The Yellowstone world is always expanding – but Dutton Ranch brings back fan favourites for their own, new story.

While past spin-offs, including 1883 and 1923, focused on the past, Taylor Sheridan’s cowboy universe will next take a ride over to life with Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler.

As one of the most beloved couples to appear on the original Yellowstone, Beth and Rip’s story is set to continue after leaving Montana and heading to Texas.

But nothing in their lives is ever easy, and soon they’re set to meet new friends and enemies as they try to put the past behind them.

Here’s everything you need to know…

What is the plot of Dutton Ranch?

In Dutton Ranch, Beth and Rip have moved to South Texas, where they hope to put the ghosts of Yellowstone behind them forever.

However, as they fight to build a future together, they find themselves going head-to-head with a rival ranch that is determined to defend its empire.

According to the official synopsis: “In South Texas, blood runs deeper, forgiveness is fleeting, and the cost of survival might just be your soul.”

Good job these two aren’t people to mess with – and aren’t likely to fold under the pressure.

Let the fun begin.
