Ed Harris will join the upcoming “Yellowstone” spinoff series “The Dutton Ranch,” following the lives of Beth and Rip.
The “Westworld” actor will star alongside Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser and Finn Little from the original Taylor Sheridan Western series. He will also join previously announced new cast member Annette Bening. Chad Feehan will serve as showrunner and executive producer on “The Dutton Ranch” with Sheridan executive producing.
“The Dutton Ranch” will drop viewers into the lives of Beth and Rip as they manage the 7,000 acre property they fought for, raise their son Carter and struggle to survive out West.
Harris is set to play “weathered veteran” and veterinarian Everett McKinney, who services the town with compassion and his great sense of humor. He joins Bening who is set to play Beulah Jackson, the powerful, cunning and charming head of a major ranch in Texas.
This spinoff will remain in the same timeline as the original “Yellowstone” hit series unlike its other spinoffs “1883” and “1923.” The Dutton family owns the largest cattle ranch in the United States. Now with Beth and Rip at the helm, the couple will take on its trials and tribulations on their own.
Two other upcoming spinoffs series have been announced as Sheridan continues to expand his “Yellowstone” empire. “The Madison,” starring Michelle Pfeiffer as Stacy Clyburn, will run on Paramount+, and “Y: Marshals” will head to CBS with Luke Grimes reprising his role as Kayce Dutton.
This is not Harris’ first rodeo in the genre. He directed, co-wrote and starred in the western “Appaloosa.” This series will be Harris’ latest television series since his Emmy-nominated performance in “Westworld.” The four-time Academy Award nominee has previously appeared in “Pollaok,” “The Hours,” “The Truman Show” and “Apollo 13.” His other television credits include HBO’s “Empire Falls” and “Game Change.”
“The Dutton Ranch” will be executive produced by Sheridan and Feehan along with David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Christina Voros, Reilly, Hauser and Keith Cox. Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios will produce the series.
