For years, fans of Yellowstone have been captivated by the explosive romance between Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. Their relationship—raw, intense, and deeply loyal—has stood as a pillar of the show’s emotional heart. Now, Paramount Network is giving this iconic pair their own chapter in the ever-expanding Dutton universe, officially titled Yellowstone: Beth & Rip.

What We Know So Far

Set to premiere in late 2025, the spinoff promises to dive deep into the rugged lives and complex hearts of the series’ most beloved couple. With Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser reprising their roles, Beth & Rip will explore not just their romance, but the challenges of maintaining power, family, and identity in the harsh American West.

According to insiders, the series will feature 10 hour-long episodes per season, following a format similar to the original show. Filming locations remain consistent with Yellowstone’s breathtaking style—expect sweeping Montana landscapes and dusty cattle trails to ground the emotional chaos.

A New Frontier for the Yellowstone Franchise

Unlike the prequels (1883, 1923) which focused on legacy and the past, Beth & Rip is rooted in the present. This shift means we’ll see how the couple navigates a post-John Dutton world, perhaps even testing their survival instincts in new territories far from the Yellowstone ranch.

While plot details are still under wraps, sources suggest we’ll witness never-before-seen backstories, hidden betrayals, and a brutal reckoning that could test their loyalty like never before. Will their love survive outside the shadow of the Dutton name?

Why Fans Should Care

Beth and Rip aren’t just fan favorites—they’re cultural icons of modern Western drama. Beth’s razor-sharp tongue and Rip’s steel-hearted loyalty have created a dynamic few shows can match. Giving them center stage allows for an exploration of power, trauma, passion, and perseverance—on their terms.

Behind the scenes, Taylor Sheridan remains at the helm, ensuring the tone, writing, and pacing match the quality fans have come to expect. With Sheridan’s cinematic vision and the actors’ undeniable chemistry, this spinoff is set to become another must-watch series in the Paramount portfolio.
