The “Yellowstone” spinoff “Dutton Ranch” is going to have to rustle up a new showrunner.

Variety has confirmed that Chad Feehan, who served as showrunner on the show’s first season, will not return in that role should it get renewed for Season 2. Given “Yellowstone” mastermind Taylor Sheridan‘s successful track record at Paramount+, that renewal seems more than likely.

“Dutton Ranch” follows Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) after the events of the mothership series. It will debut with its first two episodes on May 15 on Paramount+ and at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Paramount Network, followed by one new episode weekly thereafter. The first season consists of nine episodes.
