Yellowstone's Beth and Rip spinoff moves filming location to Texas. Here's why
The beloved Yellowstone universe is expanding once again, this time with a spinoff focused on Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser). But in a surprising twist, the production has shifted from Montana, the heartland of the original series, to Texas, reported TV Insider. Yellowstone spinoff starring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser is filming in Texas.(X\@jaalyynnn) The report revealed that filming for the show is currently underway in Ferris, Texas, under the working title Rio Palo. Representatives for 101 Studios later clarified that the title is only a placeholder name for the yet-untitled spin-off of Beth and Rip. The Texas production base is a significant departure from Yellowstone's roots. Fans last saw Beth, Rip, and Carter (Finn Little) settling on a ranch near Dillon, Montana, which is nearly two hours away from the Dutton family's iconic Paradise Valley ranch. The change in location has left fans curious about what was the driving move, and whether the story itself will leave Montana behind. A move driven by production strategy The decision is less about abandoning Montana and more about Sheridan's growing television empire. Creator Taylor Sheridan recently opened a sprawling production facility in Fort Worth, Texas, capable of hosting up to four shows at once, Rolling Out reported. The facility has already been used for the second season of Landman; the facility is quickly becoming the hub for Sheridan's expanding slate of Paramount projects.

Industry sources were quoted in the TV Insider report saying that Texas is offering favorable filming initiatives, crew availability, and controlled environments: all advantages that help Sheridan manage multiple simultaneous productions. Montana still matters Despite this southward shift, Montana is unlikely to disappear entirely. Yellowstone, along with its prequels 1883 and 1923, mixed Montana landscapes with Texas scenes to balance authenticity and practicality. Observers expect Beth and Rip's story to take a similar route. They will likely use Texas locations for indoor filming and logistics while still returning to Montana for sweeping outdoor shots. This method keeps the Montana identity that fans expect, while giving Sheridan's team the flexibility needed to handle a busy production schedule. Title secrecy and timeline While Rio Palo and Dutton Ranch have been suggested as working titles, the actual name of the series is still a secret. Cole Hauser confirmed that Dutton Ranch will not be the final title. This secrecy aims to protect plot details and encourage fan speculation until the marketing campaigns officially start. Reports indicate that the Beth and Rip spinoff might premiere in 2026, but this has not been confirmed yet. This timeline puts it alongside other Yellowstone projects such as The Madison, Y: Marshals, and the long rumored 6666 and 1944 spinoffs, per the TV Insider. FAQs Q: Why is the Beth and Rip spinoff filming in Texas instead of Montana? A: The move is largely logistical. Taylor Sheridan's new Fort Worth studio offers state-of-the-art facilities and tax incentives, making Texas a practical hub for multiple productions. Q: Will the spinoff still feature Montana scenes? A: Yes, industry observers expect Montana to remain part of the show for exterior ranch landscapes, while Texas handles interiors and controlled filming environments. Q: When will the Beth and Rip series premiere? A: Reports suggest 2026, though Paramount has not officially confirmed the release date.

Is ‘Yellowstone's Beth & Rip Spinoff Filming in Montana?
Few details about the Yellowstone Beth and Rip spinoff starring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser have been confirmed. What we do know is that it's in production, and that Reilly, Hauser, and Finn Little are set to reprise their roles as Beth Dutton, Rip Wheeler, and Carter in the spinoff. A Texas news outlet reported that a Yellowstone spinoff called Rio Palo was filming in Ferris, Texas. If Rio Palo sounds unfamiliar, it should. No show with that name has been announced for the Yellowstone TV universe. An MTV rep recently clarified that the so-called Rio Palo that's filming in Ferris is not a show by that name, but rather the still-untitled Beth and Rip spinoff. The last fans saw Beth and Rip, they were living in Montana on a new ranch with Carter. That ranch was said to be about 40 miles outside of Dillon, which is just a two-hour drive from Paradise Valley, where the fictional Yellowstone Dutton ranch was located. The Dallas Express reported on August 8 that a Yellowstone spinoff titled Rio Palo was filming in and around Ferris, Texas this summer. The report said that an undisclosed location in Ferris would serve as the set for the primary residence for the show's main characters. Dallas Express did not mention the Beth and Rip spinoff in its report. A representative for 101 Studios, the production company that makes the Yellowstone shows with Taylor Sheridan and MTV, confirmed to Country Living that the show filming in Ferris is the Beth and Rip series and that it's not called Rio Palo. The spinoff used to have a working title of Dutton Ranch. Hauser told Fox News Digital that Dutton Ranch is not the show's title. The official title remains undisclosed. Yellowstone's five seasons were primarily filmed in Montana. The 1883 and 1923 spinoffs were filmed in Montana and Texas. Another Sheridan show at Paramount, Landman, filmed its second season at Sheridan's new production facility in Texas earlier this year. The massive production hub is settled in Fort Worth and can accommodate four productions at once, per The Wrap. Fort Worth and Ferris are about an hour drive apart. It seems that this Fort Worth filming campus will be home base for Sheridan productions moving forward. The Beth and Rip series filming in Texas does not necessarily mean that production will never step foot in Montana. The series could be planning to film in both locations, just like the other Yellowstone spinoffs. This series is one of several for which fans have long been awaiting updates. The other present-day spinoff, The Madison starring Michelle Pfeiffer, has reportedly finished filming but there have oddly been no updates on when it will come out. The 6666 spinoff has long been radio silent, as has the reported 1944 spinoff. It's been said that the Beth and Rip show's premiere date has been pushed to 2026, but that remains unconfirmed. The Y: Marshals spinoff, centered on Luke Grimes' Kayce, debuts on CBS in 2026. Solve the daily Crossword

Taylor Sheridan and Paramount are teaming up to launch a massive new film studio in Texas
'Yellowstone' creator Taylor Sheridan and Paramount are going big in Texas, joining forces to open a 450,000-square-foot production campus in Fort Worth, in a boost to the Lone Star State's growing entertainment economy. The venture, announced Wednesday, comes on the heels of Skydance's $8.4-billion takeover of Paramount and just as Texas has taken major initiatives to encourage more film production, having recently passed legislation increasing its film incentives program to $1.5 billion over the next 10 years. The massive production hub will be situated on the Alliance Texas campus, a 27,000-acre development owned by billionaire Ross Perot Jr.'s Hillwood, a commercial and residential real estate developer and a partner in the project along with Sheridan's and Paramount Television. It will be the largest studio facility in the state, according to officials, and marks another step toward Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick's goal 'to make Texas the Film Capital of the World.' 'We are at a pivotal moment where Texas can become a global force in the film industry, and North Texas offers the location and resources to play a central role in this development,' said Hillwood President Mike Berry in a statement. The film campus is composed of two buildings with six sound stages that can support four large-scale productions simultaneously. It is expected to be the home base for such Sheridan-produced shows as 'Landman' and 'Lioness,' which currently film in Texas. The second season of 'Landman' has been filming at the facility since March. The move also marks a turning point for Sheridan's productions. In recent years, Sheridan, who grew up in Fort Worth, has filmed many of his hit television shows — including '1883' — across the state. His productions have brought in hundreds of millions of dollars to local businesses and a stream of tourists in what some in the industry began calling 'the Sheridan Effect.' 'SGS Studios isn't just about sound stages or incentives — it's about reclaiming the independence and grit that built this industry in the first place,' said Taylor Sheridan in statement about the new project.

Netflix Could Lose ‘Stranger Things' Creators After Season 5 To Paramount+
The world of streaming can be competitive to the point of being cutthroat, and there's a development brewing between Netflix and Paramount that may not go well for the former. Variety reports that Stranger Things creators/showrunners the Duffer Brothers are in 'advanced negotiations' to make movies and shows for Paramount. An existing connection there is that Cindy Holland, Paramount's new streaming head, was the exec who originally greenlit Stranger Things at Netflix, and the rest is history. It wouldn't just be an instant departure. Despite working hard on finishing Stranger Things , the Duffer Brothers have two new series coming in 2026, The Boroughs and Something Very Bad is Going To Happen. There's also an animated Stranger Things feature coming. Rumors of Stranger Things spin-offs have been circulating for a while, and one of those still seems to be in place. But long-term, losing the architects of one of Netflix's most popular series of all time would be less than ideal for them, and it would be a big boon for Paramount+, a service anchored on legacy series and piles of new shows from Yellowstone's Taylor Sheridan like Tulsa King and Landman . Stranger Things will end with season 5 this year with a somewhat ridiculous airing schedule of four episodes airing on November 26, three episode on Christmas Day and the last episode on New Year's Day, as somehow Netflix remains allergic to a true week-to-week offering, opting for these odd breaks instead (currently, Wednesday season 2 is on hiatus until its second half airs in September). We have seen plenty of departures like this before. A recent high profile one was Mike Flanagan, who made such Netflix classics like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass . Now he's over at Amazon doing Carrie and The Dark Tower series. Netflix is clearly looking for its next Stranger Things -sized hit. That show and Squid Game end this year, though fortunately it does have Wednesday to run for the foreseeable future. It does, however, remain the clear, unequivocal powerhouse in the streaming industry. A recent report said Netflix earns more than all its major streaming rivals combined, and its revenue is surging. Even with big shows ending, it keeps producing consistent hits and retaining subscribers. Paramount+, however, has been on the up after adding a number of well-watched series and distancing itself from a service it was once compared to, Peacock, which is losing boatloads of money. Grabbing the Duffer Brothers for new projects would be a big get for Paramount, but this deal is not done yet. Follow me on Twitter , YouTube , and Instagram .
