How many Yellowstone shows are there? Well, Dutton Ranch moves from Big Sky, Montana, down to the sun-baked, cattle-choked expanse of South Texas as fan favorites Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler try to outrun the ashes of their past and forge a brand-new legacy.
I’ve bought the Yellowstone baked beans, and that’s as far as I know this show.
After a catastrophic wildfire consumes their Montana home, Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) pack up their lives—alongside their adopted son, Carter (Finn Little)—and relocate to Rio Paloma, Texas. Securing 5,000 acres at the Edwards Ranch, they think they’ve found a fresh start. Reality, of course, has other plans. Almost immediately, Beth locks horns with Beulah Jackson (Annette Bening), the ruthless, affluent matriarch of the local 10 Petal Ranch and local slaughterhouse empire, who attempts to force Beth and Rip into an exploitative business arrangement. Meanwhile, Rip finds himself instantly at war with Beulah’s volatile, reckless son Rob-Will (Jai Courtney), and things get even bloodier when Rip uncovers the buried corpse of the Jackson family’s former foreman. Across its nine-episode debut run, you get a high-stakes turf war, mixing corporate land grabs, devastating cattle disease outbreaks and teenage Romeo and Juliet romance (as Carter falls for Beulah’s granddaughter, Oreana).
While it relies heavily on the magnetic star power of Reilly and Hauser, adding Annette Bening and Ed Harris elevates the drama into prestige territory. It’s gritty, tense and proves that even thousands of miles away from the Yellowstone, a Dutton can never truly escape the violence written in their blood.
The beans are good, by the way.
You can get this from Deep Discount.
