The legacy of "Dutton Ranch" will continue another year as CBS and Paramount greenlight the smash hit for a new season.
"Dutton Ranch" came out of the gate on the shoulders of its predecessor, "Yellowstone," with the story of Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler starting over in South Texas.
Very quickly though, the show showed its power as the largest launch of a Paramount+ original series with 12.9 million viewers in just the first week, the network claims.
“Beth and Rip are among the most iconic duos in television history and we are thrilled to bring a whole new world to life with Dutton Ranch for our subscribers around the world,” said Jane Wiseman, Head of Originals for Paramount+.
The show's rookie season will come to an end on Friday, July 3, with the announcement coming just before the season's penultimate episode.

When is 'Dutton Ranch' season 2 coming out?
Though season 2 of "Dutton Ranch" is greenlit, no premiere date has been confirmed yet.
Officials with Paramount and Paramount+ said they hope to continue the couple's stories into season two and continue to establish their own identity outside of the flagship plotline from "Yellowstone."

While officials and "Yellowstone" creator Taylor Sheridan are ready for a second season, the show will need to find a new showrunner and executive producer.
Creator of "Dutton Ranch" Chad Feehan departed from the project before the first episode aired, yet continued to be listed as creator. Feehan wrote the premiere episode and co-wrote episode seven.
When is the finale of 'Dutton Ranch?'
"Dutton Ranch" will end its first season on July 3, 2026.
The finale will be directed by Emmy Award-winning director Christina Alexandra Voros, who has directed 12 episodes of "Yellowstone."
What is 'Dutton Ranch' about?
"Dutton Ranch" is the sequel and spinoff of "Yellowstone," the Taylor Sheridan-created smash hit that aired on Paramount Network from 2018 to 2024.
Paramount describes "Dutton Ranch" as the following:
"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."
"Dutton Ranch" stars Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly, who reprise their roles as Beth and Rip. They are joined by Ed Harris ("Appaloosa"), Annette Bening ("American Beauty"), Finn Little ("Yellowstone"), Juan Pablo Raba ("Six"), Jai Courtney ("Terminator Genisys"), J.R. Villarreal ("Spare Parts"), Marc Menchaca ("Ozark") and Natalie Alyn Lind ("The Goldbergs").
