Yellowstone star Finn Little is all grown up in the highly-anticipated spin-off series Dutton Ranch – and fans can’t get enough.
The Aussie teen, 19, who plays Beth and Rip’s ‘adopted’ son Carter in the hit Western franchise, shared a first look at his character as he reprises the role, hinting some huge details about the upcoming plot.
The show’s official Instagram also shared the post with the caption, “Yeah, he grew up 👀,” causing frenzied fans to all say one thing.

Fans first met Little as young Carter in Season 4 of Yellowstone (2018). His character was already likened to a young and troubled Rip (Cole Hauser).
With a new girl in Carter’s life, played by American actress Natalie Alyn Lind, fans are calling them “Rip and Beth Dutton Jr”.

”DAMN. Carter grew up! 😂,” one fan reacted in the comments section, while a second wrote: “Carter is just a lil boy!!!! I am not ready for this!!!!”
Other fans guessed that perhaps Beth and Rip raising a teen on the ranch will play into the series’ new storyline.
