Fans eagerly awaiting updates on the "Yellowstone" universe can finally rejoice, as the long-anticipated continuation centered on Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, titled "The Dutton Ranch," is not only moving forward but is also well into production with an expanding scope. Filming for "The Dutton Ranch" commenced in August, making it one of several Taylor Sheridan-created projects currently in production in and around Fort Worth, Texas, according to local reports. This marks a particularly busy period for Sheridan, whose projects in the region also include "Lioness Season 3," "The Madison Season 2" (with its first season yet to air), and "Landman," which is nearing the halfway point of its second season on Paramount+.

A significant creative update for "The Dutton Ranch" is the growing cast. Alongside the returning stars Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton and Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler, the series has recently added Jai Courtney in a key role as another rancher. These new additions join previously announced heavyweight ensemble members Ed Harris and Annette Bening, ensuring a strong cast from the outset. The official logline for "The Dutton Ranch" describes Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler as grateful for the peace they fought and nearly died for on their 7,000-acre Dutton Ranch. They must navigate tough times and stiff competition to survive, all while guiding Carter to become the man he is meant to be.

Beyond "The Dutton Ranch," the "Yellowstone" saga continues with another spin-off. Following the conclusion of the main "Yellowstone" series last year, which left only two Dutton children alive, Kacey Dutton (played by Luke Grimes) has also received his own continuation. This spin-off is titled "Y: Marshals." Its official logline states: "With the Yellowstone Ranch behind him, Dutton joins an elite unit of U.S. Marshals, combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence." This new procedural series will see Kayce attempting to balance his new role with raising a family.

Franchise mastermind Taylor Sheridan is returning to executive produce both "The Dutton Ranch" and "Y: Marshals," ensuring continuity and his signature storytelling. While "Y: Marshals" is set to premiere on CBS midseason, airing on Sundays, a premiere date for "The Dutton Ranch" has not yet been announced. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for further information regarding the release of this highly anticipated series.
