Dutton Ranch has been renewed for season 2 but things will look different behind the scenes after a showrunner was fired.
Shortly before the show premiered in June 2026, Chad Feehan was in charge of the Yellowstone spinoff. Us Weekly later confirmed that Feehan would not return as showrunner after an April 2026 report that the producer who created Lawmen: Bass Reeves with Taylor Sheridan stepped away from Dutton Ranch after alleged friction with series stars Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly, among others.
Sheridan and his producing partner David Glasser, along with the two leads, were allegedly more unhappy with how Feehan ran the production than with the scripts.
Executive producer Christina Voros broke her silence about Feehan’s reported firing, telling ScreenRant in May that he did “an exceptional job building a world of adversaries for Rip and Beth” in the Yellowstone spinoff.

Voros noted that when it came to “dynamics behind his departure,” she didn’t have much to add. She went on to say that Dutton Ranch had at that point not “come out into the world yet” so a future without Feehan was “beyond” her knowledge on the subject.
The director expressed gratitude to Feehan and his team for “creating a world for these characters to move into.”
Paramount+ later renewed Dutton Ranch for season 2 — but there hasn’t been a showrunner update yet.
Showrunner Changes on Taylor Sheridan Shows: 'Tulsa King' to 'Dutton Ranch'
Over the years, Sheridan has acknowledged his preference for not using writers’ rooms, telling The Hollywood Reporter in 2023, “But when you hire a room that may not be motivated by those same qualities — and a writer always wants to take ownership of something they’re writing — and I give this directive and they’re not feeling it, then they’re going to come up with their own qualities. So for me, writers rooms, they haven’t worked.”
The outlet noted that Sheridan wrote in a one-room “cabinet” he built in Wyoming. “I’ve written many episodes in eight to 10 hours,” he claimed at the time.
Dutton Ranch isn’t the only Sheridan show to go through showrunner changes. Lioness, Tulsa King and Frisco King have also experienced shifts — and not every show had a showrunner season to season.
Dutton Ranch airs on Paramount+ Fridays.
