According to The Hollywood Reporter, the showrunner of the Yellowstone spinoff Dutton Ranch will be exiting the series ahead of its premiere date. Executive producer and creator Chad Feehan (Lawmen: Bass Reeves, Ray Donovan) has departed the show before it airs next month. Showrunner changes on the Taylor Sheridan (Landman, Wind River) series are known to be common.

The official logline reads: “As Beth and Rip fight to build a future together far from the ghosts of Yellowstone,  they collide with brutal new realities and a ruthless rival ranch that will stop at nothing to protect its empire. In South Texas, blood runs deeper, forgiveness is fleeting, and the cost of survival might just be your soul.”
