Dutton Ranch’s first season wasn’t without its hiccups, but the Taylor Sheridan-produced Yellowstone sequel absolutely held its own in the ratings, and was the among the most-watched scripted series of the 2025-2026 season. Flash-forward to two months later, when fans learned Dutton Ranch brought in SEAL Team creator Benjamin Cavell to be the new showrunner for Season 2 (and possibly beyond). We have a wonderful new showrunner, Benjamin Cavell, and I’ve been talking to him. Also, if he finds a way to authentically bring Luke Grimes' Kayce Dutton down to Texas for some crossover fun, Cavell will get even more gold stars. Season 1 of Dutton Ranch can be streamed in full via Paramount+ subscription.
