Two weeks ago, Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser’s Yellowstone spin-off, Dutton Ranch, left fans on the edge of their seats, fearing for the fate of a beloved main character.
The eventful Episode 9, “El Padrino,” saw Joaquin’s (Juan Pablo Raba) father, Mariano (Raoul Max Trujillo), return to Rio Paloma, revealed a shocking death, featured an epic Dutton Ranch shootout, and left off on a jaw-dropping cliffhanger that showed Carter (Finn Little) getting kidnapped by the cartel.
With so many loose ends, viewers are sure to have a long list of burning Dutton Ranch questions. Will Beth (Reilly) and Rip (Hauser) rescue Carter? Will the Sheridan-verse give fans the epic Dutton Ranch and Marshals crossover they crave? What will be the aftermath of the Jackson family’s major loss? And crucially, when will we start getting some answers?
Is Dutton Ranch on tonight, Friday, July 17? Is Dutton Ranch Season 1 over, or will there be an Episode 10 of Dutton Ranch? And when will Season 2 of Dutton Ranch come out? Here’s everything we know about the future of the hit Western drama.

We look forward to bringing fans more stories from these unforgettable characters in Season 2.”
When Does Dutton Ranch Season 2 Come Out?
Since Dutton Ranch Season 1 just wrapped, there’s no official Dutton Ranch Season 2 premiere date on the books yet. And though we still have a little PTSD from the almost two-year gap between Yellowstone Season 5, Part 1 and Part 2, the fact that Dutton Ranch has already found a new showrunner is a promising sign. (More on this below!)
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Reilly confirmed, “We’re slated to start early 2027 to film. But the room starts up pretty quick. I think we’re going to be very much involved in the room, so the next sort of six months is all about writing it.”
If all goes according to plan, we could hopefully get new episodes of Dutton Ranch in 2027, but stay tuned for more updates!
Dutton Ranch Showrunner Change: Benjamin Cavell Is Taking The Reins

Will There Be A Dutton Ranch And Marshals Crossover?
If you’ve watched both Yellowstone spinoffs, Dutton Ranch and the Luke Grimes-led Marshals, you know that both Season 1 finales set the stage for an epic crossover event. You can read all about why here, but essentially Marshals Season 1 ended on May 24 with Kayce’s son, Tate, in danger after unknowingly hopping a plane to Texas with Season 1 antagonist Tom Weaver (Chris Mulkey). And Dutton Ranch Season 1 ended on July 3 with the cartel kidnapping Beth and Rip’s son Carter.
When asked if the similar endings — which theoretically meant both boys would be kidnapped in Texas — were planned, Reilly reportedly smiled and told TV Insider, “Maybe.” So it sounds like a Beth and Kayce reunion could be a very real possibility. Read Decider’s full Dutton Ranch/Marshals crossover breakdown for more comments from Reilly and Hauser.
