Yellowstone spinoff with Beth and Rip confirmed featuring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser

The Yellowstone franchise continues its legacy with a new spinoff featuring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. Sources close to the production confirmed the project, marking the next chapter in the Yellowstone saga. Paramount has yet to comment officially on the development.

The announcement follows speculation surrounding the conclusion of Yellowstone’s fifth season, which featured the dramatic exit of Kevin Costner’s character, John Dutton. The final episodes of the series, described as both "shocking and fated" by executive producer Christina Alexandra Voros, will serve as a bridge to the spinoff.

The upcoming series will retain "Yellowstone" in its title, offering fans continuity while also being classified as a new project. This strategy allows Paramount to host the spinoff exclusively on its streaming platform, diverging from the original series, which airs on Paramount Network and streams on Peacock.

Voros shared insights into the creative process, praising co-creator Taylor Sheridan’s ability to craft an ending that respects the characters’ journeys. She hinted that the final episodes of season five would bring closure while setting the stage for the spinoff.

Yellowstone, known for its gripping family dynamics and sweeping Western landscapes, has cemented its place as a cultural phenomenon. The spinoff featuring Beth and Rip is expected to maintain the franchise’s compelling storytelling and provide fans with a deeper exploration of these beloved characters.
