Casting Kevin Costner’s Replacement For Beth & Rip’s Yellowstone Spinoff: 10 Actors Who Would Be Perfect

As the Dutton family patriarch, John III was the beating heart of Yellowstone and most of the action revolved around him. Because of his stoic personality and traditional values, he would often bottle them up. Fiercely loyal and devoted to legacy, he had his flaws but always tried to stick to his guns and do what he thought needed to be done. Whoever fills the role in the Beth and Rip Yellowstone spinoff should be able to represent similar traits, and be able to carry the emotional weight connected with the leadership position

There is one Kevin Costner, and there was only one John Dutton III, but the franchise must go on, and the upcoming Yellowstone spin-off following Beth and Rip is looking for someone to fill his cowboy boots. Though the casting choices have not yet been confirmed, if the goal is to find someone of Costner’s ilk as John Dutton III, there is a pool of contenders who could fit the bill very well. The person needs to have a certain gravitas, feel comfortable in the western setting, and be both imposing and charismatic at the same time.
