A key creative by \u201cYellowstone\u201d spinoff \u201cDutton Ranch\u201d has departed the show before its series premiere next month.<\/p>\n

The Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler-led show began filming in North Texas<\/a> in August 2025 and wrapped last month. \u201cDutton Ranch\u201d is set after the events of \u201cYellowstone\u201d season 5<\/a> as Beth and Rip move to South Texas.<\/p>\n

Puck News reported late Thursday<\/a> that \u201cDutton Ranch\u201d creator and showrunner Chad Feehan has been quietly let go from the series before its May 15 premiere on Paramount+ and the Paramount Network.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to know.<\/p>\n

\u2018Dutton Ranch\u2019 loses showrunner before series premiere<\/p>\n

Clashes on set with stars Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly and other key players is the reason for the split, according to reporting from Puck.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Puck reports that \u201cYellowstone\u201d architect Taylor Sheridan and 101 Studios CEO David Glasser also weren\u2019t happy with Feehan, so he got the boot.<\/p>\n

As for what\u2019s next, Puck speculates that another season 1 writer will be elevated to showrunner if the show is renewed.<\/p>\n

For those wondering why Sheridan himself is not running \u201cDutton Ranch,\u201d he was always attached as an executive producer.<\/p>\n

Sheridan shared last month on \u201cTom McCutcheon\u2019s The Show\u201d podcast<\/a> that he\u2019s only directly involved with \u201cLioness,\u201d \u201cLandman,\u201d \u201cThe Madison\u201d and \u201cFrisco King\u201d at the moment. Other shows like \u201cMarshals,\u201d \u201cDutton Ranch,\u201d \u201cTulsa King\u201d and \u201cMayor of Kingstown\u201d are under his umbrella, but he\u2019s not running the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t write it, I\u2019m not involved in the day-to-day,\u201d Sheridan said about \u201cDutton Ranch.\u201d<\/p>\n
