Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler Yellowstone spin-off: key information - The Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler spin-off was first announced in December 2024 - It was rumored to be called Dutton Ranch, but Rip Wheeler actor Cole Hauser confirmed that wouldn't be the title - It will be set in the present day, and will explore the Dutton's lives after the events in season 5 - Other actors from Yellowstone are likely to appear in it, including Finn Little, who plays Carter - It will share 'the most DNA with Yellowstone' than any of the (many!) other planned spin-offs - The release date has been suggested for late 2025, but Paramount+ have yet to confirm this The Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler spin-off series from the Yellowstone universe is officially underway and while it's still very early days, we do know some crucial details about what the new Paramount+ series might look like. You should never underestimate the pull of a good Western: and the TV series Yellowstone has totally proved this. Launching without much fanfare on the Paramount Network back in June 2018 (HBO turned it down initially) the Kevin Costner-fronted show steadily drew in a bigger and bigger audience, as the series – which covered life in and around a ranch in Yellowstone, Montana – went out on a high in the final series five in 2024 with a viewership of more than 12 million people. But the people, like the ranchers, wanted more. And spin-offs of the Dutton family were hastily assembled by creators Taylor Sheridan and John Linson. First were the prequels, 1883 and 1923, then the sequels and other Dutton-adjacent series (deep breath): The Madison (due out in 2025), Y: Marshalls, 1944, 6666 and, perhaps the most eagerly awaited of all the new series in the Yellowstone universe, a show that some have said will be called Dutton Ranch. But, hold fire! says Cole Hauser, who plays Rip Wheeler, as he told Fox News that: 'First of all, it's not [called] Dutton Ranch. That's not the name of it.'So, what do we know about the spin-off show that will see Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser reprising their roles as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler? Here's everything you need to know about the neo-Western series so far, including cast members, potential plot and expected release date: Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler Yellowstone spin-off: release date predictions News first came out off a spin-off in December 2024 when Deadline reported: 'Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind Yellowstone and its ever-expanding universe, is working on the creative for the new show, which will likely feature other cast members from the mothership series alongside Reilly and Hauser.'Since then, the most recent word is, according to Bloomberg, that this particular show is being pegged for a Fall launch in 2025, which would make this a very quick turnaround. Paramount+ are yet to confirm a release date, but we'll update this piece as soon as we find out. Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler Yellowstone spin-off: is there a trailer yet? No, there's nothing as yet – we'll let you know as soon as anything drops. Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler Yellowstone spin-off: who is in the cast? Excitingly for the fans who weren't ready for Yellowstone to finish after five seasons, Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser will be back in their legendary roles of Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, respectively. It's been suggested by several publications that other key characters from Yellowstone could also make a return, but so far, the only person confirmed is Finn Little who plays Carter. Carter arrived as a 'troubled teen' in season four, who met Beth in hospital, when both their fathers were dying. After Carter's dad dies of a drug addiction, Beth and Rip become Carter's guardians, and he comes to live and work with them on their ranch. Beth is unable to have children and doesn't see herself as maternal, yet she and Rip form a bond with Carter, and come to view him as family. Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler Yellowstone spin-off: the potential plot Well, it's a series that will obviously have Beth and Rip at the heart of the action. At the end of season 5 of Yellowstone (spoilers ahead, if you're not up to date yet) the Dutton Ranch is no more, after being sold to the Broken Rock Reservation, allowing the land to be preserved as a protected reservation. Beth's father, John Dutton III, was murdered by a contract killer (by a gunshot to the head) hired by Jamie Dutton and Sarah Atwood, but it was staged to look like suicide. In the season's finale, Beth, who vowed revenge for her dad's death, stabs Jamie. According to Deadline, the spin-off is likely to pick up where season 5 ended. It will be 'led by Yellowstone characters, played by the same actors in the same present-day time frame; the new offshoot shares the most DNA with the mothership of any shows in the Yellowstone universe to date.' Hauser is remaining tight-lipped about the plot, also telling Fox News in May 2025: "We can expect the same that we've been doing for the last seven years. Kelly and I are going and working our [expletive] off trying to create something special.'Meanwhile, he told The Hollywood Reporter in June 2025: 'Kelly and I, we're focused on [Rip and Beth's] relationship and our love together, and what we're going to get [them] into. I'm excited just like everybody else. I can't wait to see what they come up with. Hopefully, we'll start seeing stuff soon.' We'd hope so too, if the series is to be released by the end of the year. What are the other spin-offs, sequels and prequels of Yellowstone that we know about? There will be two other offshoots soon joining the Beth and Rip series. The Madison (appearing on Paramount+), led by Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn, and Y: Marshals (on CBS) which will star Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, and which will be released in early 2026. Alongside this, there are two more series in the Yellowstone universe: 1944 (set during World War II and will explore the Dutton family's experiences during that era) and 6666 (about another ranch, Four Sixes, which also appears in Yellowstone and will be about the characters who live on it) which have been previously announced as 'in development'.

Yellowstone fans overjoyed as major character announces return
The original Yellowstone series concluded after its fifth season last year, but the Duttons will live on in an upcoming spin-off. The as-yet-untitled series, which is centered around the characters Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, will also star Carter in a prominent role, according to Deadline. Played by Australian actor Finn Little, 19, Carter previously appeared on seasons four and five of the original Yellowstone. The character is a troubled teenager and orphan who is taken in by Beth Dutton and becomes a ranch hand at Yellowstone. Fans of the western are already overjoyed by the news of Carter's inclusion, with one commenting, 'Awesome!!! I would be disappointed if he wasn't in the spin off. He's a amazing actor and he worked good with Beth and Rip's characters.' 'I for one am happy Carter will be a part of this spinoff. Carter was the best thing to happen to Beth and Rip,' wrote another. A third commented, 'This is great news. Looking forward to the Beth and Rip spin off!' The Beth and Rip series isn't the only Yellowstone spin-off on the way. Yellowstone star Luke Grimes landed his very own spinoff, which is currently in production. Back in May it was announced that the actor, who played Kayce Dutton on the saga, will be the focus of Y: Marshals. On the show, Kayce will join the US Marshals in Montana. The last time viewers saw Kayce, he had moved to a small part of the Yellowstone ranch. It remains unknown whether the show will feature his wife Monica and their son Tate, played respectively on the original series by Kelsey Asbille and Brecken Merrill. The official logline has Kayce 'combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region's war on violence.' It comes after Grimes slammed Yellowstone star Kevin Costner when he said it was easier filming the end of season five without the Hollywood icon. The actor, 41, played the son of Costner's rancher patriarch John Dutton. Costner sensationally left the show before its final half-season, amid explosive reports that he clashed with its creator Taylor Sheridan. In the wake of his departure, Grimes said the last episodes were 'the easiest' to film because 'some of the conflict was gone,' kicking up a flurry of rumors that he had also feuded with Costner, though he denied 'any hard feelings.' Grimes is currently starring in Eddington, a film by Midsommar and Hereditary director Ari Aster.

'Yellowstone' star Cole Hauser spills spin-off secrets, embraces 'classy' world of American cowboys
Cole Hauser is saddling up for his next adventure. Speaking with Fox News Digital at the Professional Bull Riding (PBR) finals in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday, the 50-year-old actor opened up about the highly anticipated "Yellowstone" spin-off premiering this fall, shared why he loves "putting in the work" when it comes to mastering horseback riding and revealed his admiration for the "classy" American cowboy culture that has recently reintroduced itself. "Well, first of all, it's not 'Dutton Ranch,'" Hauser, a brand ambassador for PBR, said of the spin-off's rumored title. "That's not the name of it." While the series' title is still up in the air, one thing is for certain, said Hauser. "We can expect the same that we've been doing for the last seven years," he said. "Kelly (Reilly) and I going and working our a-- off trying to create something special." According to Deadline, Hauser and Reilly have closed deals to lead the spin-off series, reprising their roles as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. Hauser's role of the bad boy on the ranch began when his character, Rip, was found by John Dutton (Kevin Costner) as a child. Rip had murdered his stepfather to protect his mother, who succumbed to the abuse by her husband. John raised Rip on the ranch, and he became Yellowstone's hit man by executing violence and murders when necessary. In an interview with People last year, Cole explained that Rip becoming a fan favorite "surprised the s--- out of [creator] Taylor Sheridan and I, at first." "And I think that's what's the scariest part," he said, adding "he is just that kind of animal." Knowing that he was meant to portray a very cutthroat character, he was taken aback when his fans, specifically women, were infatuated with Rip Wheeler. "At first, to see women coming up and saying, 'Oh my God, I love your character.' I was thinking, 'What's wrong with you?'" he told the outlet before noting that his perspective shifted after seeing the enchanting "bad boy kind of thing that they love." "What makes [Rip] special is that he has an unbelievable heart, too," Hauser said. "I mean, his loyalty is to not only the Dutton family, but to Beth [Dutton portrayed by Kelly Reilly]; and his kindness, other than wanting to kill people at times, is just, to me, it's the best of both worlds to be able to play." Similar to his "Yellowstone" persona, Hauser said his passion for riding horses only intensified throughout his experience filming the show. "The amount of time that I've put in this battle… I was a decent rider when I started, but to be trained by all these unbelievable trainers. I think I'm most proud of the fact that I did the work at the end of the day. I love putting in the work." In 2022, Hauser described how the role of Rip required grueling hours dedicated to "cowboy camp," his daily training to ride and rope effortlessly. "You gotta put in saddle time," he told Fox News Digital at the time. "There's no way around it. You're gonna be sore for the first week, 10 days… you have to be great as a horseman. And Taylor [Sheridan] has been great throughout the five years of putting me with some of the best in the business when it comes to continuing to grow and be better not only [in] my job as a cowboy, but also in the world of being a great horseman. So I'm blessed and lucky to have these people around me. And I'll continue to do it. I mean, there's no way you can ever be great at it. It's just one of those things you have to continue to work on." Outside of playing Rip, Hauser has been focusing his energy on another creative outlet. Most recently, Hauser stepped behind the camera to produce, write, direct, edit and star in PBR's new brand campaign titled "Be Cowboy." The four-minute spot, which premiered at the PBR World Finals on Saturday, shares the message that being a cowboy is more than what meets the eye; it's about heart, grit, and how you live your life. "The world of the PBR and the world of American Cowboys, it's such a classy world," said Hauser. "People don't know that. It's a 'Yes sir, no sir. Yes, ma'am, no, ma'am' environment. And it's just a pleasure to be at my age of 50 years old." "To see that this still exists in our country, there's just an element of unbelievable characters here," said Hauser, who also hosted the Ultimate Tailgate Party during the world finals weekend.
