bening as Beulah Jackson.
The first season premiered on Paramount+ on May 15, before concluding with its ninth episode, titled El Padrino, on July 3.
Check out the trailer below.
Will there be a Dutton Ranch season two?
Yes, Dutton Ranch has already been renewed for a second season.
Paramount+ confirmed the renewal last month, before the first season had even finished airing. The news came after the show became the streamer’s biggest original series launch to date, with 12.9million global viewers in its first week.
A release date for Dutton Ranch season two has not been announced yet.
There will also be a major change behind the scenes. Chad Feehan, who created the series and served as showrunner on season one, will not return for the second season. Benjamin Cavell, whose credits include SEAL Team, The Stand and The Institute, has been brought in as the new showrunner.
Paramount has not confirmed the full cast for season two, although Reilly and Hauser are expected to return given the show’s focus on Beth and Rip.
The first season also leaves several major threads open for the next run. The finale reveals the full extent of the criminal operation surrounding 10 Petal, with Beulah and her family linked to cattle smuggling and fentanyl trafficking across the border.
By the end of the episode, Beth and Rip have survived an attack on their ranch, but Mariano has emerged as a major threat. Rob-Will is also found dead, while Joaquin’s role in the shooting is left unclear.
That means season two is likely to explore the fallout from the cartel storyline, the future of Beulah’s ranching empire and whether Beth and Rip can hold on to the new life they have tried to build in Texas.
