Well, well, well — looks like Beth and Rip aren’t done with us just yet. According to a new report fromLucas Shawin Bloomberg,Kelly ReillyandCole Hauser’sYellowstonespin-offmay have a working title, and that isDutton Ranch.Previous reports had indicated that the title would include the prefixYellowstone, soYellowstone: Dutton Ranchmight well be the direction thatParamount andTaylor Sheridanare heading in.
If it is, it makes perfect sense. TheYellowstoneSeason 5B finale ended with Beth and Rip finally settling into a quieter life, miles away from the chaos of the Dutton ranch — quite literally. In “Life Is a Promise,” Beth buys them a working ranch 40 miles west of Dillon, Montana. The final moments of the show find the two of them, alongside Carter, laying the groundwork for a more grounded future. It’s an ending, sure — but it’s also the perfect beginning.
“Down the road, if there’s something that happens, surely I would welcome it,”Hauser told Collider prior to the finale. Meanwhile, Reilly shared: “Until Taylor Sheridan comes to us both… and [if] he’s inspired to write something for us, then great. And if not, this is a beautiful ending.”
The ‘Yellowstone’ Empire Is Expanding
Well, guess what? Sheridan’s apparently inspired again. The follow-up project will mark the second majorYellowstonesequel in the works, following the start of production onThe Madison, a separate spin-offstarringKurt RussellandMichelle Pfeifferas a New York family attempting a fresh start in Montana. But unlikeThe Madison, which branches out with a whole new cast and concept, the Rip and Beth series is expected to continue the exact threads left dangling from the end ofYellowstone— and may even feature other familiar faces from the original series. We’re sure Lloyd will probably rock up at some point, too.
That brings us back to the title.Dutton Ranchhas been floating around as a potential name, and it’s been reported that the wordYellowstonewill definitely be in there somewhere. So is itYellowstone: Dutton Ranch?Beth & Rip: Yellowstone Ranch? Something else entirely? Whatever it ends up being, it looks like Paramount is keen to keep that valuable branding front and center, especially now that they have full control of the streaming rights (sorry, Peacock).
Stay tuned to Collider for updates onDutton Ranch(or whatever they end up calling it).
