This week is an exceptional time to be a Yellowstone or Taylor Sheridan fan, if I say so myself. Log onto Paramount+ this week, and you'll be greeted with the penultimate episode of Marshals: A Yellowstone Story (May 17) and the first two episodes of the new spinoff, Dutton Ranch (May 15).

While we've known that both shows would be debuting this year, this is the first time that we get to experience them simultaneously. In short, it almost feels as though Yellowstone itself never truly ended.

While Marshals has been following Kayce (Luke Grimes) after joining the US Marshals in Montana, Dutton Ranch sees Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) up sticks to Texas, taking over a brand-new ranch in the small town of Rio Paloma.

It's great to see the Dutton siblings back on our screens, but is there ever a chance that their paths will cross once more? They might now be in different states, but for Reilly, a reunion is something that she's actively hoping will happen.

'Anything is possible with Taylor Sheridan'

"Anything is possible with Taylor. Anything," Reilly tells me when I ask her about a potential Dutton crossover. "You would hope that there would be some crossover at some point between Beth and Kayce, that they would just be in each other's lives even though they've both moved on and are doing other things.

"We definitely needed a break from Yellowstone. But I think, at some point, seeing Kayce and Beth together would really be something."

She's not wrong. With Marshals opening to middling fan and critic reviews back in March, giving the people what they want — more Yellowstone — would be an easy win. However, this gets more complicated when you factor in that Sheridan now only serves as an executive producer for both spinoffs.

Dutton Ranch showrunner Chad Feehan has also reportedly left the series prior to its launch, meaning that there's even more pressure behind the scenes to find a replacement if the show gets picked up for a second season.

If a Beth-Kayce reunion is going to happen, we'll likely be waiting a while for it. But as far as Reilly is concerned, she wants to hold onto Beth for as long as possible.

"I think if we can take an audience who loved Yellowstone and bring them on this new journey, and they stay with us, I'll be proud of that. I hope we get to keep them," she adds.
