On Wednesday it was revealed a Yellowstone spinoff, starring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, has been officially confirmed after months of speculation.
The series will be led creatively by Sheridan, who has written every episode of the hit ranch drama and directed the first season.
Sources told Deadline the new show ‘will likely feature’ other ‘cast members from the mothership.’
The news comes just days before the upcoming season 5 finale of Yellowstone is set to air on Sunday.
Last month, Hauser teased that he would love to continue to portray his beloved character, Rip, while reflecting on the possibility of a spinoff and the continuation of the Dutton story.
‘[It] sure would be a shame to stop a great thing,’ he told People.
In Lioness he is CIA black ops member Two Cups. Two Cups is an experienced CIA Special Activities Division operative on Joe’s QRF team. He gets teased for his eating habits
And on Landman he stars as oil rig worker Dale Bradley. His scenes are mostly with star Billy Bob Thornton as the two are also roommates in their large house
‘I believe the numbers speak for themselves and America has spoken,’ he noted, nodding to the immense popularity of Sheridan’s modern-western series, which garnered an astonishing 15.7 million viewers last season.
He continued: ‘Taylor [Sheridan’s] and my interest was to bring back an American man who is unapologetic, honest, loyal with strong values. I believe we have accomplished that together.’
Hauser has portrayed Wheeler, the husband of Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly), since the series first premiered in 2018.
In August, reports surfaced that Hauser and Reilly were in ‘negotiations’ for a sixth season.
Although sources emphasized to Deadline that the deal was still up in the air, the upcoming episodes would focus on the on-screen couple’s beloved characters following Kevin Costner‘s dramatic exit from the neo-Western drama.
The pair had previously been rumored to be joining the Yellowstone spinoff The Madison, starring Michelle Pfeiffer.

In April, when asked about the possibility of a sixth season, Reilly told RadioTimes: ‘I just care about finishing [Yellowstone] with as much care and as much passion and as much love as I can muster to put into it… I’m sort of prepping for that now, [and] that’s my tunnel-vision thing that I care about most.’
‘And what goes on beyond that? There are discussions, you know. Don’t believe everything you read. It’s just nonsense,’ she continued.
5B, which returned on November 10, was originally announced as Yellowstone‘s last installment.
In June, Costner, who played the show’s patriarch John Dutton, confirmed that he was done with Yellowstone for good.
The 69-year-old actor told his Instagram followers that he would not returning for an appearance for season 5B.
‘Hi everyone. I just want to reach out and let you know that after this long year and a half of working on Horizon and doing all the things that’s required, and thinking about Yellowstone — that beloved series that I love, that I know you love — I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue Season 5b or into the future,’ Costner announced somberly while gazing into the camera.

Previous reports indicated that Costner was likely done for good with the series after conflicts between himself and producers over pay, his schedule and his availability to film his multi-part Western epic Horizon: An American Saga.
But fans held out hope that he might at least return to find a dignified ending for his patriarch John Dutton III, but his new video has seemingly dashed those hopes for good.
‘It was something that really changed me,’ Costner said of the Paramount Network series.
‘I loved it, and I know you loved it,’ he reiterated. ‘I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning.’
The actor and director concluded with what may have been an entreaty for his fans to see his upcoming Horizon films.
On last week’s episode, Kelly was seen in a scene with supermodel Bella Hadid
‘I love the relationship we’ve been able to develop, and I’ll see you at the movies,’ he said as a slight smile crossed his lips.
The announcement means that Costner’s final run of episodes were for season 5A, which aired from November of 2022 to January of 2023.
His character, the patriarch of the Dutton family, ran the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, a fictional ranch that was the largest in Montana.
It bordered Yellowstone National Park and the Broken Rock Indian Reservation, which often put the wealthy family at odds with their Native American neighbors and greedy developers looking to snatch up their land.
