Collider
Television's angriest couple is coming back to us in just a few weeks, and this is fantastic news for fans of romance, black eyes, broken legs, torture, trauma, threats, leaving bodies in plain sight, and cowboy hats. Who wouldn't want a feast from one of Taylor Sheridan's best productions? The answer to the question Yellowstone fans have been wondering for years is almost here. Dutton Ranch will globally premiere on Paramount+ on Friday, May 15, starting with its first two episodes. The series will also begin airing on Paramount Network on May 15 at 8:00 PM ET/PT, continuing weekly thereafter.
This is not just a continuation of Yellowstone's bloody finale. No, this time the action moves to Texas, where Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser's characters, Beth and Rip, face new enemies and incredible sunsets. The first season will consist of nine episodes, with new episodes airing every Friday following the two-part premiere. The official synopsis reads: "As Beth and Rip fight to build a future away from the ghosts of Yellowstone, they clash with a ruthless new reality and a merciless ranch operator willing to sacrifice everything to protect his empire. In South Texas, blood runs deeper, forgiveness is rare, and the price of survival may be your soul."
The series is created by Chad Feehan based on characters developed by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson. Feehan also serves as the showrunner, while Christina Alexandra Voros has directed multiple episodes, including the premiere and finale. Voros is quite experienced in the Sheridan universe, having directed all six episodes of The Madison.
