Dutton Ranch‘s Kelly Reilly teased who will likely be leading season 2 after making it very clear that the Yellowstone spinoff is “not the Beth and Rip show.”
“I feel season 2 goes to feel very rather more Ed [Harris]’ show,” Reilly, 48, recently told TV Insider. “This will not be the Beth and Rip show. That is Dutton Ranch, and there’s 4 lead characters.”
Reilly specifically highlighted Annette Bening as well. “It’s such a privilege to have them come join our show,” she added. “I’ve said this before, I feel like they made us legit.”
The actress continued: “We could have just been a bit of soapy spinoff and we’re not due to them. We’re a drama, we’re a brand new show, and it’s got some heavyweights in it. We’re very proud to be working with them.”
Cole Hauser had similar praise for Harris, 75.
“Obviously, Annette is phenomenal, but I cannot wait to work more with [Ed],” he shared. “He’s such an incredible American actor that I feel was used very sparingly this yr. We’re going to be certain that that he’s a giant a part of helping us, moving forward in whatever capability.”
Hauser, 51, explained how Harris’ Everett will “turn into an important, integral a part of season 2.”
This will not be the primary time a Taylor Sheridan show has caused a forged shakeup. Landman, which also airs on Paramount+, kicked off season 1 by introducing Billy Bob Thornton as a company fixer Tommy Norris working for an oil titan in a West Texas-set drama with life-and-death stakes.
Tommy largely interacted with Monty (Jon Hamm), who was married to Cami (Demi Moore). Season 1 showed Cami only when she was supporting her husband or swimming of their pool. After Monty’s onscreen death, Cami took over as the main target of season 2 opposite Tommy.

“I told her, after I met with Demi about that, I said, ‘Look, here’s the thing. You’re gonna be an additional on this show,” Sheridan, 56, recalled on a June episode of “The Bill Simmons Podcast” show about sidelining Moore on purpose. “For seven episodes, you’re going to be an additional, and the critics are going to return after me.’”
Sheridan desired to fire up drama along with his decision.
“‘I’m ‘underutilizing this [actress], can’t write for ladies,’ all this nonsense.’ After which I’m going to kill your husband, and also you’re going to should run the oil company,’” he recalled telling Moore about her real arc on the show.
The shakeup was essential to Sheridan, especially if he was to attain his initial goal.
“The critics and me, I don’t care what they think, and it annoys the s**t out of them that I don’t care,” he added. “And I’ll be the primary to let you know that there are things that I do this rage-bait them a bit, and that is one in all them.”
