Yellowstone's 2 Hit Spinoffs Are Missing Taylor Sheridan's Secret Weapon

Yellowstone's 2 Hit Spinoffs Are Missing Taylor Sheridan's Secret Weapon argues that the two Taylor Sheridan-produced Yellowstone spinoffs—Marshals and Dutton Ranch—lack what made the original series stand out. Yellowstone ended at the end of 2024, and the Dutton saga continued with CBS’s Marshals, starring Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, and Paramount+’s Dutton Ranch, with Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton and Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler. The article credits both spinoffs with strong launches, describing Marshals as debuting as one of the biggest broadcast series and Dutton Ranch as the largest original launch on Paramount+, surpassing Landman. Despite progress, it says neither spinoff fully replicates Yellowstone’s immersive portrayal of Montana’s landscapes: Marshals follows Kayce in East Camp, while Dutton Ranch moves the family to Rio Paloma in South Texas after a fire.
