How to watch ‘Dutton Ranch’ for free on Paramount+

However, Paramount+ does not offer a standard free trial, which means you cannot simply sign up and watch for free.

Walmart+ workaround: One workaround is Walmart’s membership program, Walmart+, which offers a 30‑day free trial. One of its included benefits is access to Paramount+ Essential (ad‑supported) at no additional cost.

What is ‘Dutton Ranch’ about?

“Dutton Ranch” continues the story of one of “Yellowstone’s” most intense and beloved couples, Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, as they attempt to rebuild their lives after losing everything in Montana.

Relocating to South Texas with Carter, the pair take on the daunting challenge of running a massive 7,000-acre ranch in unfamiliar territory. But starting over proves anything but simple. Far from escaping their past, they’re thrust into a brutal new environment where alliances are scarce, tensions run high, and survival comes at a steep cost.

In Texas, the Duttons quickly find themselves outnumbered and outmatched by a powerful rival ranching family led by Beulah Jackson (Annette Bening) and her sons who will stop at nothing to protect their empire.
