‘Dutton Ranch’ now has a release date, and the next chapter for Beth and Rip is arriving sooner than expected. Paramount has set the ‘Yellowstone’ spinoff to debut on May 15, 2026, with its first two episodes launching on Paramount Plus at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Paramount Network. Thereafter, the series will roll out one episode each week. The first season will run for nine episodes and pick up Beth and Rip’s story after the end of ‘Yellowstone.’
‘Dutton Ranch’ release date and teaser details
Variety reported that the studio also dropped a first teaser and first-look images for ‘Dutton Ranch’ as part of the release announcement. The new footage points to a violent road ahead for Beth and Rip, even after they tried to leave the chaos of Montana behind. According to the official logline shared in the report, “As Beth and Rip fight to build a future together—far from the ghosts of Yellowstone—they collide with brutal new realities and a ruthless rival ranch that will stop at nothing to protect its empire. In South Texas, blood runs deeper, forgiveness is fleeting, and the cost of survival might just be your soul.”The setting marks a clear shift for the franchise. While ‘Yellowstone’ ended with Beth and Rip buying a ranch in Dillon, Montana, ‘Dutton Ranch’ moves the action to South Texas, where the pair face a new threat and a fresh fight for survival. The teaser makes that tension clear fast, with Beth and Rip again pulled into a world shaped by violence, land battles, and hard choices.
