Paramount+ renews "Dutton Ranch" for second season
"Dutton Ranch," the Yellowstone spinoff starring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, has been renewed for a second season despite a pending change in showrunner.
Paramount+ announced that the nine-part series "Dutton Ranch" will return for a second season. The renewal comes as the first season, which premiered on May 15, approaches the release of its final two episodes. The show follows Reilly and Hauser reprising their Yellowstone roles as Beth and Rip Dutton, who relocate their family to South Texas and care for a foster child, Carter.
The series also features Ed Harris, Annette Bening, Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney and several other actors. Production is handled by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios. Creator Chad Feehan, who also served as an executive producer, left the project before its launch, prompting a search for a new showrunner.
"Beth and Rip are among the most iconic duos in television history and we are thrilled to bring a whole new world to life with Dutton Ranch for our subscribers around the world," said Jane Wiseman, Head of Originals for Paramount+.
"Dutton Ranch has resonated with audiences in a powerful way, building on the legacy of beloved characters, while establishing its own identity," added Matt Thunell, President of Paramount Television Studios.
The renewal follows Paramount+'s claim that the series marked the platform's biggest original series launch, and it will continue to expand the storyline of the Dutton family in season two.
