Country Star Morgan Wade Cast in ‘Yellowstone’ Spin-off Series

In the latest addition of country musicians to the Yellowstone universe, singer Morgan Wade will soon be making her way to the ranch.

Yellowstone: Dutton Ranch, per its official logline, follows Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), "grateful for the peace they sought, fought, and nearly died for with their 7,000-acre Dutton Ranch," the description reads (via People). "With tough times and stiff competition, Beth and Rip do what they must to survive, all while ensuring Carter becomes the man he's supposed to be."

Wade will play Carol, "a bartender at the local watering hole in Rio Paloma, Texas, who sees all," according to Deadline's exclusive report on the casting. The second Yellowstone spin-off after Marshals, in addition to prequel shows 1883 and 1913, Dutton Ranch will premiere on Paramount+ on May 15.

The country star is best known for her songs "Wilder Days" and "Take Me Away", and has toured with Chris Stapleton, Zach Bryan, Luke Combs, and Alanis Morissette. Bryan is also set to appear on the new series, alongside fellow musicians Isaac Hoskins, and Shane Smith & The Saints, according to Deadline. The inclusion of musicians as characters in the Yellowstone franchise is nothing new, with stars such as Ryan Bingham and Lainey Wilson appearing in the original series.

Wade will be joining Dutton Ranch's cast, including main actors Annette Bening, Jai Courtney, Ed Harris, Marc Menchaca, Natalie Alyn Lind, Juan Pablo Raba, J.R. Villarreal, in addition to Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly, who are reprising their roles from the original Yellowstone series. Outside of the musical realm, fans of the reality TV series Real Housewives of Beverly Hills may recognize Morgan as a close friend and confidant of series legend Kyle Richards. Richards co-starred with Wade as her love interest in the music video for her single, "Fall in Love with Me."
