According to a report by Parade magazine, the series began production in mid-August in Ferris, Texas, a small town which is located 20 miles south of downtown Dallas. In the upcoming series, Reilly and Hauser will reprise their roles as Beth Dutton and Rip Dutton. Up until this moment, the network hasn't revealed any details about the plot of the new series. It seems like Beth and Rip will move to the Lone Star state with their young charge, Carter.
Several media outlets, like Fort Worth Star-Telegram and the San Antonio Express-News, have reported that the Beth and Rip spin-off is currently filming under the name 'Rio Palo'. On the other hand, Deadline has stated that the new series is called 'The Dutton Ranch' and will revolve around Beth and Rip as they look forward to a new beginning. The official synopsis also states that the show “is a testament to the peace they sought, fought for, and nearly died for, as they’ve come to cherish their 7,000-acre ranch. With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter becomes the man he’s supposed to be."
During a June 2025 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hauser candidly spoke about the long-awaited Beth and Rip spinoff and went on to say, "Kelly and I, we’re focused on [Rip and Beth’s] relationship and our love together, and what we’re going to get [them] into. I’m excited just like everybody else. I can’t wait to see what they come up with. Hopefully, we’ll start seeing stuff soon." The Beth and Rip spinoff will be released sometime in 2026.
