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 that era of the Duttons tale has truly ended. However, a report by Deadline ahead of the finale revealed that Reilly and Hauser have signed on to a new spinoff show to carry on the stories of Beth and Rip.
Since then, information has been somewhat dicey—a status that has become familiar for fans of Paramount-owned series, as the parent company is famously reticent to offer official confirmations.
Stars Reilly and Hauser seemingly gave the thumbs up to the rumors. When asked in a comment on an Instagram post following the finale whether the rumors of a spinoff were true, Reilly responded with a hopeful single-word answer, “True.” Hauser also gave fans something to get excited about on Instagram, sharing an image from early in Yellowstone’s filming with a caption including the line, “What a ride. What a office. See ya on the next.”
Then, in April, Bloomberg offered two big reveals: the tentative title for the series is reportedly Dutton Ranch, with an eye toward the show debuting in fall 2025.
Here’s the (very little) we know so far about the potential spinoff:
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.
It’s tentatively titled Dutton Ranch.
Nothing is set in stone yet, and the Yellowstone shows have a history of title swaps, but as of April 2025, Bloomberg reported that the show was operating under the working title Dutton Ranch.
This differs slightly from Deadline’s previous 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 could air before the end of the year.
Puck‘s Matthew Belloni reported that Taylor Sheridan is “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 is planned to air in fall 2025, though no official announcements have been made about a firmer date.
We will continue to update this story as more is announced.
