The recently launched series "Dutton Ranch," a sequel to "Yellowstone," was filmed across a vast 7,000-acre ranch in North Texas. The production took place from August 2025 to March 2026, utilizing Dallas and several small towns to represent the fictional town of Rio Paloma. Notable filming locations included Ferris, Boyd, Cleburne, Grandview, Weatherford, Rio Vista, Mineral Wells, and Fort Worth.
Ferris, located about 18 miles southeast of downtown Dallas, played a significant role in the filming. The ranch landscapes depicted in the series primarily feature the grasslands and mesquite of Parker, Wise, and Johnson counties, rather than the Rio Grande Valley described in the storyline.
"Dutton Ranch" premiered on May 15, 2026, with a total of nine episodes streaming weekly until the finale on July 3. The series attracted 12.9 million global viewers in its first week, marking the largest original series launch for Paramount+. The premiere also saw 2.9 million viewers on Paramount Network, making it the biggest cable series debut since 2023.
The cast includes Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, with Ed Harris and Annette Bening among others. The series was created by Chad Feehan, who also served as the showrunner. Paramount+ has confirmed a second season of "Dutton Ranch," although a premiere date has yet to be announced.
