Dutton Ranch Season 1 concluded with a dramatic cliffhanger, leaving viewers questioning the fate of Carter Green and who died in the finale. The Yellowstone spin-off, starring Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton and Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler, became Paramount+'s most successful original series launch, earning a Season 2 renewal.
Does Carter Die in Dutton Ranch?
The answer remains unknown. The Season 1 finale revealed Carter Green (Finn Little) was abducted by Mariano Reyes (Raoul Max Trujillo), leaving his parents devastated. Carter is still alive as of the finale, but fans must wait for Season 2 to learn his fate. Rip and Beth are expected to launch a rescue mission, hinting at all-out warfare.
Who Dies in Dutton Ranch Season 1?
Rob-Will Jackson (Jai Courtney) is killed in the finale. He is gunned down by an unidentified assassin after answering his front door, moments after reconciling with his daughter Oreana Lynn Jackson (Natalie Alyn Lind). His death will likely drive Season 2 conflict, with his mother Beulah Jackson (Annette Bening) seeking revenge.
Viewers suspect Joaquin Jackson Reyes (Juan Pablo Raba) may be responsible, following his father Mariano's orders earlier in the episode. However, Raba told TVLine it is uncertain: "All we see is Joaquin in his car giving some hard thought to something. And then we see him later, in the same car with the same gun... but did he do it?"
Is There an Episode 10 of Dutton Ranch?
No. Season 1 consists of nine episodes, all released. No tenth episode is forthcoming. Viewers must wait for Season 2 for resolution. According to Deadline, Dutton Ranch serves as a substitute for Yellowstone's sixth season, continuing the story without Kevin Costner's John Dutton.
Dutton Ranch Season 1 is streaming on Paramount+ now.
