Taylor Sheridan‘s Yellowstone spinoff, Dutton Ranch, continues the saga of Beth and Rip as they make their way to Texas after a raging fire devastates their beloved home. Grieving the loss of their Montana homestead and desperate to set up shop in a place that doesn’t feel like another planet, Beth and Rip wheel, deal, and bury secrets to get everything back on track. Joining Kelly Riley (Beth) and Cole Hauser (Rip) for Dutton Ranch are Finn Little as the couple’s adoptive son, Carter, Natalie Alyn Lind as Oreana, Carter’s love interest and rebel without a cause, Juan Pablo Raba as Joaquin, a problem solver under Annette Bening’s ruthless Beulha Jackson, and Marc Menchaca as Zachariah, a former prisoner looking to make amends.
Recently, we spoke with Little, Lind, Raba, and Menchaca about their respective roles, moesying over to Dutton Ranch, and helping to build Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe through an ambitious spinoff.
While speaking with Little and Lind, I found out whether the duo considers themselves country folk or city folk, and the answer could surprise you. We also talk about Little’s journey from Yellowstone to Dutton Ranch and discover what the pair get up to in their downtime on set.
While discussing Dutton Ranch with Raba and Menchaca, we talk about Raba’s approach to playing a fix-it man for a dastardly villain, and Menchaca’s history with running his own ranch.
Alex Maidy reviewed Dutton Ranch for JoBlo, saying the series “falls prey to the same issue as the Marshals. Both series are developed from shared DNA, but neither series is what came before it. Both shows are in desperate need of Taylor Sheridan’s oversight, as he delivers his best work when he serves as the sole writer or director. Dutton Ranch may have some stronger episodes in the five entries I have yet to see, but this series does not have anything that jumps out to grab you in the same way that Tulsa King or Landman do. There is not much levity in Dutton Ranch, with the brutal nature and live-or-death stakes of running a cattle ranch resulting in some truly hard-to-watch moments.”
