Dutton Ranch, the highly anticipated next chapter in Taylor Sheridan‘s Yellowstone franchise, has already lost its showrunner without airing a single episode.
Set after the original show’s conclusion, it will follow the lives of fan-favorite couple Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler as they make a fresh start. However, creator and showrunner Chad Feehan has exited the series mere days before its premiere.
While the circumstances of Feehan’s departure remain unclear, reports indicate intense behind-the-scenes drama led to the showrunner’s sudden exit.
