"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 head of originals for Paramount+, Jane Wiseman,

"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."

After drawing in 12.9 million viewers globally in the 7 days following its premiere, which saw it clinch the crown for the biggest original series launch in the streamer's history, no surprises there.

"Dutton Ranch has resonated with audiences in a powerful way, building on the legacy of beloved characters, while establishing its own identity," added president of Paramount Television Studios, Matt Thunell.

"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."

That news comes in the same week that Rip Dutton's replacement – or replacements, we should say – as enforcer and ranch foreman were also revealed.

JR Villarreal's Azul and Hart Denton's Chet have stepped up, with the former taking on more traditional ranch-hand duties, while Chet will be more closely filling the enforcer role, not afraid to cross lines and embrace the darker side of ranch life.

Azul will be managing the Dutton Ranch alongside Marc Menchaca's Zachariah, someone with a hardened past and experience operating in morally murky situations.

So, plenty going on, then – and plenty more to come.

What is Dutton Ranch about?

A blonde woman and a bearded man wearing a black cowboy hat stand closely together outdoors in a rural setting at golden hour. The woman rests one hand on the man’s chest while both look off into the distance with serious, concerned expressions. The man is dressed in a black button-up shirt, jeans, and a large belt buckle, giving a classic rancher or cowboy look. Soft-focus trees and grazing cattle appear in the background.

After heading to Montana at the end of Yellowstone, Rip and Beth Dutton are now "gambling everything on a new life in South Texas".

"But the promise of building a future far from the ghosts of Yellowstone quickly collides with brutal new realities and a rival ranch that will stop at nothing to protect its empire," continues the official synopsis.

Sure enough, it's been a bumpy ride for Beth and Rip so far on the show.

"Happiness is an evasive thing," Beth actor Reilly told Radio Times ahead of release.

"It's not like something that you suddenly land on and keep, and I think that's what I was sort of leaning into," she said.

"In the seasons of Yellowstone, there were moments of Beth talking about wanting to be left alone, and how when Rip took her riding and she says, 'All I want is a meadow, whiskey and you', and so I sort of clung on to the things that felt incredibly simple to Beth and true to her heart, and to then give her those things and then watch her find out if that actually does mean happiness.

"But ultimately, she's meeting herself. She's just lost her father. There is a woman who is living a new life and living a new part of herself. 'Who am I without this fight? Who am I without my father?' And I liked the uncertainty and ambiguity in her for that. It was a new side of her that I hadn't got to play or see before, and that felt authentic and true."

An older man and woman dressed in black western-style clothing walk through a cemetery in daylight. Both wear black cowboy hats and sunglasses, with the woman also wearing a black dress with gold buttons and a large gold belt buckle. Gravestones surround them as they walk side by side with solemn, composed expressions.

Meanwhile, speaking about Beth's relationship with rival ranch owner Beulah, she revealed that the pair "actually have a lot in common".

"She's a daughter of one of the biggest land owners in Texas, so she has her own legacy that she is protecting," the actor said. "And so Beth understands her, she just does things differently. So they sort of sniff around each other a little bit, and there is actually this odd respect.

"But Beth has no interest in legacy anymore. She has interest in protecting the things and the people that she loves. But they [rival families] need each other, and that's where the story goes out and we lean into how these two families, the Dutton-Wheelers, Beth and Rip and Carter and the Jacksons, they kind of need one another. And they're basically neighbours, so it's still up for grabs of whether or not they're going to work together."

Reilly went on to tease "lots of secrets" that will naturally come into play.

"There's lots of things that we don't know about them, and they don't know about us, so there's a lot of intrigue. But Beulah and Beth are going to come up against each other, big time."

Dutton Ranch airs on Paramount+ on Fridays.
