The upcoming spinoff of the popular series Yellowstone, Dutton Ranch, is generating buzz among fans. However, the cast members have revealed an intriguing aspect of their involvement in the project. In an exclusive interview with Page Six, the cast, including James Eddie, Sterlin English, Marc Menchaca, and Juan Pablo Raba, shared their experiences working on the show and their relationship with the franchise's creator, Taylor Sheridan.
Despite being a spinoff, Dutton Ranch's cast members did not have the opportunity to meet with Sheridan, which might come as a surprise to fans. This lack of interaction with the creator adds an interesting dynamic to the production. Sterlin English, however, remains optimistic, stating, 'But, I’ve heard great things.'
The show follows the Dutton family's expansion into Texas, where they encounter new challenges and neighbors. The cast members provide insights into their characters and the production process. Marc Menchaca, for instance, praises the executive producer and director, Christina Alexandra Voros, for her guidance, describing her as Sheridan's 'trusted confidant.'
The cast also highlights the diverse skills and experiences they brought to the set. Some actors, like James Eddie, had to undergo intense training at a 'cowboy camp,' learning unique skills such as balancing an egg on a spoon while riding a horse. Sterlin English, a real-life cowboy, felt right at home, drawing inspiration from cinema icons like Robert Duvall.
Juan Pablo Raba, who plays a suit-wearing fixer, had a unique learning experience working with Annette Bening, describing it as 'going to school every day.' The cast's dedication and enthusiasm for the project are evident, even without the direct involvement of Taylor Sheridan.
Dutton Ranch is set to premiere on Friday at 8 p.m. ET on Paramount and Paramount+, promising an exciting addition to the Yellowstone universe. The show's success and the cast's positive experiences will undoubtedly fuel further speculation and interest among fans.
