Yellowstone’s Beth & Rip Spin: Yellowstone fans, get ready to saddle up again because the first trailer for the Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler spin-off just dropped, and it’s packing all the raw emotion and Western grit that made the original a smash. Titled “A New Beginning,” this eight-episode series picks up right after the Dutton family’s explosive finale, following the power couple as they ditch the Montana chaos for a quieter life on a sprawling Texas ranch. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser return as the fierce duo whose love story has hooked millions, blending heart-pounding drama with those signature Sheridan twists. Set to premiere summer 2026 on Paramount Network and Paramount+, the trailer’s already racking up millions of views, proving Beth and Rip’s ride-or-die vibe is far from over.
Gritty Glimpses: What the Trailer Teases
Clocking in at two minutes of pure tension, the trailer opens with sweeping shots of golden plains and thundering hooves, Beth nursing a whiskey at dawn while Rip ropes a stray calf. Her voiceover hits hard: “You think leaving one war behind means another won’t come find us?” Cut to quick flashes of paradise turning perilous a cozy cabin dinner shattered by distant gunshots, shadowy figures on horseback circling their new spread, and a sleek government SUV kicking up dust toward the gate.
It’s Yellowstone DNA all the way: land grabs by slick developers, whispers of old Dutton foes resurfacing, and that unbreakable bond between Beth’s sharp tongue and Rip’s iron fist. No massive family feuds here; it’s intimate, focusing on their shot at normalcy amid brewing storms. Fans are geeking out over the emotional beats, like Rip asking Beth about the family they never had, her eyes misty as she whispers, “Every damn day.”
Star Turns and Fresh Faces
Kelly Reilly owns the screen as Beth, trading boardroom barbs for ranch-ready venom, while Cole Hauser’s Rip gets more layers less enforcer, more family man wrestling his demons. Their chemistry? Electric as ever, with steamy glances amid the dust. Joining the fray is Jai Courtney as a rugged Texas ranch hand with a shady past, Ed Harris as a grizzled oil baron eyeing their land, and Annette Bening as a no-nonsense lawyer tangled in the legal mess.
Riley Keough pops up as Clara Jameson, a cutthroat businesswoman who clashes with Beth in epic stare-downs, and Jeff Bridges lends his gravelly drawl as Owen Steele, an old-timer mentor to Rip. Taylor Sheridan oversees as exec producer, but Chad Feehan – fresh off other Dutton tales helms the writing, keeping it grounded in present-day stakes without the historical flair of 1883.
Fan Fever and What’s Next
X is lit up with reactions one user raved, “This looks even better than Yellowstone’s peak!” while another joked, “Beth without the Dutton drama? Who are you?” The spin-off fits snug in Sheridan’s empire, sharing vibes with 6666 but zeroing in on personal redemption over empire-building. No Kayce crossover yet, but whispers say Luke Grimes might guest. With Yellowstone wrapping strong, this feels like the emotional payoff fans craved. Mark your calendars if the trailer’s fire is any hint, Beth and Rip’s new dawn could outshine the old one. Who’s binge-ready?
