Yellowstone fans, the moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! For months, the fandom has been buzzing with rumors and speculation regarding the future of Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler following the conclusion of Yellowstone Season 5. Now, after countless teases and hushed whispers, Paramount has officially confirmed that stars Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser are indeed set to headline a brand-new spinoff, ensuring the captivating saga of this iconic couple will continue!

While the flagship Yellowstone series may have concluded its fifth season last year with no further renewal talks, signaling the end of that particular era of the Dutton tale, a new chapter is about to unfold. The exciting possibility of a Beth and Rip continuation first surfaced in a report by Deadline ahead of the Yellowstone finale. Despite Reilly and Hauser seemingly giving a nod to the rumors, Paramount remained tight-lipped – until now.

Paramount Confirms “Dutton Ranch” and November 2025 Launch!

The anticipation reached a fever pitch with a steady trickle of information hinting at the project’s development. Finally, in a May earnings call, Paramount executives openly confirmed the series, revealing its title and a planned premiere date. The new show will be called “Dutton Ranch” (or potentially “The Dutton Ranch”), a title that echoes earlier reports and solidifies the focus on the beloved characters’ new homestead.

This title choice is significant. Unlike the prequels 1883, 1923, and 1944, or the upcoming The Madison, this new series will not carry “Yellowstone” in its title. This strategic decision likely stems from an older streaming deal for the original Yellowstone series, which currently streams exclusively on Peacock. By launching Dutton Ranch as a separate spinoff, Paramount aims to secure the streaming rights for this new Beth and Rip offshoot on its own platform, Paramount+, while the series itself will air on the Paramount Network cable channel.

Filming This Summer, Premiering Next November

Mark your calendars! The Paramount earnings call also revealed that “Dutton Ranch” is currently slated to debut in November 2025. This highly anticipated premiere will coincide with the return of creator Taylor Sheridan’s other hit series, Landman, creating a powerhouse fall lineup for the network. The move strategically places the new series’ debut almost exactly a year after Yellowstone’s final season began. While specific dates are yet to be announced, the November 2025 window is now official.

Earlier reports from Puck’s Matthew Belloni indicated that Taylor Sheridan was “planning to shoot the Yellowstone spinoff with Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly this summer (they’re currently looking to cast a Kevin Costner type that is definitely not Costner to join them).” This suggests that production is either underway or imminently beginning, a thrilling prospect for fans eager to see Beth and Rip back on screen.

Beth and Rip’s New Beginning: A Clue to the Expanding Dutton-Verse?

The stage for Beth and Rip’s next chapter was subtly set in the Yellowstone Season 5 finale (which now appears to have been the series finale). Beth secured a new property for the couple, describing it as a sprawling ranch with “7,000 acres of its own land, plus another 20,000 in a lease, where they can run cattle and horses.”

Her description of the ranch – “40 miles west of Dillon, over 2 hours from an airport, not a f***ing ski resort in sight” – might sound like typical Beth commentary, but the mention of Dillon, Montana, provides a fascinating potential connection. Dillon is located in the Madison Valley, which is reportedly the setting for The Madison, another previously announced Yellowstone spinoff that seemed unconnected until now. While no explicit ties were mentioned in Yellowstone’s final episode, this geographic detail could subtly hint at future crossovers and intertwining storylines within Taylor Sheridan’s ever-expanding Dutton universe.

The confirmation of “Dutton Ranch” featuring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser is a monumental win for Yellowstone fans, promising to carry forward the beloved narrative of Beth and Rip. As more details emerge regarding casting, plot, and production, we will continue to update this developing story. Get ready for an epic new chapter in the Dutton legacy!
