Hold onto your hats: A Taylor Sheridan show is experiencing some drama behind the scenes.

The showrunner of Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch is exciting the drama ahead of its series premiere next month.

Executive producer and creator Chad Feehan has departed the show, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed.

Showrunners on Sheridan productions tend to be like the ill-fated drummers in This Is Spinal Tap, with several having been replaced over the years.

Dutton Ranch follows Yellowstone fan favorites Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler (Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser).

The logline reads: “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.”

Finn Little returns as their son, Carter. The cast is rounded out by Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca, Natalie Alyn Lind, Ed Harris and Annette Bening.

Dutton Ranch will stream on Paramount+ and air on the Paramount Network beginning May 15, at 8 p.m. with two episodes, and then weekly throughout the nine-episode first season. Dutton Ranch is based on the characters created by executive producers Taylor Sheridan and John Linson.
