Dutton Ranch is just getting started.

The Yellowstone spinoff series starring flagship stars Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser has been renewed for a second season at Paramount+. The news comes as the series heads into its final two episodes of season one, with the finale releasing on July 3.

The renewal comes as little surprise, given the high expectations around Reilly and Hauser continuing on the beloved Yellowstone franchise with their fan-favorite pair, Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, respectively. And the series was a megahit right out of the gate. It became the biggest original series debut in Paramount+ history with 12.9 million viewers globally in the week following its premiere.

Dutton Ranch also became the biggest series premiere on cable since 2023 when it made its two-episode debut on Paramount Network on May 15.

“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 priginals 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.”

Matt Thunell, president of Paramount Television Studios added, “Dutton Ranch has resonated with audiences in a powerful way, building on the legacy of beloved characters, while establishing its own identity,. 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.”

Dutton Ranch set fire to Beth and Rip’s perfect Yellowstone ending in its premiere, and the propulsive nine-episode season has seen the pair fighting to both hold onto and build a new legacy ever since.

Here’s the logline for season one: “As Beth and Rip fight to build a future together — far from the ghosts of Montana — they collide with brutal new realities and a ruthless rival ranch that will stop at nothing to protect its empire. In South Texas, blood runs deeper, forgiveness is fleeting, and the cost of survival might just be your soul.”

Produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios, Dutton Ranch also stars Yellowstone alum Finn Little, Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca, Natalie Alyn Lind, and Ed Harris and Annette Bening. 

Chad Feehan was executive producer and showrunner on season one; he exited the series after completing the season and ahead of its series premiere and a new showrunner has yet to be named.
