Dutton Ranch Showrunner Not Returning For Season 2 After BTS Drama

Paramount+’s “Yellowstone” spin-off must final itself a brand new head honcho within the occasion of a Season 2 renewal: Chad Feehan is out as showrunner on “Dutton Ranch” following the completion of Season 1, TVLine has confirmed.

According to Puck News, Feehan — who beforehand created “Lawmen: Bass Reeves,” one other Taylor Sheridan-produced sequence for Paramount+ — is claimed to be departing amid alleged behind-the-scenes friction with sequence stars Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly, in addition to “other key players.”

The outlet provides that Sheridan, producing companion David Glasser, and the 2 leads had been sad with how Feehan ran the manufacturing, relatively than with the scripts themselves.

TVLine has reached out to representatives for Feehan, Hauser, and Reilly, in addition to Paramount+ and 101 Studios, for remark.

Premiering Friday, May 15 on Paramount+, “Dutton Ranch” relocates Rip and Beth to Texas as they “fight to build a future together — far from the ghosts of Yellowstone,” based on the official logline. There, “they collide with brutal new realities and a ruthless rival ranch that will stop at nothing to protect their empire.”

In addition to Hauser and Reilly, the ensemble solid contains Oscar nominees Ed Harris (“Westworld”) and Annette Bening (“Apples Never Fall”), together with Juan Pablo Raba (“Delirium”), Jai Courtney (“American Primeval”), JR Villarreal (“Landman”), Marc Menchaca (“The Abandons”), and Natalie Alyn Lind (“The Goldbergs”). “Yellowstone” vet Finn Little may also return as Carter.

Feehan executive-produces Season 1 alongside Sheridan, Glasser, Hauser, Reilly, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Christina Alexandra Voros, Michael Friedman, and Keith Cox. (Watch a trailer here.)
