Dutton Ranch is returning for a second season on Paramount+ and fans are curious about the major change that will be happening behind-the-scenes.
If you did not hear the news, season 1 showrunner Chad Feehan has exited the series and is being replaced by Seal Team‘s Benjamin Cavell for season 2.
Here’s how the stars reacted to the Dutton Ranch showrunner change
Star Cole Hauser previously addressed the behind-the-scenes change, telling THR, “Showrunners change all the time. This business is about adapting. We’ve been doing this for a long time. Things change. People move on.”
Star Kelly Reilly also said, “We finished [season one] with Chad beautifully. We finished this season together. It was a really difficult but really satisfying show to make. And so was Yellowstone. So is anything worth making.”
She added, “We’re all creative minds and we all work together and I’m so proud of that.”
Here’s what Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly are looking forward to with this showrunner change
Cole told THR, “I have a dear friend who worked with him on SEAL Team for six or seven seasons. He’s somebody I trust with my life. We went to boot camp together; a lot of time in the jungle together in Louisiana. So it was his recommendation of Ben, and the way creatively that Ben is and the kind of person he is and how his mind works, and we saw a glimpse of it. We had a very good meeting with him, and I cannot wait for this new iteration of Ben and his team of guys that he hires, along with David Glasser and the people who are involved, and to really sink our teeth into what this next show is going to be. And we’re not there yet. This is very early in the process. But I get home, and I know Kelly is chomping at the bit, and we’ll get into it and have some fun.”
Kelly added, “Christina Voros is our executive producer, director and lighthouse creative. She’s been with us from season one of Yellowstone. Everything we do goes through her brain because she’s so brilliant, and she’s going to be working with Ben. I feel like we’ve got a bit of an A-team. I think Taylor is going to be involved as far as some story ideas as well, which is great. So I feel excited about a season two because I want it to be better. I want it to be great. I’m excited to get my hands dirty after a bit of time to digest what we’ve just done. I think time and thought is important. You have to have that. It’s not a machine. We all know that it can be, but I like that we have time to really be thoughtful and go, what could this be?“
