"I’m very excited for the world to see 'Dutton Ranch,'" EP and director Christina Alexandra Voros tells THR of the Beth and Rip spinoff. (Left: Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton in 'Dutton Ranch'; right: Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton in 'Marshals.') Paramount+; CBS Logo text The Yellowstone-verse got hit with a jolt of excitement when it released a first look at Dutton Ranch, the spinoff series that will return Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler to TV this spring.
A release date and teaser trailer for the Paramount+ series with Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, respectively, reprising their fan-favorite Yellowstone couple came on Monday, one day after the latest episode of Marshals, which stars Beth’s only surviving sibling, Kayce, played by Luke Grimes.
Marshals is a runaway hit for CBS. The drama that launched with a major twist death airs weekly and repeated for two weeks as the top series on network or streaming in cross-platform ratings — earning a quick season two renewal from the network. And if interest in the Dutton Ranch first look is any indication, the Paramount+ spinoff is sure to be another hit for Yellowstone mastermind Taylor Sheridan when it releases on May 15 with a two-episode premiere.

Marshals showrunner Spencer Hudnut recently told The Hollywood Reporter that the summer before flagship series Yellowstone signed off with its series finale, in December 2024, David Glasser at 101 Studios and Keith Cox at Paramount began exploring how they could continue Sheridan’s mega-hit franchise.
“David did start the conversation by asking, ‘Would you rather watch a spinoff about Kayce Dutton or Beth Dutton?’ And, because he’s David Glasser, he, of course, will have both shows on the air,” said Hudnut.
Marshals has a 13-episode season that concludes on May 24, while Dutton Ranch‘s nine-episode first season wraps on July 3. With both surviving Dutton siblings having overlapping weeks back on television, THR wanted to know if the stakeholders plan to feature the other Dutton on their series.
“If the stars aligned, that would be pretty cool to have Beth and Rip in our world,” Marshals boss Hudnut tells THR. “Luke [Grimes] and I have talked about it in the past. I think it’s really just having these two productions and trying to figure that out that would be the challenge.”
Dutton Ranch was filmed in and around North Texas beginning in August 2025 and wrapped earlier this March. Marshals also filmed from mid-2025 through the end of the year, but in Utah. Dutton Ranch‘s story is set in Texas, while Marshals plays out in Montana.
“I certainly think the Yellowstone audience deserves seeing Kayce and his sister together, again, at some point,” agreed Hednut of the possibility of seeing Beth at some point. “They ended Yellowstone at a really good place, and they both have lost so much family that it would seem like their bond would be even stronger than ever.”
Christina Alexandra Voros, an executive producer on Dutton Ranch who directed multiple episodes, including the premiere and finale, shares the excitement. “There’s so much potential in having all of these spinoffs in the universe, you would love to see what could come of that,” she said when speaking to THR recently for The Madison, the Sheridan drama starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell that recently released its six-episode first season. “Everything is sort of its own satellite in a way. But I’m down for synergy.”
Voros, who has directed many episodes of Yellowstone, said that working on Dutton Ranch felt like being back at the Yellowstone ranch. Much of the crew came from Yellowstone, and next will travel along with her to Sheridan’s Tulsa King spinoff series, Frisco King. “Kelly and Cole always feel like going home for me. We have been through so many battles together, they’re like a brother and sister to me,” she said. “I feel so lucky to be able to continue to tell stories with them.”
Meanwhile, Yellowstone ghosts will continue to haunt Kayce as Marshals continues, including the sins of his family — which very much involve Beth and Rip. “Given how successful and how popular that show was, and just the richness of Kayce’s backstory and the Dutton backstory — and we’re still in Montana; he’s still on the same ranch that he was all of Yellowstone, in a corner of it — it would be really foolish to turn our back on that,” Hednut previously told THR about keeping Yellowstone lore in Marshals. “We will always have that connective tissue to Yellowstone. It’s what makes the show unique, so I think we will always try to service that. Between Rainwater [played by Gil Birmingham] and Mo [played by Mo Brings Plenty] and Kayce, I would be foolish to not continue to tap into that.”
