The great Yellowstone expansion continues with Paramount+‘s Dutton Ranch, the fifth series in the ever-expansive saga of the Dutton family. In addition to the flagship Yellowstone series (which wrapped up in 2024), this is a world that has included voyages back through time (with 1883 and 1923), forays into crime procedurals (Marshals), and now takes Rip (Cole Hauser) and Beth (Kelly Reilly) to a new ranch in Texas for a thrilling face-off with a couple of Academy Award nominees in Annette Bening and Ed Harris.
In many ways, Dutton Ranch feels like the truest sequel to Yellowstone to date. Marshals follows Kayce (Luke Grimes) as he becomes a Marshal, but that show feels more like a traditional CBS primetime series than something out of the Yellowstone/Taylor Sheridan playbook. Maybe because Dutton Ranch lives on Paramount+ rather than network TV, and maybe because it has more of the sweeping neo-Western vibe we’re used to from Yellowstone, but this does feel like a real continuation of the story for Rip and Beth that had been set up for all of those years.
Hauser and Reilly are also joined by returning Yellowstone actor Finn Little, who plays their adopted son Carter. That trio helps ground Dutton Ranch as the show starts to introduce other characters and helps viewers begin to understand their new setting. That bit of culture shock figures strongly into the core of Dutton Ranch, as Rip and Beth are so used to their lives in the mountains of Montana, and the flat land of Texas feels quite different.
But, of course, Beth Dutton is Beth Dutton. She does things her way and doesn’t care for anyone who dares to get in the way. That makes for a problem when a rival wealthy ranch owner (played by Bening) decides to take her on. Factor in a next-door neighbor played by Ed Harris and a bit of good old-fashioned back-and-forth battling, and Dutton Ranch makes for one hell of a Yellowstone adventure — even if the action has moved a bit away from Yellowstone itself.
When Is the Next Episode of Dutton Ranch Coming Out?
Unlike just about every other show in the Yellowstone and Greater Taylor Sheridan Universe — including Landman, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and others, which all release on Sundays — each new episode of Dutton Ranch will release on Paramount+ on Fridays.
How Many Episodes of Dutton Ranch Are Left?
The first season of Dutton Ranch will be nine episodes in total, the first seven of which have now debuted on Paramount+. That means there are still two more episodes — and two more weeks of Beth, Rip, and the crew getting up to some messy business — remaining in the first season.
