As a die-hard fan of the Yellowstone universe who has spent countless hours watching and re-watching episodes, I am absolutely thrilled about the upcoming Rip and Beth spinoff!
Following several months of buzz and excitement, it’s been confirmed: a spinoff featuring Rip and Beth from the hit show Yellowstone is on the horizon. As the end of the fifth season approached, fans were left wondering if Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser would return to their cherished roles. Now, it seems that plans for this series are underway, and based on what’s been shared so far, there are already two strong points in its favor (though I do have some queries).
Rip And Beth Spinoff Quick Facts
Just days before the last episode of the fifth season of Yellowstone is set to air according to the 2024 TV schedule, Deadline has revealed that Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser will be at the helm of a spinoff series. Here’s a summary of what we know so far:
- Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser have reportedly signed deals to return as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler.
- Taylor Sheridan is developing the show.
- It will take place in the present day.
- As of December 11, 2024, Paramount has not confirmed this series.
What The Beth And Rip Yellowstone Spinoff Already Has Going For It
Kelly Reilly And Cole Hauser Are Reprising Their Roles As Beth Dutton And Rip Wheeler
It’s no surprise that Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, who play Beth and Rip on the popular series Yellowstone, are rumored to be taking the lead roles in an upcoming spin-off. Given their powerful characters and the strong connection between them as a beloved couple on the show, this seems like a natural progression for their storylines.
In August 2024, news broke that Yellowstone was reconsidering its decision to conclude at Season 5. This change came about due to discussions between Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser regarding the continuation of their characters beyond these final episodes. At that time, it remained undecided whether this would lead to a sixth season or a spin-off. However, Deadline’s subsequent report confirmed they will return for a sequel series, not another installment of Taylor Sheridan’s primary show.
On several occasions, both actors have been questioned about the potential of this project. In September 2024, Reilly hinted at the possibility of a new storyline for Beth and Rip, stating that if Taylor [Sheridan] decides to write it, she would be interested in participating. Additionally, Hauser expressed his desire for a spinoff, praising his experience working on Yellowstone.
Taylor Sheridan Is Developing The Yellowstone Spinoff
The Deadline article revealing details about Beth and Rip’s upcoming spinoff also hinted that Taylor Sheridan is currently developing the creative aspects for the new series. It was unclear from the report whether he would be both overseeing and writing it, but given his pattern with Yellowstone shows where he takes on both roles, it seems likely.
It appears clear that Taylor Sheridan, the creative force behind shows like Yellowstone, 1923, 1883, Landman, and Lioness (all airing on Paramount+), as well as the mainstay of Season 5B of his flagship drama, is set to take charge of this upcoming series featuring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser.
Questions I Have About The Rip And Beth Spinoff
Where Will It Take Place?
As a devoted fan, I must say that the central dilemma in Yellowstone Season 5 revolves around my beloved characters, Kayce and Beth, trying to safeguard their cherished ranch from Market Equities. In the heart-wrenching finale of Episode 13, Luke Grimes’ character suggested an unconventional solution – giving away the ranch. Looking ahead, I can’t help but speculate that this pivotal situation will decisively shape where Rip and Beth’s upcoming series unfolds.
If Thomas Rainwater inherits the ranch, as I anticipate, he might strike a deal with Beth and Rip to continue residing on the Dutton Ranch. In such a case, the upcoming spinoff series could very well unfold on the legendary Yellowstone land that has long been its backdrop.
If the ranch is lost in the Season 5 finale and they’re forced to leave, an array of possibilities awaits. Could they relocate to Texas or establish a new ranch in Montana? Might Rip venture beyond his usual two-state travels? The potential scenarios are limitless, making it intriguing to see how these events unfold.
Regardless of the location where this series takes place, I’m confident I’ll catch every episode of the upcoming spinoff, as it promises to carry forward the beloved tales of these characters.
Will Anyone Else From The OG Cast Be Involved?
It seems unnecessary to create a new show starring Rip and Beth without some key characters from the original “Yellowstone” series. Fortunately, news about Reilly and Hauser returning suggests that other cast members from the main series may also be involved. At this point, only the two lead actors’ names have been revealed; no other cast members have been officially announced yet.
As for whether Luke Grimes (as Kayce Dutton), Wes Bentley (as Jamie Dutton) and Gil Birmingham (as Thomas Rainwater) will reappear in future episodes, I’m currently unsure. But I remain optimistic about their potential return.
It makes sense that Lloyd and Carter could return, given their close relationships with Beth and Rip. Rip’s longtime friend, played by Forrie J. Smith, is branded as a cowboy, while Finn Little portrays the ranch hand who can be considered as Beth and Rip’s son. As they are characters most connected to the leading duo, it would not be surprising if they were brought back. Moreover, in the second-to-last episode of Yellowstone Season 5, Rip expressed his desire to keep these two on the ranch, even if it changes hands.
It appears that it’s unlikely that only Reilly and Hauser will return for the upcoming show, as the roster of participants remains unclear at this point.
Will Carter Be A Big Part Of This Story Too?
Regarding Finn Little’s character Carter, I’m quite intrigued as to how he will factor into the series. You see, Carter is essentially Rip and Beth’s adopted son, and his background seems to mirror Hauser’s cowboy’s origin tale. It appears that exploring his development and the efforts of his guardians to guide and nurture him could provide a compelling chapter in the ongoing saga of this family.
Will The Series Air On Paramount+?
This topic is a tricky one. Odds are, if you follow Taylor Sheridan’s work, you have noticed that all his shows – including Yellowstone’s spinoffs 1883 and 1923 – are available to stream with a Paramount+ subscription. However, the mothership show is not. The modern Western has spent its whole run airing on the Paramount Network weekly, and it has an exclusive deal with NBC Universal, meaning it’s only steamable with a Peacock subscription. So, that begs the question: Will the Rip and Beth spinoff be available on Paramount’s streaming platform?
According to Deadline’s confirmation, a source hinted at producing a new series starring Rip and Beth instead of a sixth season of Yellowstone. This potential move could allow the fresh narrative to continue on Paramount+.
As a gamer, I’d say it means that keeping the show under Paramount Network would let Paramount Global retain control over it, unlike the flagship series which is already tied to an exclusive streaming deal with NBCUniversal’s Peacock. In simpler terms, this show stays in-house with us, while the original one has been sent off to another streaming platform.
Looking forward to catching up with Rip and Beth alongside their Dutton forebears on Paramount+.
Yellowstone Shows In Order
I’m aware there are several upcoming “Yellowstone” shows on the horizon, one of which focuses on characters Rip and Beth. With this in mind, here is a compiled list of all the forthcoming series, arranged in order, along with some basic details about each that we currently know:
In essence, I’m really looking forward to this upcoming series focusing on Rip and Beth. It’s significant because it will be the first spin-off from Yellowstone to star two main characters from the original show. Given the captivating narrative we’ve grown accustomed to about the Duttons, it’s likely that this new installment will continue their story.
As the series unfolds and new questions emerge, rest assured that we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
