Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly Could Earn ‘Massive’ ‘Paydays’ for Future Seasons of ‘Dutton Ranch’

Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly have found a cash cow in Dutton Ranch.

A source says franchise bosses led by Taylor Sheridan are ready to pay the Yellowstone spinoff stars many tens of millions of dollars that’ll leave them financially set for the rest of their lives.

“All of them are envisioning a series that can go at least seven more years,” the source tells In Touch, adding that Hauser, 51, and Reilly, 48, “are very aligned and have a fearless and gritty bond when it comes to anything having to do with” Dutton Ranch.

“The passion on their part is real,” shares the source, “and the potential for massive, ongoing paydays is right in front of them.”

Hauser and Reilly “have been very patient over the sometimes chaotic last seven years,” the source hints of the Kevin Costner drama, “and they’ve been rewarded with a lot of power, a lot of money, and an army of fans who will show up in numbers to watch their story continue.”

When Dutton Ranch premiered on Friday, May 15, it set a new original series record for Paramount+, racking up 12.9 million views worldwide in its first week, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Neither of them have ever phoned in a performance,” reveals the source. “They’re strong, committed collaborators who are earning and actually gaining a lot of control over the future of their characters and where this whole post-Yellowstone story is going.”

That’s quite “unusual” for a Sheridan show, the source notes. “But it’s also reflective of the fact that Cole and Kelly play the two most popular and interesting characters in that whole universe.”
