The Pair Encounters New Challenges in Texas
In Dutton Ranch, Beth and Rip trade their Montana background for a fresh start in South Texas, joined by their adopted son, Carter (Finn Little).

The cast also includes Juan Pablo Raba as Joaquin Jackson Reyes, Jai Courtney as Rob-Will Jackson, J.R. Villarreal as Azul Ramos, Marc Menchaca as Zachariah Moss, Natalie Alyn Lind as Oreana Lynn Jackson, and Ed Harris as Everett McKinney.
