According to Paramount+ , season 1 amassed 12.9 million viewers globally in its first seven days following the Yellowstone spinoff's premiere, making it the biggest original series launch in the streamer's history. But having nailed so many aspects of Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip's (Cole Hauser) new
life in Rio Paloma, the numbers make complete sense. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

But with Dutton Ranch season 2 now official, what do we know about its development so far? Dutton Ranch season 2 release window predictions (Image credit: Paramount) Currently, there's no confirmed word on when Dutton Ranch season 2 will air. However, it wouldn't be surprising for it to adopt the production of other Taylor Sheridan-produced shows like Landman , which gives us a rough guess.

The best-case scenario is that season 2 will film in late 2026, bringing episodes to the small screen in the first half of 2027. However, we could easily be left waiting until the latter half of the year, too. Dutton Ranch season 2 trailer: is there one? Don't be silly. It took us until early May 2026 to get one for season 1, so expect the first full trailer to arrive around two weeks before the second season does. Get daily insight,

While no specific plot points have been confirmed (and likely won't be for a while), it makes sense for Dutton Ranch season 2 to pick up exactly where the season 1 finale left off. What to read next Dutton Ranch stars confirm heavy Taylor Sheridan involvement in Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch season 2 and more deserve to be made says Yellowstone spinoff star Dutton Ranch star claims no disruption on set following Chad Feehan/Taylor Sheridan clash rumors

Obviously, there are quite a few questions that need answering here. The most pressing is whether Carter will survive his kidnapping, and whether Beth and Rip can get to him before anything bad happens.

Then we'll have the fallout of Rob-Will's death, which will definitely have messed with Joaquin's mind. This is also going to affect Mariano's standing
in the 10 Petal business, arguably likely to see even more power than he had before.

Beulah, meanwhile, has absolutely nothing to her name. She needs to grieve Rob-Will, but Everett wants nothing to do with her, so her next moves cannot be immediately guessed.

Then, there's Oreana. Will she keep the baby? Will Beth be there to support her? And will Rio Paloma ever be the same again?

However, because there's set to be a change in showrunner (more on that below), a major shift in narrative tone and/or direction can't be ruled out. We'll know more on this once a replacement has been announced. Who will take over as Dutton Ranch showrunner? (Image credit: Paramount+) As you might have heard, season 1 showrunner Chad Feehan exited the series a few weeks before its launch, after alleged on-set tension with Reilly, Hauser, and executive producer Taylor Sheridan.

Industry rumors have suggested that another writer would take over as lead showrunner, but this has so far been unconfirmed.

Sheridan has not directly led a Yellowstone spinoff since 1883 and 1923 , but you can read more about why he'd be my ideal choice (because I won't stop going on about it). Today's best Paramount Plus deals Paramount Plus Premium
