"Dutton Ranch" Renewed for Season 2 at Paramount+

There are few surprises in Texas as Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch has been renewed for a second season.

The renewal comes as the show, which stars Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, has two episodes left to stream of its first season.

Dutton Ranch was always likely to be picked up for a second season after Paramount+ claimed that it was the biggest original series launch in its history.

The show may, however, have to search for a new showrunner after the departure of Chad Feehan, who created the spinoff, ahead of its series launch. Not all Taylor Sheridan-produced series have traditional showrunners, though, with some of his titles favoring directors who handle those duties on set.

"Beth and Rip are among the most iconic duos in television history and we are thrilled to bring a whole new world to life with Dutton Ranch for our subscribers around the world", said Jane Wiseman, Head of Originals for Paramount+. "We're also incredibly grateful to our partners, including the teams at Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios, for bringing this new series to life with such grit, heart and authenticity."

"Dutton Ranch has resonated with audiences in a powerful way, building on the legacy of beloved characters, while establishing its own identity", added Matt Thunell, President of Paramount Television Studios. "Thank you to our partners at Paramount+ and 101 Studios for a phenomenal first season. We look forward to bringing fans more stories from these unforgettable characters in Season two."
