Yellowstone fans, this one's for you – Dutton Ranch has a trailer at last
This franchise might go forever
For those who might have doubted the staying power of the Yellowstone franchise when the main show ended, the last few months have been a pretty cogent counter-argument. After the massive success of Marshals on Paramount+, we're now getting another spin-off show, and it has its full trailer at last.
Of course, this is the world of Yellowstone, so you can't move to a new state and buy a ranch without pretty much immediately running into nefarious new enemies, and it looks like Paramount has recruited two big names to fill that brief. Ed Harris and Annette Benning are brilliant actors, and will play a couple who own a more established ranch nearby.
The trailer makes it clear that they won't take kindly to the arrival of new blood in their area, and it's fairly obvious that conflict is going to spring up one way or another. Harris has form when it comes to playing evil cowboys, given his starring role in Westworld, of course, but it's perhaps more intriguing to see Benning playing a more scheming character than she arguably normally does.
How the show manages to tread new ground will be an interesting question, though. It's arguable that the biggest Yellowstone fans don't necessarily demand huge new tonal shifts and different topics to cover, but the show does look mighty similar to the one that spawned it. A world of ranch disputes and land-grabs seems to hold fascination for millions of viewers still.
We'll know more very soon, of course, since the show is now less than two weeks away. Paramount has left it surprisingly late to give it a full trailer, but that might pay off with a rapid spike in hype.
