Yellowstone fans rejoice! Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser are returning to the Dutton-verse.
The fan-favorite stars, who played Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, respectively, in the hit western drama from 2018 to 2024, are coming back to the screen for a new spinoff series, PEOPLE can confirm.
The series, which has the working title The Dutton Ranch, will also see Finn Little return to play Beth and Rip's adopted son, Carter.
Annette Bening has also joined the cast, PEOPLE can confirm. The spinoff marks Bening's first foray into TV.
The spinoff will pick up after the Dutton's fight to keep their ranch, with Beth and Rip picking up the pieces.
"Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler are grateful for the peace they sought, fought, and nearly died for with their 7,000-acre Dutton Ranch," reads an official logline. "With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter becomes the man he's supposed to be."
Bening, 67, will play Beulah Jackson in the series, a "powerful, cunning and charming head of a major ranch in Texas."

Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler and Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton in 'Yellowstone'
Confirmation of Beth and Rip's spinoff comes after Deadline reported in December that Reilly and Hauser had inked deals to lead their own series. The outlet reported that other cast members from the original series were likely to make appearances alongside the duo.
Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan is set to executive produce the new series, alongside Hauser, 50, and Reilly, 48. David C. Glasser, John Linson, Art Linson, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Chad Feehan, Christina Voros and Keith Cox are also serving as executive producers. Chad Feehan will serve as showrunner.
After Yellowstone's conclusion last year, Hauser expressed his desire to continue his character's story.
"I think America has spoken. They still love the show. There's obviously just tons of people that every Sunday get together with their families, and we give them the experience of taking 'em out of their own living rooms and putting 'em in Montana and entertaining them," he told PEOPLE after the series finale. "And I think ultimately it's just that simple."

He played coy about the specifics of how his beloved character could make a return, but he teased, "We will see what happens over the next year or so and we'll see what's next."
"Hopefully, we can continue to get in people's living rooms and entertain them the way we have over the last seven years," he added.
Yellowstone's series finale, which aired on Dec. 15, paid tribute to renowned horseman Bob Avila and tied up several loose ends for the series.
Kayce (Luke Grimes) saved the Yellowstone Ranch by selling the land to High Chief Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), and Beth (Reilly) avenged the death of late patriarch John (Kevin Costner) by killing Jamie (Wes Bentley).
