The Yellowstone Beth and Rip spinoff, tentatively titled The Dutton Ranch, has added Jai Courtney to the cast.

Courtney will play a character called Rob-Will, “an imposing, unpredictable ranch foreman,” according to Variety. Courtney is known for roles in the Suicide Squad movies, Dangerous Animals, The Terminal List, and more.

 

 

Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser set to reprise their roles as the franchise’s favorite couple. Their “adopted” son, Carter (Finn Little), is also coming back. And as previously announced, Ed Harris and Annette Bening will also star.

“Beth Dutton (Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Hauser) are grateful for the peace they sought, fought, and nearly died for with their 7,000-acre Dutton Ranch,” the series description reads. “With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter (Little) becomes the man he’s supposed to be.”

 

 

Here’s everything there is to know so far about The Dutton Ranch.

Bening is joining the series, which now has a working title of The Dutton Ranch (a name Hauser previously said was not the show’s official title) and Chad Feehan (Lawmen: Bass Reeves) as showrunner, Deadline reported on August 25. Bening’s character description seems to confirm reports that the spinoff could be set in Texas.

Bening plays Beulah Jackson, “the powerful, cunning and charming head of a major ranch in Texas.” This marks Bening’s second TV series. Her first was 2024’s Apples Never Fall on Peacock.

Harris will play Everett McKinney, a weathered veteran and veterinarian who treats animals with compassion and understanding, and possesses a good sense of humor, Deadline reported on September 3.

No further details about Courtney’s character have been shared.

Bening and Yellowstone star Kevin Costner attended the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE)’s 72nd Annual Golden Reel Awards on February 23, 2025 in Los Angeles, California (see below).

Beth and Rip settled on a new ranch in Montana in the Yellowstone series finale that was just a few hours away from the former Yellowstone Dutton Ranch and about 45 minutes outside of Dillon. It might not be likely that we’ll see a bunch of Yellowstone faces in this new show. But appearances from the original cast are reportedly possible, per Deadline, if the characters survived Yellowstone‘s bloody final season.
