Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Yellowstone’ Sequel Gets a Glorious Filming Update
For fans who were starting to worry that the Beth-and-Rip Yellowstone sequel might quietly drift into development limbo, it’s time to saddle up. Taylor Sheridan isn’t slowing down — and The Dutton Ranch is very much alive. After a packed 2025 filming schedule in and around Fort Worth, cameras are rolling again on multiple Sheridan-created series, including The Dutton Ranch and Lioness. Local casting notices confirm that both productions resumed filming this week, with extras now being sought for upcoming scenes. Alongside returning Yellowstone favorites Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, The Dutton Ranch has added Jai Courtney in a key role as another rancher. He joins previously announced cast members Ed Harris and Annette Bening.
Filming on The Dutton Ranch has been underway since August, making it one of several Sheridan projects shooting concurrently in Texas. That list also includes Landman, which is about to conclude its second season on Paramount+ and is about to head to Season 3, and The Madison, whose second season filmed before Season 1 has even premiered. According to Texas-based Legacy Casting, The Dutton Ranch is currently staging an upscale party sequence in Ferris, Texas. Extras are being asked to portray high-end socialites celebrating an anniversary alongside the show’s main cast, with wardrobe requirements described as “fancy, high-end.” The scene reportedly evokes the opening party vibes of Netflix’s The Hunting Wives. The official logline sets the tone clearly:
“Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler are grateful for the peace they sought, fought, and nearly died for with their 7,000-acre Dutton Ranch. With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter becomes the man he’s supposed to be.”
