Taylor Sheridan's 'Rancho Dutton' season 2 ends on cliffhanger as a Scottish‑themed series is rumored

Season two of Taylor Sheridan’s 'Rancho Dutton' follows Beth Dutton, Rip Wheeler and their non‑biological son Carter as they clash with the powerful Jackson family in Texas. After a series of betrayals, a drug‑laden cattle raid and a shoot‑out, the finale leaves Carter kidnapped by the narcotics‑linked Mariano, setting up a cliff‑hanger for the next season. Paramount announced the series renewal and the episodes are streaming on SkyShowtime in Spain, a week behind the U.S. release.

Separately, an unconfirmed report in The Sun suggests Sheridan is developing a new drama titled 'The Laird', a Scottish‑themed series that would explore historic links between Scotland and America and could serve as a prequel to the Yellowstone franchise. Filming is said to start next month, with a tentative Paramount+ launch in 2027, though no official details have been released by mainstream entertainment outlets.
