Beth & Rip’s Yellowstone Spinoff Title & Release Plans Revealed In New Report

A new report seemingly reveals the release plans and title for Beth and Rip’s Yellowstone spinoff. Previously, it was announced that Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser would reprise their roles as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, leading a new untitled spinoff that focuses on their lives after the events of the original show. Creator Taylor Sheridan is working on the spinoff, though not many details have been revealed just yet. The original Yellowstone came to a close in late 2024.

A Bloomberg report covering the co-chief executive officer of Paramount Global, Chris McCarthy, revealed the release plan for the scheduled Beth and Rip spinoff, which is currently set to be Sheridan’s next show after 1923, Lioness, and Landman. Titled Dutton Ranch, the series will premiere on Paramount Network and be available for streaming on Paramount+ the following day, marking a first for the Western franchise.

What This Means For The New Yellowstone Spinoff

Dutton Ranch Really Will Be A New Chapter For Yellowstone

Yellowstone‘s success as a franchise played a huge part in the streamer’s plan for potential spinoffs. 1883 and 1923 were the first to emerge, but several additional projects are already in the works. With the flagship seemingly at an end for the time being, despite rumblings of an additional season, Sheridan is developing at least three more shows in the same universe, including a prequel that takes place in WWII and The Madison, a series that is expected to premiere later in 2025.

The title Dutton Ranch seems to symbolize a proper changing of the guard, with Beth assuming center stage following the death of her father John (Kevin Costner) in Yellowstone season 5. Reilly’s character became a fan favorite, so the decision to give her a spinoff came as no surprise, but the first-of-its-kind release plan further demonstrates Paramount’s confidence in the project. This also hints at the importance of Dutton Ranch to the Yellowstone franchise, being the first sequel spinoff led by characters from the original series.

Our Take On The Beth And Rip Spinoff’s Title And Release Plan

Dutton Ranch Carries The Weight Of Yellowstone

The Dutton Ranch title carries a lot of weight and also highlights how the story in Yellowstone will continue following Beth and Rip’s journey at a new ranch. It sounds like the series might be given priority over other scheduled spinoffs and prequels in the franchise. While Paramount has yet to confirm anything, it makes sense for the Beth and Rip spinoff to come sooner than later, despite being announced more recently.

The Yellowstone series finale hinted that Beth and Rip might be settling down at the new ranch in Dillon, Montana, which would mark a new era for the Dutton family. Meanwhile, Kayce stays at the ranch with his family, with the land being sold to Thomas Rainwater, keeping a promise that their ancestors made. Dutton Ranch opens the door for several characters from Yellowstone to return, which makes it the most anticipated spinoff in the franchise.
