I'm Obsessed With The Dutton Family Tree, So I Diagrammed It And Figured Out The Questions We Still Need Answered
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Duttons' story spans generations, and we've gotten to see so much of it on screen. From the modern Yellowstone to 1883 to 1923, we've learned a lot about the founding and present members of the Montana-based family. Now, with upcoming Yellowstone shows like 1944 and the Rip and Beth spinoff, we'll get to learn more. That means it's beneficial to know the family tree (which you can see below) and the various questions about it that we still need answers to. The end of 1923 felt like it confirmed that Alex and Spencer's baby was the John Dutton II who eventually becomes the father of Yellowstone's John Dutton III (Kevin Costner). However, Brandon Sklenar, Julia Schlaepfer and Michelle Randolph, who play Spencer, Alex and Elizabeth, respectively, all told me nothing is confirmed. In the words of Schlaepfer: The door's open until Taylor Sheridan shuts it…Brandon and I have talked a lot about who's the lineage, and of course, I think we would love to imagine that our John is the John, but time will tell. Meanwhile, Randolph, whose character was also pregnant at the end of 1923, told me that she could 'confidently say that it's not confirmed.' So, those red lines of the family tree connecting Jack and Elizabeth as well as Spencer and Alex to John Dutton II are warranted, and illustrate maybe the biggest question we have going into 1944. It seems like Elizabeth could be a key player in 1944, especially if she has the baby she would have shared with Jack. After Jack's death, she lived on and moved off the ranch. However, it is not confirmed if the child she was pregnant with was born. If they were, and especially if they end up being a boy named John, things could get messy for the next generation of Duttons. While we know John Dutton II is the father of Kevin Costner's John Dutton III, seeing as Dabney Coleman plays him in Yellowstone, we have no idea who his mother is. We don't even know her name. Odds are, we'll meet the woman John marries in 1944, seeing as that show will likely follow his generation of Duttons when they're in their early to mid twenties. As you can see, there aren't very many "unseen" boxes on the family tree, and this is one of the few massive mysteries left. So, hopefully the next generation of Yellowstone can give us that answer. After Alex's tragic death, it's revealed that Spencer lived on and had a child with another woman who was also a widow. However, he never married her. Explaining this during the voice over, Elsa said: Spencer never remarried. Took the comfort of a widow, made another boy, refused to marry her. Then, one day, the widow was gone. So, will this woman be someone new? Will she be Elizabeth? Will it be a woman from Spencer's past? Anything is possible, and the fact that they had a kid together 100% makes this question a prominent one. Before 1923's finale, we didn't know if John II had siblings, but this situation with Spencer's fellow widow revealed that he would have a half-sibling. Now, I'm curious what this sibling's name will be. Will they have the name of one of the Yellowstone characters – like Beth, Lee or Kayce? Could this child also be named John? If Elizabeth is Spencer's partner, will they name their baby after Jacob or Cara or maybe James or Margaret? All these questions are racing around my mind, and along with learning who the widow is, I also want to know the name of the baby she shares with Spencer. To me, there are three characters who will likely be in 1944. John II, Spencer and Elizabeth. John Dutton II feels like a shoo-in. While we don't technically know if this John will be the child of Alex and Spencer or Jack and Elizabeth, he should be in this series, seeing as both women were pregnant in 1923. Plus, we see John II in Yellowstone as a very old man, and the math lines up for him to be in his early to mid twenties in the '40s. Hypothetically, we'd get to see this character right in the middle of his life, decades after his birth in the '20s and long before he died in the modern day. However, he'll also feel like a new character in a way, because it's not like we really got to know him in the last show, or Yellowstone, for that matter. In one, he was (maybe) a baby, and in the other, he was a man on his deathbed. That leads me to the other characters who could return. Spencer feels like the most obvious answer. In the final moments of 1923, it's revealed that he died 45 years after Alex passed away in 1924. That means he lived until about 1969. So, he is confirmed alive in 1944, and he'd still be at an age where he could likely run the ranch while his kids help out. If Harrison Ford's Jacob can run the ranch into his 80s, I'd bet money Spencer will do it until he can't anymore, too. So, I have a feeling we'll see him in 1944. Paramount Plus: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearTo watch the Duttons in action, you can stream Taylor Sheridan's shows (except Yellowstone) on Paramount+. Along with that franchise, you'll also get access to CBS's catalog with plans that start at $7.99 per month. You can add Showtime to all that with a Premium package that also takes away ads for $12.99 per Deal I also think Elizabeth will show up. She was pregnant at the end of 1923. As we discussed, she could potentially be the widow Spencer has a relationship with. And it makes way too much sense for her and her child to somehow return to Montana to play a part in the ranch's future. Odds are, Cara and Jacob will be dead; we know Jack and Alex are dead. So, of the 1923 Duttons, they probably won't be back. With all that said, my hypothetical roster for returning Duttons in 1944 is: John II, Spencer and Elizabeth. Overall, the Dutton family tree is a fascinating one, and every time I watch 1883 or 1923 with my Paramount+ subscription or Yellowstone with a Peacock subscription, I think about how all the generations are connected as well as all the questions that arise with each one.

CBS' 2025-2026 Fall TV Lineup Reveal Confirms Luke Grimes' Yellowstone Return And First All-NCIS Night, But I'm More Shocked By That Taylor Sheridan And Blake Shelton Team-Up
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The 2025 TV schedule just got real interesting as CBS announced its primetime lineup for the '25-'26 season. After renewing nine shows at once, along with bringing a bunch of others back, CBS is also introducing some new projects, like Kayce's Yellowstone spinoff and singing competition produced by Taylor Sheridan and starring Blake Shelton. Plus, we're getting some exciting schedule changes, like a full night devoted to NCIS. So, let's break it all down. So, let's start with the upcoming Yellowstone show. Luke Grimes will reprise his role as Kayce Dutton in Y: Marshals, which is a working title. The series will follow the youngest Dutton as he 'joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals.' At the end of Yellowstone, we left Kayce kind of on the Dutton Ranch after he gave most of it back to the Broken Rock people. According to this new show's synopsis, that ranch is 'behind him,' and this new series will combine 'his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana.' Y: Marshals will join the CBS primetime lineup in the spring of 2026 in the 9 p.m. slot on Sunday, and it will be another addition to the growing list of Yellowstone shows, which includes upcoming projects like the Rip and Beth spinoff, Dutton Ranch, Michelle Pfeiffer's The Madison and the prequel 1944. For the first time ever, CBS is putting three of its NCIS shows on one night. Starting in the fall of 2025, the franchise will take up the entire 8-11 p.m. slot on Tuesdays. This means Season 23 of NCIS will air at 8 p.m. It will be followed by Season 2 of NCIS: Origins at 9 p.m. Then, the day will end with Season 3 of NCIS: Sydney at 10 p.m. So, if you love the world of NCIS, Tuesdays will be your night to tune in, because it's all CBS will be airing. Paramount Plus: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearAll of CBS's programming, including the NCIS shows, is also available on Paramount+. For as little as $7.99 per month, you can have access to it all. You can also upgrade to Premium (which is $12.99 per month), and get access to Showtime and take away ads. View Deal Now, the two aforementioned topics are massive news. However, I might be more shocked by a new show that was announced with this schedule. Before Y: Marshals takes the stage on Sundays in the spring, The Road will air during that 9 p.m. slot this fall. This is a new singing competition produced by Yellowstone's mastermind Taylor Sheridan, and it will feature Blake Shelton, Keith Urban and Gretchen Wilson. This will mark Shelton's return to the world of singing competitions after his tenure as a coach on The Voice, and he'll get to collaborate with Urban and Wilson, who are both dominant voices in the country music world. Overall, this sounds epic, and considering the team behind it, I'm in shock and awe over this new show. Along with all of that, CBS did announce its full line-up, which included a handful of new shows that are worth mentioning. Along with The Road, the fall programming will include the Blue Bloods follow-up, Boston Blue, the first Fire Country spinoff, Sheriff Country, the Tom Ellis-led series CIA, and a new comedy called DMV. Meanwhile, the midseason premieres will include Harlan Coben's Final Twist and America's Culinary Cup, as well as the return of Watson for Season 2 after the Season 1 finale that will – to quote the showrunner – "go bang!" Adding to the excitement, a ton of beloved shows, like Ghosts, Tracker and Fire Country, are returning too, and you can see CBS's full 2025-2026 lineup below: Monday 8p.m.: The Neighborhood 8:30 p.m.: DMV 9 p.m.: FBI 10 p.m.: CIA Tuesday 8 p.m.: NCIS 9 p.m.: NCIS: Origins 10 p.m.: NCIS: Sydney Wednesday 8 p.m.: Survivor (Fall '25) / Survivor 50 (Spring '26) 9: 30 p.m.: The Amazing Race (Fall '25) / America's Culinary Cup (Spring '26) JANUARY: 8 p.m.: Hollywood Squares / 9 p.m.: The Price is Right at Night / 10 p.m. Harlan Coben's Final Twist Thursday 8 p.m.: Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage 8:30 p.m.: Ghosts 9 p.m.: Matlock 10 p.m.: Elsbeth Friday 8 p.m.: Sheriff Country 9 p.m.: Fire Country 10 p.m.: Boston Blue Saturday 8 p.m.: CBS Encores 9 p.m.: CBS Encores 10 p.m.: 48 Hours Sunday 8 p.m.: Tracker 9 p.m.: The Road (Fall '25) / Y: Marshals (Spring '26) 10 p.m.: CBS: Encores (Fall '25) / Watson (Spring '26) Overall, CBS's lineup for the next season is thrilling, and I can't wait for it. However, we'll have to wait a few months for it. Have no fear, though. Everything from CBS's schedule this season is available with a Paramount+ subscription, so you have plenty of time to get caught up and stay entertained while we wait for this next season of programming.
