'Dutton Ranch' Creator Leaves 'Yellowstone' Spinoff Prior to Premiere
The Paramount+ spinoff lost its showrunner after on-set clashes, and insiders say he is not expected back if the series is renewed.
- Showrunner Chad Feehan has been "quietly let go" ahead of the May 15 premiere of Dutton Ranch, the Yellowstone spinoff starring Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser.
- Reports indicate Feehan "clashed on set" with stars Reilly and Hauser, while Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan and 101 Studios boss David Glasser were reportedly unhappy with his production management.
- The series follows Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler as they relocate to Texas, premiering May 15 on Paramount+ and the Paramount Network.
- A source told Page Six that "Chad won't be returning should the show be picked up for a second season," though it remains unclear if he will be officially replaced.
- Production shifts are common across the Taylor-verse, as some series operate without traditional writers, often relying on directors to oversee production day-to-day.
