• ‘Dutton Ranch’ premieres on May 15.
  • The highly anticipated ‘Yellowstone’ spinoff will continue Beth and Rip’s story.
  • There are two ways to watch the new series.

It’s finally here! Yellowstone fans have been pining for more of Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler’s story, and it’s officially time to tune in to Dutton Ranch. But, as with many of the Yellowstone universe shows, there seems to be some confusion about how to watch. Fortunately for fans, there are two ways to tune in.

Unlike many of the Yellowstone spinoffs,Dutton Ranch will air on both Paramount+ and Paramount Network. So if you have the streaming service or cable TV with Paramount Network, you are covered. You can also watch on any streaming service with live TV like Philo (which has a seven-day free trial).

The big difference is the timing. The first two episodes are expected to drop on Paramount+ on May 15 at 3 a.m. EST. But you’ll have to wait until 8 p.m. EST on May 15 to watch them on Paramount Network. The network is airing an encore presentation immediately following the premiere episodes.

Any confusion is understandable—Yellowstone aired exclusively on Paramount Network, and spinoffs 1883 and 1923, plus other Taylor Sheridan shows like The Madison and Landman, are exclusive to Paramount+. Except Marshals, which airs on CBS (whew!). So this news should come as a pleasant surprise.

After the May 15 premiere, Paramount+ and Paramount Network will air one episode per week until the finale. Here’s the full schedule:

May 15, Episode 1: “The Untold Want”

May 15, Episode 2: “Earn Another Day”

May 22, Episode 3: “Act of God Business”

May 29, Episode 4: “Start with a Bullet”

June 5, Episode 5:

June 12, Episode 6:

June 19, Episode 7:

June 26, Episode 8:

July 3, Episode 9:
