‘Dutton Ranch’ is heading back to North Texas after season 2 renewal

“Dutton Ranch” is coming back for another rodeo.

Paramount+ announced Wednesday that the “Yellowstone” spinoff has been renewed for a second season. The news comes just a couple of days before the show’s penultimate episode releases on Friday, June 26.

“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,” said Jane Wiseman, head of originals for Paramount+, in a press release. “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.”

“Dutton Ranch” has been a big hit for the streamer, racking up 12.9 millions viewers globally in the week following the May 15 premiere.

The show also earned 2.9 million total viewers during its two-episode debut on the Paramount Network on the same day in May. This is the biggest series premiere on cable since 2023, according to the network.

“‘Dutton Ranch’ has resonated with audiences in a powerful way, building on the legacy of beloved characters, while establishing its own identity,” said Matt Thunell, President of Paramount Television Studios, in a press release. “Thank you to our partners at Paramount+ and 101 Studios for a phenomenal first season. We look forward to bringing fans more stories from these unforgettable characters in season 2.”
