7 actors we’re excited to see join the ‘Yellowstone’ franchise
It follows the Dutton family, owners of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, the largest cattle ranch in Montana, while exploring conflicts
involving family dynamics, the neighboring Broken Rock Indian Reservation, Yellowstone National Park, and land developers.

The flagship series premiered in 2018, inspired by Sheridan’s experiences in rural Montana, Wyoming, and Texas. Originally pitched as a film, it was developed into a full television series and ran for five seasons, concluding in November 2024 following Kevin Costner’s departure.
The franchise has since expanded with prequels 1883 and 1923, and spin-offs including The Madison, Y: Marshals, and Dutton Ranch. Additional projects, such as 6666 and 1944, are being developed, further extending the Yellowstone universe.
Fans of the Yellowstone franchise have plenty to look forward to as new faces join the saga. From seasoned veterans to rising stars, these additions promise dynamic interactions with the beloved Dutton family, keeping viewers eagerly anticipating what is next.

Known for performances in Stargate, Escape from New York, Fast & Furious, and the MCU as Ego, he is also celebrated for his portrayal of Wyatt Earp in Tombstone, making him a natural fit for the Yellowstone universe.
Russell is set to appear in The Madison, a Yellowstone spin-off following a family from New York relocating to Montana. While details about his character remain under wraps, fans are eager to see what role Russell will take on and how he will leave his mark on the Sheridanverse.
Logan Marshall-Green has appeared in a variety of notable projects. He played Charlie Holloway in Prometheus, a key entry in the Alien franchise, and portrayed Trey Atwood, Ryan’s troubled brother, in the teen drama The O.C.. He also appeared briefly in the Marvel universe as Jackson Brice in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Often cast as the edgy or unpredictable type, Marshall-Green brings that same energy to Yellowstone’s orbit with his role as Pete Calvin, a military man tied to Kayce Dutton’s past.
Pete is one of Kayce’s old comrades, suggesting he, too, is a retired Navy SEAL and possibly a U.S. Marshal. As Kayce’s friend, he is expected to show toughness, recklessness, and loyalty, the kind of layered character Marshall-Green has built his career on.
Annette Bening has had a long and acclaimed presence in film and theater, earning multiple Academy Award and Tony nominations along with Golden Globe wins. Over the years, she’s become celebrated for bringing vulnerability and strength to her roles.
Audiences remember her as Carolyn Burnham in American Beauty, a performance that combined emotion and heartbreak, and in films like Being Julia and The Kids Are All Right. She also shared the screen with Kevin Costner in the Western Open Range.
In Dutton Ranch, Harris joins Annette Bening in leading the ensemble. He will portray Everett McKinney, who is described as a seasoned veteran and veterinarian who cares for animals.
While details about Beulah are still limited, anticipation is high for her scenes opposite Kelly Reilly, with fans eager to see how Bening’s presence elevates the series.
