Kelly Reilly says Dutton Ranch season two will begin filming in early 2027
The actor gave the filming timetable at Paramount’s U.K. upfront in London, where she also discussed the series’ audience response.
Kelly Reilly said on Thursday, October 22, at Paramount’s U.K. upfront at the Royal Academy of Arts in London that Dutton Ranch season two is set to begin filming in early 2027. She did not give an exact start date. The update gives viewers a timetable for the next stage of the Yellowstone spinoff, which follows her character Beth Dutton.
Reilly told the event that the first season drew 12.9 million viewers worldwide in its first week, according to Deadline. The figure was presented as her account of the show’s audience, rather than as an independently audited total.
Beth Dutton’s new life in South Texas
Dutton Ranch follows Beth as she starts afresh in South Texas. Reilly described taking the character beyond Yellowstone as ‘a risk I’m proud we took,’ Deadline reported. She also thanked viewers for the response, saying she was surprised and grateful. Yellowstone, in which Reilly played Beth across five seasons, ended in 2024.
The cast includes Cole Hauser, Annette Bening and Ed Harris. Speaking about Bening and Harris, Reilly said she had been ‘incredibly blessed to be joined by two acting icons,’ according to The Hollywood Reporter. She described the South Texas setting with a shorter warning: ‘lots of snakes.’
Other shows presented at Paramount’s London upfront
Paramount used the London event to show advertisers more of its coming programmes. Kenneth Branagh and Peter Sarsgaard appeared to discuss Laird, an upcoming drama set in the Scottish Highlands, and first-look images were shown. Samuel L. Jackson introduced Frisco King by video, while David Beckham discussed Paramount+’s UEFA Champions League coverage and his Beckham & Friends programme.
Beckham & Friends Live will become available beyond the United States next year, The Hollywood Reporter reported. Paramount also said it plans to bring U.K. advertising sales for Paramount+ and Pluto TV in-house from 2027. Those announcements formed part of an upfront designed to present the company’s programmes and advertising plans to marketers.
