Cole Hauser, who plays Rip Wheeler on the Yellowstone spinoff "Dutton Ranch," says the cast endured brutal conditions while filming the show's first season in Texas. Hauser revealed the crew battled both scorching heat and freezing ice storms on set, according to KOMO News.
Despite the punishing weather, Hauser said he is pleased with how the season turned out. The first season of "Dutton Ranch" is now streaming on Paramount+, according to Fox San Antonio.
Texas Weather Threw Everything at the Cast
Filming in Texas meant the cast had no escape from the state's wild weather swings. Idaho News reported that Hauser described facing intense heat during parts of production. Then, without much warning, ice storms moved in and halted the work.
Texas is known for fast-changing weather. One day can bring triple-digit heat. The next can bring frozen roads and icy winds. For a TV production with outdoor ranch scenes, that kind of weather creates real problems — not just discomfort, according to WGME.
Hauser Proud Despite the Difficult Shoot
Even with the rough conditions, Hauser expressed pride in what the cast and crew pulled off. He said he plans to keep working on the show going forward, according to WWMT. His commitment signals that "Dutton Ranch" is built for a long run.
Hauser has played Rip Wheeler since the original "Yellowstone" debuted. The character became one of the most popular in the franchise. Fans of the original show have followed Hauser to the new spinoff, helping drive early interest in "Dutton Ranch," according to News Channel 9.
What Is Dutton Ranch and Where Can You Watch It
"Dutton Ranch" is a spinoff of the hit Paramount Network drama "Yellowstone," which starred Kevin Costner. The new show continues the Dutton family saga and airs on Paramount+. The first season is available to stream now, according to WACH.
The Yellowstone universe has grown into one of TV's biggest franchises. Spinoffs like "1883" and "1923" have pulled in millions of viewers. "Dutton Ranch" is the latest attempt to keep that audience engaged, according to Sioux Land News.
