The new series "Dutton Ranch," a sequel to "Yellowstone," was filmed extensively across North Texas, including locations such as Boyd, which is approximately 37 miles southwest of Aubrey. The production took place between August 2025 and March 2026, using various towns as backdrops for the fictional Rio Paloma.
Key filming sites included Ferris, Cleburne, Grandview, Weatherford, and Fort Worth, showcasing the region's grassland and mesquite landscapes. The series premiered on May 15, 2026, with its first season consisting of nine episodes, all now available for streaming on Paramount+. In its debut week, it attracted 12.9 million viewers globally, marking the largest launch in the platform's history.
The cast features Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser reprising their roles as Beth and Rip, alongside a notable ensemble including Ed Harris and Annette Bening. The show was created by Chad Feehan, who also served as the first season's showrunner.
Texas's Moving Image Industry Incentive Program played a role in attracting such productions, providing financial incentives that benefit local economies through spending on crews and services. Paramount+ has confirmed a second season of "Dutton Ranch," although a release date has yet to be announced.
