Dutton Ranch is set in a fictional South Texas city of Rio Paloma. Building on characters originally created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, the series picks up a year after Yellowstone ends with Beth and Rip buying a ranch in Dillon, Mont.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs Beth and Rip fight to build a future together \u2014 far from the ghosts of Yellowstone \u2014 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,\u201d reads the show\u2019s official logline.<\/p>\n

Just these sort of legendary actors who I\u2019ve always of admired,\u201d Reilly said during an appearance on the BBC\u2019s The One Show<\/a> on Tuesday. \u201cBeth and Rip were sort of king and queen of their world in Yellowstone, and then they lose everything and they have to start again.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018Dutton Ranch\u2019 showrunner exits ahead of Season 1 premiere J.R. Villarreal, Reilly and Hauser in Dutton Ranch.<\/p>\n (Emerson Miller\/Paramount+)<\/p>\n If Dutton Ranch has more than one season, the network will have to hire a new showrunner. Season one showrunner Chad Feehan, who is also credited as the show\u2019s creator, will not return for a second season<\/a> should Dutton Ranch be renewed. Feehan exited the series just weeks before its scheduled premiere.<\/p>\n Reilly, Hauser, Sheridan and 101 Studios, the company producing Dutton Ranch, were reportedly dissatisfied with how Feehan handled the production upon completing the first season, according to a Puck story<\/a> published in late April.<\/p>\n A new era for the Dutton clan Reilly in Dutton Ranch.<\/p>\n (Emerson Miller\/Paramount+)<\/p>\n As for the overarching theme of Dutton Ranch? Hauser recently told TV Insider<\/a> that it\u2019s all about family \u2014 and the power couple coming together as a team.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s about creating a family of their own for the first time and leaning on each other for support, love and friendship \u2014 all the things you hope you\u2019d see in a small family trying to pick up the pieces and find a way to not only survive but get along in a new environment,\u201d Hauser said.<\/p>\n Dutton Ranch also marks a new chapter for Beth Dutton.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a different era \u2014 I had hit my quota of the younger Beth,\u201d Reilly told the Sunday Times<\/a> in January. \u201cBut there is a lot of why the audience fell in love with her. Beth was unrelenting, dangerous and could easily have been written as a man \u2014 people were very critical at the start.\u201d<\/p>\n Did you know \u2026<\/p>\n Dutton Ranch is set and filmed in Texas, unlike Yellowstone, which primarily took place in Montana. If you\u2019re missing the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, you can still visit it. The real-life ranch used to film scenes in Yellowstone is actually the Chief Joseph Ranch<\/a>, located in Darby, Mont., a few hours from Yellowstone National Park.<\/p>\n With its 2,500 acres, Chief Joseph Ranch is a working cattle ranch owned and operated by Shane and Angela Libel. The land, which served as the primary filming location for the Dutton family home in Yellowstone from 2017 until the show\u2019s conclusion in 2024, was purchased by the Libels in 2012.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s extraordinarily humbling: sitting in my living room watching this show that is filmed in my house, and the show is watched by millions and millions of people worldwide,\u201d Shane Libel told TV Insider<\/a>. \u201cI sit there and realize that, to millions of people, my house is quintessential Montana.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
