When Yellowstone wrapped its fifth season, fans were left with one big question: what’s next for Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler? Now, a new Taylor Sheridan spinoff is officially in the works—and while cameras are rolling, there’s still plenty of speculation surrounding the details, especially the title.

What We Know So Far

Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser will reprise their roles as Beth and Rip in the upcoming series, which is currently filming in Texas. Production began this fall, with several casting calls going out across North Texas for ranch workers and supporting roles. This shift south marks a new chapter for Sheridan’s universe, suggesting a possible change in scenery from the sweeping Montana backdrop of the original Yellowstone.

Several outlets have referred to The Dutton Ranch as the project’s working title, while others have cited Rio Paloma in local casting listings. Despite the confusion, Paramount has not yet confirmed an official title, meaning both names could be placeholders while production continues.

The Title Debate: The Dutton Ranch vs. Rio Paloma

On the other hand, Rio Paloma has been used in casting materials and production notes, possibly hinting at a shift in setting or story tone. Filming in Texas supports this idea, suggesting a new environment and fresh challenges for the couple as they carve out their own future. Whether the name stays tied to the Dutton legacy or branches into something entirely new, the direction of the title will reveal a lot about the show’s vision.

Why the Title Matters

The choice between The Dutton Ranch and Rio Paloma represents more than branding—it defines the story’s heart. A Dutton-centered title signals a continuation of the family saga fans already love. A fresh title could indicate a standalone story, one where Beth and Rip forge a new legacy apart from the Yellowstone Ranch.

What’s Next

Paramount and Taylor Sheridan have yet to release the official title, premiere date, or trailer, but with filming underway in Texas and major cast members confirmed, fans won’t have to wait long for updates. Whether it ends up being called The Dutton Ranch, Rio Paloma, or something entirely new, one thing is certain: Beth and Rip’s next chapter is about to redefine the Western genre once again.
