Kelly Reilly knows exactly whichYellowstone star she wants onDutton Ranch. And thanks to howYellowstone ended, there’s a clear path forward to making it happen.
Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) move from Montana to Texas inDutton Ranch, which wrapped up its first season on July 3. TheDutton Ranch Season 1 finale assured that they’ll be staying in Texas for a while now, given that their son, Carter (Finn Little), was kidnapped by the cartel.
Reilly told TV Insider that “Beth misses her brother,” Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes), so she would “love” to have Grimes onDutton Ranch.Marshals Season 1 also ended with Kayce’s son, Tate (Brecken Merrill), being kidnapped and supposedly taken to Texas, where his aunt and uncle now live. So the siblings banding together to save their sons is a fun idea, but one that would be complicated by potential scheduling conflicts between the two shows.
But there’s one Yellowstone character who could easily be pulled intoDutton Ranch.
“I’d like Teeter [Jen Landon] to come back. That’s who I would like,” Reilly told TV Insider. “She’s from Texas. Jen Landon, she’s one of my favorite people in the world to work with, and I’d love her to come back and play. We don’t get to make those decisions. There are people way above our heads who get to choose that, but we can definitely voice them and see if they think it’s a good idea. But if the fans want it, they should probably say so.”

Teeter moved to Texas at the end ofYellowstone after the tragic death of her partner, Colby(Denim Richards). She got a new job working for horse-trainer Travis (played by Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan), and Jimmy (Jefferson White) worked there as well.
Beth and Rip are in need of extra ranch hands over in Rio Paloma, so it’s easy to imagine them calling up some of the Yellowstone’s alumni. There was a Texas-set 6666 spinoff in the works previously, and we speculated that Jimmy and Teeter could be characters in that. But having either or both of them appear inDutton Ranch would be welcome too.
“The more we can get back in, that’s what we’re fighting for, Cole and I,” Reilly said of Yellowstone cast members. “Where we get our wishes, we would love to have as many back in our world.”
Hauser told TV Insider that he wants Kayce back so that he and Rip can have scenes where they’re not fighting. The brothers-in-law were frequently at odds inYellowstone.
“It’d be fun to see actually Kayce and Rip get along, have a scene where they’re actually happy together,” he said.
