Ed Harris complained initially about his limited part in the new show in Dutton Ranch, the Yellowstone spin-off. He thought the role was pointless and insisted on exiting. Harris told Variety, 'firmly Get me the f- out of here' as he threw his hands up. He later chose to return for Season 2 to rejoin for the sequel. The show’s boss tweaked the narrative and gave his character additional depth. That change made Harris opt to stay. Deadline now says he will return to the role.
