Kelly Reilly’s Character Beth Still Smokes on Yellowstone Spin-Off Dutton Ranch

On Paramount+, fans of the hit series “Yellowstone” can now tune into the spin-off series “Dutton Ranch.” The show follows the beloved character Beth Dutton, played by Kelly Reilly, as she navigates life on the ranch and beyond.

From the start of “Yellowstone,” Beth has been known for her cigarette habit, and that aspect of her character is not going to change in “Dutton Ranch.” In a recent interview with TVLine, Reilly confirmed that Beth will continue smoking in the new series. While there was some consideration given to alternative methods like nicotine patches or gum, the creators felt that maintaining her smoking was an integral part of her character.

Despite her smoking, Beth and her partner Rip are shown to be evolving in other ways in the series. In the premiere of “Dutton Ranch,” Beth expresses a desire for simplicity and peace in their lives, reflecting a growth in their characters since the end of “Yellowstone.” Executive producer Christina Alexandra Voros describes this evolution as a layer of maturity that has come over both characters, allowing them to become a different version of themselves while retaining their fiery and complicated nature.

For fans wondering if Beth might quit smoking in the future or if it’s a crucial part of her character, the answer is clear—she will be lighting up for the present.
