ellowstone spin-off, The Dutton Ranch, has added four new actors to its star-studded cast, which is led by original stars Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser. The pair reprise their roles as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler in the hotly-anticipated series, which follows the husband and wife after the dramatic fifth and final season of Yellowstone last year. The spin-off sees Beth and Rip face “tough times” at the titular, 7,000-acre family ranch, which they “sought, fought and nearly died for” in the original show.
Fans of the epic franchise are counting down the days until the spin-off arrives – and it’s safe to say that expectations are high. Following Yellowstone‘s season five finale, which was met with mixed reviews, fans of the Western are undoubtedly expecting the same grit and emotional intensity that made the original show so popular. With franchise creator Taylor Sheridan listed as an executive producer, and Chad Feehan, who worked on Lawmen: Bass Reeves, serving as showrunner, I’ve got high hopes for the upcoming spin-off.
