As production falls into place for Beth and Rip’s Yellowstone spinoff, there’s a buzz that it’s casting a replacement for Kevin Costner’s character, but the love birds’ story already has John Dutton’s true successor. Puck’s What I’m Hearing newsletter reports Yellowstone’s offshoot is looking for someone like Costner to join Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, who will reprise Beth and Rip, respectively. The report also confirmed that production would be underway this summer, likely building on Beth and Rip’s Yellowstone season 5 ending.
A pattern guides Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone characters, and replacing Kevin Costner’s patriarch maintains it. Yellowstone and its prequels have older, wiser figures to guide the younger generation, with Beth and Spencer Dutton (Brandon Sklenar) sharing the spotlight with characters played by tested stars like Costner and Harrison Ford, who plays Jacob Dutton in 1923. While it will be interesting to see John Dutton’s replacement, Beth and Rip’s Yellowstone spinoff should prioritize its existing characters to build on Sheridan’s legacy of Yellowstone’s character-driven ensemble.
Carter Has Wanted To Be Like John Dutton Since Yellowstone Season 4
Carter Wants To Be Like John Dutton When He Grows Up
Following Taylor Sheridan’s formula, Carter (Finn Little) could come to the forefront as John Dutton’s successor in Beth and Rip’s Yellowstone spinoff. Carter has wanted to be like John Dutton since Yellowstone season 4, and making his role in the spinoff more robust could focus on Carter as the younger character and Beth and Rip as the sturdy Yellowstone power couple. While the delayed timeline for Yellowstone season 5 changed Carter’s story as Beth and Rip’s ersatz son, the couple’s spinoff could embrace that, leaning into Carter as the older and wiser character he’s become.
Yellowstone season 4, episode 6, “I Want to Be Him,” ends with Carter’s proclamation. After Rip fights Lloyd (Forrie J. Smith), everyone directly involved walks away from the confrontation upset, with John Dutton walking up the hillside. The episode ends when Carter tells Jake Reams that he knows what he wants to be when he grows up, saying, “I want to be him,” referring to John. The Yellowstone franchise puts weight on the memorable moment, making it the chapter’s title. Therefore, Yellowstone has already set Carter into motion as the perfect replacement for what John Dutton was to the franchise.
