Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser Will Star in a New Yellowstone Spinoff

It’s all happening! For months, Yellowstone fans have been on tenterhook over the rumors that stars Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser were in negotiations to carry on the beloved Western drama into a sixth season. With season five having finally come to a close late last year and no further talks of renewal, it seems that particular era of the Dutton tale has truly ended. However, we now know for certain that Reilly and Hauser have signed on to a new spinoff show to carry on the stories of Beth and Rip.

The possibility first surfaced in a report by Deadline ahead of the Yellowstone finale, but despite the fact that Reilly and Hauser seemingly gave the thumbs up to the rumors, Paramount, which owns the rights to the Dutton universe, never officially confirmed the series was in the works. Since then, it’s been widely agreed that the series is happening, with a steady trickle of information revealing more and more details about plans for the show. However, in an earnings call in May, Paramount executives finally spoke openly about the series, officially confirming that it’s on, as well as a title, and the fact that it’s expected to premiere in November 2025.

Here’s everything we know so far about the new spinoff.

Yellowstone' Sets Spinoff Series Starring Kelly Reilly & Cole Hauser

It’s titled Dutton Ranch.
While the Yellowstone shows have a history of title swaps, in a May earnings call Paramount Global co-CEO Chris McCarthy, referred to the series as Dutton Ranch (or possibly The Dutton Ranch.) That echoes an earlier report by Bloomberg that the show was operating under that working title.

This differs slightly from Deadline’s early reports that the new show would carry Yellowstone in the title—unlike the series’s prequels 1883, 1923, and 1944, or the upcoming spinoff The Madison. Per Bloomberg, the series, like its parent show, will air on Paramount Network (the cable home of Yellowstone) with streaming rights going to Paramount+.

The decision to make the new series a spinoff rather than an extension of the flagship show may be, in part, due to a streaming deal that Yellowstone cut back before Paramount helmed its own streamer. Despite all of the associated Dutton-verse shows appearing on Paramount+, the original series is only available on Peacock—a new title would potentially allow Paramount to capture the streaming rights for the new Beth and Rip offshoot.

The series will debut in November.
Another bit of news that emerged from the Paramount earnings call was that it’s currently planned for Dutton Ranch to debut in November 2025 alongside the return of creator Taylor Sheridan’s other hit series Landman. The move would put the new series airing almost exactly a year after Yellowstone’s finale season started. No specific dates have been revealed yet.

Puck’s Matthew Belloni previously reported 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).” Bloomberg later announced that the show was planned to air in fall 2025.

What will the Beth and Rip series be about?
The season 5 finale of Yellowstone (which now seems to have been a series finale) hinted at what’s to come for the characters, with Beth buying a new property for the couple to live on. As she explained, the ranch comes with 7,000 acres of its own land, plus another 20,000 in a lease, where they can run cattle and horses.

As she describes it, the ranch is “40 miles west of Dillon, over 2 hours from an airport, not a fucking ski resort in sight,” and while that might sound unremarkable, the mention of Dillon actually could hint at how The Madison—the previously unconnected series that’s been billed as a Yellowstone spinoff—ties in. Dillion, Montana is in the area known as the Madison Valley, where the titular show is supposedly set. While no other connections to that series were mentioned in the episode, it’s possible that we’ll see some ranching crossover in the ever-expanding Yellowstone universe.

We will continue to update this story as more is announced.
