We’ve now firmly entered a new chapter when it comes to the Yellowstone universe. The original series may have ended back in 2024, but we are now following the characters on their own, new journeys, in multiple spin-offs.
One of these, Marshals, debuted earlier this year and is continuing to air episodes weekly, while another, Dutton Ranch is only just getting started.
The first two episodes of Dutton Ranch are available to watch right now, with the series following Kelly Reilly’s Beth and Cole Hauser’s Rip following the events of the Yellowstone finale.
The duo enter this new chapter hoping for a happy, peaceful existence, but Reilly has told Radio Times that “happiness is an evasive thing”.
“It’s not like something that you suddenly land on and keep, and I think that’s what I was sort of leaning into,” she said.
“In the seasons of Yellowstone, there were moments of Beth talking about wanting to be left alone, and how when Rip took her riding and she says, ‘All I want is a meadow, whiskey and you’, and so I sort of clung on to the things that felt incredibly simple to Beth and true to her heart, and to then give her those things and then watch her find out if that actually does mean happiness.
“But ultimately, she’s meeting herself. She’s just lost her father. There is a woman who is living a new life and living a new part of herself. ‘Who am I without this fight? Who am I without my father?’ And I liked the uncertainty and ambiguity in her for that. It was a new side of her that I hadn’t got to play or see before, and that felt authentic and true.”
The next episode of Dutton Ranch will see Beth continuing to size up to Annette Bening’s Beulah, but when will it be available to watch on Paramount+?
Read on for a full rundown of its release schedule.
When will Dutton Ranch episode 3 be out on Parmount+?
Dutton Ranch episode 3, titled Act of God Business, will be released on Paramount+ on Friday 22 May 2026, and sees Beth continue to size up new foe Beulah, played by Annette Bening.
But despite finding themselves on opposing sides, Reilly explained that “they actually have a lot in common”.
“She’s a daughter of one of the biggest land owners in Texas, so she has her own legacy that she is protecting,” the actor told Radio Times. “And so Beth understands her, she just does things differently. So they sort of sniff around each other a little bit, and there is actually this odd respect.
“But Beth has no interest in legacy anymore. She has interest in protecting the things and the people that she loves. But they [rival families] need each other, and that’s where the story goes out and we lean into how these two families, the Dutton-Wheelers, Beth and Rip and Carter and the Jacksons, they kind of need one another. And they’re basically neighbours, so it’s still up for grabs of whether or not they’re going to work together.”
Reilly went on to tease “lots of secrets” that will naturally come into play.
“There’s lots of things that we don’t know about them, and they don’t know about us, so there’s a lot of intrigue. But Beulah and Beth are going to come up against each other, big time.”
