As its nine-episode first season continues to air weekly, Paramount+ has officially confirmed that Yellowstone spin-off Dutton Ranch has been renewed for a second season.
This should hardly be a surprise – the series has been a huge ratings hit for the platform, amassing 12.9 million viewers globally in the 7 days following its premiere to become the biggest original series launch in the streamer’s history.
The series has been following Kelly Reilly’s Beth Dutton and Cole Hauser’s Rip Wheeler, as they have been fighting to build a future together in South Texas.
On the news of the show’s renewal, Jane Wiseman, head of originals for Paramount+, said in a statement: “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.
“We’re also incredibly grateful to our partners, including the teams at Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios, for bringing this new series to life with such grit, heart and authenticity.”
