What Is Dutton Ranch About?

In the new Yellowstone spinoff, Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler head to South Texas to fight for their future, only to clash with a rival ranch owner. The show picks up shortly after Yellowstone ended, following Beth and Rip in the aftermath of the series finale.

The series serves as both a spinoff and a direct sequel to Yellowstone (2018–2024) and is the fifth television series in the Yellowstone franchise. Wikipedia

Star-Studded Cast

Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser return as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, joined by two Oscar nominees — Ed Harris and Annette Bening.
