Yellowstone‘s Dutton Ranch spinoff introduced a twist by killing off a surprising character in a gruesome death.
Throughout the Friday, June 12, episode of the hit Paramount+ series, Chet (Hart Denton) was encouraged by Rob-Will (Jai Courtney) to hunt revenge for his firing. Chet decided to search out Joaquin — and even shot him within the hand — before Miguel (Berto Colón) got the prospect to take the ranch hand out.
Before his death, Chet worked at 10 Petal and was made a foreman before being demoted and fired by Rip (Cole Hauser).
Yellowstone initially introduced viewers to the Dutton family in 2018. The Paramount Network show got here to an end in 2024, expanding its universe with Luke Grimes’ CBS show Marshals and Dutton Ranch, which premiered in May.
Dutton Ranch has introduced some latest characters played by Annette Bening and Ed Harris. Other newcomers include Courtney, Natalie Alyn Lind, Pablo Raba, J. R. Villarreal — and Marc Menchaca‘s Zachariah.
Earlier this month, Menchaca weighed in on whether the deadly twists on the show had him frightened about his character Zachariah’s fate, telling Us, “It’s all the time a possibility — and I even have a reasonably good track record of claiming bye bye on a show.”
Menchaca poked fun at his bad luck on screen.
“My wife [Lena Headey] made a death reel for me for my birthday this last 12 months. It was about 10 minutes and it didn’t even have all my deaths,” he quipped. “So I used to be a little bit bit [worried].”
He continued: “I used to be like, ‘They could take me out so I higher get on everybody’s good side.’ Hopefully it won’t occur but the way in which things are actually, you get these scripts just a little bit bit before. Then you definitely start going through and also you’re like, ‘Is it gonna occur next scene?’ Thankfully it has not [yet].”
Filming Dutton Ranch allowed Menchaca to attach together with his roots.
“I grew up that life. I just took from ranchers that I worked for,” he shared. “I desired to be a team roper once I was a child and it brought my childhood back to me.”
Looking ahead, Menchaca teased what’s yet to come back, adding, “Obviously there’s going to be tension. It definitely creates tension and we’ll discover that there are some things in regards to the 10 Petal which might be unbecoming of a rustic boy.”
