Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly sat down with “Extra” to dish on their new "Yellowstone" spin-off series “Dutton Ranch.”
They spoke about where we find Beth and Rip now in Texas and trying to find some peace and happiness after all that drama.
Kelly shared, “They want peace and they want simplicity and they want to be left alone and they want their own little ranch, farm to table, and they just want to love one another."
But, of course, it can’t all be smooth sailing. Reilly added, “New fights find them and we, as the audience know them well, they're equipped to handle it.”
Cole added, “They're trying to find some way of living without all of that drama. You know, all of the pain and suffering that has happened throughout the years in Yellowstone… we kept not only the love between the two of them, but the strength that they possess together versus apart.”
They also have Carter with them, played by Finn Little, who is now 19!
Kelly said, "Carter is becoming a man and they're trying to figure out how to protect him and nurture him and that's kind of fun to see Beth play mom, even though it's hard for her to say that she's a mom, but that's what she's doing… She's loving him."
"Finn is so great as a young actor," Cole added. "Sometimes his eyes the story when it comes to us trying to implement our knowledge and life history."
Kelly agreed, "It's just all that lovely awkward stuff that anyone who is a parent of a teenager... yeah, it's fun. We've watched him grow up. He started six years ago on the show, and he's grown into a man, a beautiful man."
Plus, they teased having Annette Bening in an adversarial role as rival rancher Beulah Jackson.

View StoryHauser called her character “sneaky, funny, weird.”
Kelly said, "Beth's quite good at, you know, judge of character and she doesn't trust her… and I think Beulah doesn't like or trust Beth. So, we get a lot of fun out of that, but at some point we're all going to need one another.”
Ed Harris also stars as veterinarian Everett McKinney.
Reilly said, "Ed Harris just come in with his heart and his earthiness and his just goodness.” Hauser added, “It does feel like the heartbeat of the show at times… I think he really helps ground not only Beth, but certainly Rip as well.”
