NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN FOR 'DUTTON RANCH' SEASON 2!
The 'Yellowstone' spinoff is getting a major creative shake-up—and it's a familiar face from the prestige-TV playbook.
'Dutton Ranch' is ready for its next chapter! Benjamin Cavell, the mastermind behind 'SEAL Team' and a 'Justified' veteran, is stepping in as the new showrunner for Season 2 of Taylor Sheridan's 'Yellowstone' spinoff, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. Cavell takes the reins from Season 1 showrunner Chad Feehan, who exited the series just before its premiere—so there's clearly plenty of creative momentum to build on.
Here's the good news for Dutton Ranch fans: the cast is ALL IN for the long haul. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, who starred alongside Kevin Costner in the original 'Yellowstone,' recently told The Hollywood Reporter they're ready to saddle up for multiple seasons as long as the writing stays strong. That's the kind of vote of confidence that suggests Sheridan's ranch saga is just getting started.
With Cavell's track record steering prestige dramas, Season 2 is shaping up to be something special. The 'Dutton Ranch' crew clearly has the blueprint for success—now it's time to ride.
