Summary

  • 12.9 million global viewers watched “Dutton Ranch” in its first seven days, helping Paramount+ renew the “Yellowstone” spinoff for a second season before the July 3 Season 1 finale.
  • That audience made the series the streamer’s biggest original launch ever, giving Paramount+ a clear ratings basis for extending Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler’s South Texas story.
  • Chad Feehan, who created the show and served as Season 1 showrunner and executive producer, will not return for Season 2.
  • Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser are set to continue starring, but Paramount+ has not announced a Season 2 premiere date or plot details.
