Establishing yourself in new surroundings can be challenging, especially if you’ve got green-eyed neighbors looking to make your life hell as you attempt to settle. For Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), moving to South Texas is not the dream they hoped it would be. In today’s trailer for Dutton Ranch, we find Beth and Rip defending their new ranch from bloodthirsty strangers with bad reputations. Everything’s on fire, and there’s no end to the violence as one emergency after the next gallops into their already complicated lives.
Today’s trailer previews events unfolding after the May 15 premiere of Chad Feehan and Taylor Sheridan‘s Dutton Ranch, a Yellowstone spinoff coming to Paramount+ with a two-episode launch.
The Dutton Ranch trailer finds Beth and Rip surveying their new surroundings in Rio Paloma. However, the couple’s peace doesn’t last long as a diabolical duo, played by Ed Harris and Annette Bening, threatens more than Beth and Rip’s livelihood as they attempt to adjust to a new life with their son Carter (Finn Little). In addition to Reilly, Hauser, Harris, and Bening, Dutton Ranch stars Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca, and Natalie Alyn Lind.
Here’s the official logline for Dutton Ranch: “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.”
For years, I didn’t vibe with Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe. However, when the opportunity to cover Mayor of Kingstown and The Madison came about, I started seeing the extensive franchise‘s appeal. Not every show is to my taste, but I’m genuinely interested in checking out Dutton Ranch when it moseys onto Paramount+. Sometimes, it’s good to take a chance on things that don’t align with your usual tastes. I take that approach with novels all the time (I am reading the saddest novel right now, Cleo Dang Would Rather Be Dead, by Mai Nguyen), so why not apply the same logic to TV shows?
