This ‘Dutton Ranch’ Tease Has ‘Yellowstone’ Fans Spiraling
Yellowstone has been off the air since 2024, but fans of the Dutton family drama suddenly have a lot to talk about. More than 9 million viewers tuned in to see Luke Grimes step back into Kayce Dutton’s boots for the premiere of Marshals. And now things are starting to heat up for fans of Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler.
The second episode of Marshals gave viewers a hint at what Rip might be up to. When Kayce and his son Tate were talking, Tate asked who would look after their East Camp ranch, and Kayce replied, “Rip found some hands ’til I can find a more permanent solution.”
Beth and Rip’s spinoff has been filming in Texas, and, while Paramount has not officially confirmed any details, we expect it to premiere in 2026. We do know that the series will be called Dutton Ranch, and Beth Reilly and Cole Hauser will return to their roles, and they’ll be joined by Finn Little (Carter). Annette Bening and Ed Harris have also been confirmed as costars.
Last week, the official Instagram account for Yellowstone prequel 1923 became the official account for Dutton Ranch, with the note that “We were previously known as 1923 and will now be Dutton Ranch, coming soon to @paramountplus 👀.” The message was paired with a moody, nondescript photo of some livestock. Not much to go on, we know.
Then on March 9, the account posted another photo, this time debuting the all-new Dutton Ranch brand on a white barn door. The caption says, simply, “NEW BRAND.”

Fans flooded the comments section. One wrote, “need this show more than i need to breathe at this point” and another commented, “LETS GOOO😭🥹 what a beautiful brand. Now don’t be shy besties, give us a release date, a trailer, a reason to live….”
Is it possible that we’ll see a Marshals/Dutton Ranch crossover? Marshals showrunner Spencer Hudnut gave us a nugget of hope. “We have a couple of characters who will pop up this season who are from [the ‘Yellowstone’] universe,” he told TVLine. “You know, Kayce still has a sister and brother-in-law who are out there, so, that’s always potentially on the horizon. I don’t know how we would make all that work.”
We’ll just be here obsessing until there are more details!
