Fans of the hit Western drama are in for exciting news as the ever-expanding world of Yellowstone continues to grow. The upcoming Beth and Rip spinoff has officially confirmed that Finn Little will reprise his role as Carter — and this time, he’s not just making a guest appearance.
According to early production updates, Finn Little has been promoted to a series regular, signaling that Carter will play a much bigger and more meaningful role as the story of Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler continues beyond the original timeline of Yellowstone.
Introduced as a troubled teen who slowly found stability under Beth and Rip’s tough but protective care, Carter quickly became a fan-favorite character. His emotional journey — from loss and anger to learning responsibility on the Dutton Ranch — added a heartfelt layer to the show’s otherwise gritty and intense storytelling.
Now, with the new spinoff set to explore Beth and Rip’s life after the events of the original series, Carter is expected to remain by their side, potentially taking on more responsibilities as he grows into adulthood. His presence could also deepen the family dynamic that Beth and Rip have been quietly building, giving viewers a closer look at what their unconventional version of parenthood might truly become.
While plot details remain tightly under wraps, insiders suggest that Carter’s storyline will evolve significantly in the new chapter, possibly placing him at the center of future ranch conflicts and legacy decisions.
As the Yellowstone universe moves forward, one thing is clear: the bond between Beth, Rip, and Carter is far from over — and fans will soon see just how strong that connection has become in this highly anticipated next installment.
