After Yellowstone season 5B ends, Beth Dutton and hubby Rip Wheeler are moving on to greener pastures: a spinoff. Deadline is reporting that Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser have just signed on to star in new series focusing on the couple. Other main cast members are suspected to also be making the jump to this new show. Maybe Beth and Rip’s really cool new friend Travis?
So if Beth and Rip and Kayce and Trav and other main Yellowstone characters are coming to the new series, and as Deadline says, the story from Yellowstone will probably also carry over to the new show, what exactly is different? Streaming rights! Yellowstone has a deal to stream on Peacock, while a new show could stream on Paramount+. This new show also wouldn’t exist under the specter of Kevin Costner and the drama of his exit from Yellowstone. It’s an ingenious scheme, one that could finally save the Dutton Ranch for good. Or at least for another few seasons of plot twists. Meanwhile, the season (series?) finale of Yellowstone prime airs December 15.
