Cole Hauser is giving fans a glimpse behind the scenes of “Dutton Ranch” \u2014 and it wasn’t all smooth riding.<\/p>\n

The actor, who reprises his fan-favorite role as Rip Wheeler in the “Yellowstone” spin-off, acknowledged the cast faced an uphill battle after franchise creator Taylor Sheridan stepped away from the show’s writers’ room during the spin-off\u2019s first season.<\/p>\n

“There were challenges, you know?” Hauser told Film Inside NYC<\/a>. “Not having Taylor [Sheridan] there, for us to really kind of be able to work with these new writers, these new directors, these people… Everything had changed.”<\/p>\n

ED HARRIS SAYS HE WAS READY TO LEAVE DUTTON RANCH AFTER FEELING MISLED ABOUT HIS ROLE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“The only\u2026 normality that we had whatsoever was Carter [played by Finn Little], Christina [director Alexandra Voros] \u2026 Kelly and myself,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Dutton Ranch,” which wrapped its first season earlier this month, marked the first series in the “Yellowstone” universe not to be written by Sheridan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the franchise creator remained on board as an executive producer, day-to-day creative duties shifted to showrunner Chad Feehan and an entirely new writing staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For Hauser, the transition wasn’t seamless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I enjoy a challenge, it certainly was a challenge,” he said. “We worked our a–es off this year… And I don’t think a lot of the outside noise or the thought of, like, ‘What’s the weight of the show?’ was really apparent to me at the time.”<\/p>\n

Rather than dwell on the expectations surrounding one of television’s biggest franchises, Hauser said the cast focused on finding its footing with an unfamiliar creative team.<\/p>\n

The actor pointed out that the experience ultimately strengthened the cast.<\/p>\n

“It was about putting my head down and working my a– off with\u2026 what I had around me. The writers that we had, the new writers that we had, that we had to figure out on our feet how to really perform and tell a story. So, I’m proud of what we accomplished, and I look forward to doing it again.”<\/p>\n

Hauser’s comments come after speculation surrounding the show’s creative direction.<\/p>\n

The franchise faced scrutiny following blunt comments from co-star Ed Harris, who said he was disappointed by how his character, Everett McKinney, was handled during Season 1.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Variety<\/a>, Harris said, “Midway through this first season, I was ready to say, ‘Get me the f— out of here,’ to tell you the truth… I didn’t feel I was being used… I felt a little bit misled.”<\/p>\n

Harris claimed he signed on believing Everett would be one of the show’s central characters, but felt that promise never materialized.<\/p>\n

“Prior to signing on for it, I talked quite a bit about what the season was and what my character was going to do. That I was one of the four main characters. And that wasn’t really the case,” Harris said, adding that he also was disappointed a scene in which his character sang was ultimately cut from the final edit.<\/p>\n

The Oscar-nominated actor said producers have assured him his role will expand when production resumes.<\/p>\n

“We don’t start [Season 2] until February,” Harris said. “And I’m being told that my character will have a little bit more to do. It just was a little frustrating, to tell you the truth.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
