Yellowstone fans finally given major update on Beth and Rip spin-off after months waiting

Yellowstone’s Dutton family is set to live on in the form of a new spin-off apparently arriving very soon.

The much-anticipated sequel to Yellowstone has been given a tentative release date, and it’s closer than fans might expect.

After nearly two years of waiting for the second half of the fifth season following Kevin Costner’s departure, the Duttons’ saga seemed to conclude last December.

However, it was later confirmed that main characters Beth Dutton (played by Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) would be returning for a follow-up series. The upcoming addition to the expanding list of Yellowstone spin-offs will focus on the journey of the ranching power couple after the death of Beth’s father, John Dutton (Costner).

A recent Bloomberg report suggests that Paramount co-CEO Chris McCarthy and Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan are gearing up to launch the new spin-off this autumn.

The series, currently titled Dutton Ranch, will be exclusively available on Paramount+ in just a few months.

The plot details for Dutton Ranch remain under wraps, particularly considering Beth’s brother Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) sold the Yellowstone ranch to its former adversary, Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham).

Kayce intended to stay on the land with his wife, Monica (Kelsey Asbille), and their son, Tate (Brecken Merrill), while Beth and Rip considered relocating to a smaller area near Dillon, Montana.

The peaceful retreat from their former life of crime and chaos for the beloved characters could be disrupted in the coming months as they make a return to our screens.

Reilly had already set fans abuzz by confirming the spin-off on her Instagram, responding with “true [love heart emoji]” to a fan’s inquiry about the project.

Her thrilled co-star Hauser shared his excitement with People magazine, stating: “America has spoken and they still love the show.

“Hopefully, we can continue to get in people’s living rooms and entertain them the way we have over the last seven years.”

In addition, showrunner Sheridan is said to be working on an early development stage for Kayce’s own spin-off at CBS, while eager fans are also anticipating the arrival of other spin-offs, The Madison and 1944, slated for release in 2026
