For example, a leopard makes an appearance in the newest clip for the upcoming series. That's right, the spotted species of cat that originates in Africa. Its appearance in the show certainly raises more questions than answers about this latest series from Taylor Sheridan.
What Else Is in the Trailer for the Latest "Yellowstone" Spinoff?
The trailer begins with Beth and Rip in South Texas and longing for the Montana mountains.
"This life here is going to work, isn't it?" Beth asks Rip.
He replies, "We'll make it work."
But if Rip were right, Dutton Ranch would lack the drama viewers expect from this franchise.
The couple eventually meets Beulah Jackson, an "acquired taste" according to Ed Harris' character Everett McKinney. She has worked hard to protect her 190-year-old ranch, and she plans to exploit Rip and Beth's past to do so.
The role of the leopard in this montage of violence and monologues is a mystery to us. But in Taylor Sheridan we trust. You can watch the entire trailer below.
What Is "Dutton Ranch" About?
Even though Beth and Rip have moved to South Texas to escape trouble, the description for Dutton Ranch indicates it seems to follow them everywhere they go.
"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," the logline reads. "In South Texas, blood runs deeper, forgiveness is fleeting, and the cost of survival might just be your soul."
In addition to Hauser and Kelly Reilly, the cast for this new series is top-notch. Academy Award nominee Ed Harris will be joined by fellow nominee Annette Bening, who plays Jackson. She is described as the "powerful, cunning and charming head of a major ranch in Texas."
Joining them are Finn Little, Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca, and Natalie Alyn Lind.
The first two episodes of Dutton Ranch will premiere on Paramount+ on May 15 at 8 p.m. The remaining seven episodes will premiere weekly on the streamer.
