Yellowstone spinoff with Beth and Rip already has some likely costars (hint: one is their son)

The Yellowstone spinoff with Beth and Rip is underway, it was revealed on Wednesday by Deadline.

Beth is played by British actress Kelly Reilly with fan favorite Rip played by Santa Barbara native Cole Hauser.

And there will be several familiar faces on it, the site reported but did not name names.

By looking closely at season five, there are some good guesses as to who will be hired for the new series from Paramount. 

One of them is Forrie J Smith, who plays cowboy Lloyd Pierce. He was asked by Rip to stay on at the Dutton ranch during season 5B.

Another is Carter, played by Finn Little. He plays the adopted son of Rip and Beth. It was made clear by Rip the boy would still be employed at Dutton Ranch no matter what.

One face who won't be seen: Ryan Bingham, who plays cowboy Walker whose on-screen lover Laramie is played by his real-life wife Hassie Harrison.

In last week's episode he clearly stated he would not stay in Montana but would be going back to Texas.

That seems to indicate he and his lady would likely be in a 6666 spinoff which has been long talked about.

Walker has said in a previous season that he used to work at 6666 and never should have left because real cowboys worked there.

Also not in the cards is Jefferson White who plays Jimmy as he is firmly employed by the 6666 ranch called 'the four sixes.'

Also not in the mix will be Sarah Atwood played Dawn Olivieri because she was killed by a hit men team.

And Colby, played by Denim Richards, won't be seen as he was offed by a horse in 5B. 

And it is not likely that Jamie Dutton played by Wes Bentley will be around as it has been suggested Beth will murder him in the December 15 finale.

But if he does not die, he would be the perfect villain for Beth and Rip.

Also, if Jamie sticks around somehow, there looks to be a chance that he will reunite with his baby mama Christine, played by Katherine Cunningham.

She was seen giving Jamie advice on 5B. 

Others who may join Beth and Rip at the ranch are Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce Dutton (though he said this season he wants to leave the ranch), and his wife Monica, played by Kelsey Absille.

Their son Tate, played by Breckin Merrill, would be a wise choice to add to the spinoff, as he has already bonded with Beth and Rip's son Carter which was highlighted again on last week's episode.

Jennifer Landon, who plays Teeter, may come back but she has already spent time on the ranch 6666 and may be headed for a spinoff.

Tribal Chairman Thomas Rainwater played by Gil Birmingham - who is a longtime friend of creator Taylor Sheridan - would likely appear on the show.

His loyal assistant Mo, played by Mo Brings Plenty, would be a smart save as well. 

There may also be more of Evelyn Dutton, played by Gretchen Mol. She will likely feature in flashback scenes as Beth's mother.

And there is a chance flashback scenes could include a young John Dutton, played by Josh Lucas.

It would be smart to bring back Bella Hadid, who did a great job as the hottie rider who dates Sheridan's cocky horse trainer.
