The Untold Want
Fri, May 15, 2026 55 mins
Months after a wildfire destroys their Montana ranch, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) begin rebuilding their lives on a new ranch in Rio Paloma, Texas, alongside their adopted son, Carter (Finn Little). While Carter returns to high school to complete his education, Rip oversees the ranch's cattle operations with ranch hand Azul (J.R. Villarreal), and Beth manages the business and finances. When affluent ranch and slaughterhouse owner Beulah Jackson (Annette Bening) attempts to pressure Beth into an exploitative cattle processing arrangement, Beth decides to take their business elsewhere. Meanwhile, Rip has an altercation with Beulah's volatile son, Rob-Will (Jai Courtney). Unknown to Rip, Rob-Will had murdered Wes (Nakoa DeCoite), the Jackson ranch foreman the previous night. Carter is arrested at a rodeo after defending a girl named Oreana (Natalie Alyn Lind) from her aggressive boyfriend, and she later bails him out of jail. Beth also forms a connection with local veterinarian Everett McKinney (Ed Harris) after persuading him to save an injured horse rather than euthanize it. During a morning ride across the ranch, Rip discovers the partially buried body of Wes, the Jackson ranch foreman.
