[This story contains major spoilers from Dutton <\/em>Ranch\u2019s season one finale, \u201cEl Padrino.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dutton Ranch <\/em>star Natalie Alyn Lind gossiped with her castmates about what the season one finale of the Yellowstone<\/em> sequel series held in store for her character of Oreana Lynn Jackson. But nothing could\u2019ve prepared her for the one-two punch that came her way.<\/p>\n

For starters, the heiress to 10 Petal Ranch learned that she\u2019s pregnant, and while all signs point to Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) and Beth Dutton\u2019s (Kelly Reilly) adopted son, Carter Green (Finn Little), being the father, it\u2019s not necessarily an open-and-shut case. After all, the naive 19-year-old met Oreana after he jumped her 30-something steer wrestler boyfriend, Hoyt (Kyle Dondlinger), for getting too physical with her during a heated argument. Oreana and Carter immediately began their own relationship after she finally kicked Hoyt to the curb.<\/p>\n

\u201cOreana is a very unpredictable girl. So, in my heart, I believe that it\u2019s Carter\u2019s, but that\u2019s not a question that I have a definitive answer to,\u201d Lind tells The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of genius masterminds working on that right now for season two, and I have not been told one way or another.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s established early on in EP Taylor Sheridan\u2019s fifth Yellowstone<\/em> spinoff that Oreana does not want to follow in the footsteps of her grandmother, Beulah Jackson (Annette Bening). The latter became a young mother before eventually taking over her family\u2019s Rio Paloma, Texas ranch from her father.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Consequently, Oreana convinces Carter to run away with her without telling him the reason behind the impulsive decision. Upon her return home to pack for their getaway, she encounters her volatile father, Rob-Will (Jai Courtney), who\u2019s being unusually sentimental considering he\u2019s been the show\u2019s antagonist thus far.<\/p>\n

Oreana senses something is off, and sure enough, she hears a gunshot less than 30 seconds after he departed her bedroom. She proceeds to find her father\u2019s dead body near the front door before clocking that her adoptive uncle, Joaquin\/Kino (Juan Pablo Raba), is speeding away from the scene. The two brothers had been dueling all season long for future control of 10 Petal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was definitely shocked once I read the finale. I had heard that my character may or may not be pregnant. I wasn\u2019t expecting the death [of Rob-Will] and<\/em> Oreana\u2019s pregnancy to both happen,\u201d Lind says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lind had to do a lot of wailing upon discovering Rob-Will\u2019s lifeless body, but the waterworks weren\u2019t limited to just her coverage. When Bening, as Rob-Will\u2019s mother, arrived late on the scene, Lind couldn\u2019t keep it together off camera. \u201cWe were shooting the reverse of Annette, and even though the camera wasn\u2019t on me, I couldn\u2019t stop crying off screen because of the vulnerability that she brought to that scene,\u201d Lind shares.<\/p>\n

Season two of Paramount+\u2019s Dutton Ranch<\/em> has already been greenlit, but many questions linger: Who\u2019s the father of Oreana\u2019s baby? Will she now embrace her birthright after the murder of her father? Where is her unmentioned mother? Lind and the rest of the Jackson family actors received a great deal of backstory prior to filming the show, but it remains to be seen if that\u2019ll stick now that there\u2019s a new showrunner, Benjamin Cavell, in the fold. \u201cI know the mother\u2019s backstory, but nobody else does yet,\u201d Lind admits. \u201cI hope it\u2019s brought into season two, but I\u2019m going to leave it there for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lind is also a self-proclaimed \u201chorror addict,\u201d and every Halloween, she goes above and beyond to establish her bona fides. She recently took it a step further by self-producing her own horror movie called Halloween Store<\/em>. She leads the ensemble cast, as a masked killer begins targeting the staff of Spirit Halloween\u2019s lesser known competitor, Shriek Shack. The film is on the verge of finishing its sound mix for release later this year. For Lind, the endeavor was less about being a scream queen and more about shepherding a production.<\/p>\n

\u201cHalloween Store<\/em> was really about me being on the opposite side of the camera. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve always had an interest in since I was little,\u201d Lind says.<\/p>\n

Below, during a conversation with THR<\/em>, Lind \u2014\u00a0who\u2019s the older sister to Emily and Alyvia Alyn Lind \u2014\u00a0dives into Dutton Ranch<\/em> finale and what comes next, as she also discusses the well-adjusted dynamic of her showbiz family.<\/p>\n

***<\/strong><\/p>\n

How familiar were you with the <\/strong>Yellowstone<\/em><\/strong> universe going into <\/strong>Dutton Ranch<\/em><\/strong> auditions for Oreana Jackson?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been watching Yellowstone<\/em> since the beginning. I was such a huge fan of the franchise and the characters in this brilliantly created universe. So in getting my first meeting for Dutton Ranch<\/em>, I wasn\u2019t just excited because there was the potential of me being on the show; I was just as thrilled to know that, as a fan, Beth [Kelly Reilly] and Rip [Cole Hauser] were coming back. So it didn\u2019t feel like I was actually a part of it until I was on a horse at Cowboy Camp in Texas. It\u2019s bizarre when you\u2019ve been watching something for so long, and then, all of a sudden, you\u2019re a part of it. I still can\u2019t put it into words how crazy and how grateful I am for that.<\/p>\n

Did the casting process start with sending a self-tape off into the ether?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, I sent a tape to John Papsidera, who\u2019s probably my favorite casting director of all time. For a show like this, they don\u2019t give you a ton of context for who the character is. My first audition scene was the introduction scene where Oreana gets out of her boyfriend\u2019s truck, and she starts off just guns blazing. After I\u2019d booked the show, I wasn\u2019t even sure if that was her opening scene because I hadn\u2019t received a script yet. Perhaps we\u2019d see whatever brought her to that point of anger, so I love that you don\u2019t meet her before then. It\u2019s just such an intense way to come into a show, and that\u2019s her entire energy throughout the season.<\/p>\n

Did you test in person with anyone?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once I sent in a tape, I didn\u2019t really hear anything until two weeks later. I got a call saying that they wanted me to come to Texas in two days. So I got on a flight to Fort Worth where 12 to 14 other girls tested with me. It was such a supportive group of girls, and we all had a fun time staying at the Stockyards together. We thought of it as a little vacation to Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After we had the first day of testing, they brought us back in for a second day. I went in once, and then they pulled me aside to have me and Jai Courtney go into the room together.\u00a0 I was like, \u201cNice to meet you. I don\u2019t really know what\u2019s happening.\u201d We had to stand straight and then to the side. That night, I got on a flight to go home, and by the time I landed, I heard I had booked it. They gave me two days to get my stuff together before moving to Texas for six months. It was a whirlwind.<\/p>\n

How was it explained to you that your 24-year-old character would be dating a 19-year-old high school kid (Finn Little\u2019s Carter)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a very interesting dynamic because Oreana is a character who has been given everything to her on a silver platter. She\u2019s been told who she is and what her path is going to be. And she\u2019s now at a phase where she\u2019s trying to rebel against that. Within that, she is snarky and kind of acting like a child. You then have Carter, who\u2019s had a very rough upbringing having lost his parents, and he\u2019s now been uprooted from Montana by [his new guardians] Beth and Rip and taken to Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In episode one, you see Oreana\u2019s boyfriend Hoyt, who looks like he\u2019s around 30, and it shows that sometimes love doesn\u2019t have a number if there\u2019s a genuine connection. Carter brings this whimsical, childlike feeling that Oreana was robbed of when she was younger. So the fact that they do have this age difference is going to play a role in later seasons. They\u2019ll be at different stages in their lives, because it is a pretty major age difference. He can\u2019t even legally drink yet. My character has already gone to an amazing college and graduated at the top of her class. So she\u2019s a very, very smart girl, and she\u2019s seen a lot of life. And Carter, even though he is younger, has experienced more than some people in their 50s have.<\/p>\n

I feel so much secondhand embarrassment watching the Carter character operate. He makes every rookie mistake possible by love-bombing this more experienced young woman. Why do you think Oreana wasn\u2019t scared off by his emotional immaturity?\u00a0<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

Oreana is used to being in an environment where she\u2019s told what to do, and she\u2019s surrounded by a lot of very unauthentic people. Even within the Jackson family, everybody is very manipulative. So it\u2019s a breath of fresh air to see somebody that is genuinely not trying to be somebody they\u2019re not. And when he makes mistakes, it allows her to make mistakes as well, something she hasn\u2019t been able to do in her family.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s something kind of charming about Carter\u2019s uncoordinated love-bombing. She doesn\u2019t think of everything he says as staged or fake. She feels that it comes from a very real place, and she\u2019s not used to that. So when he says crazy things and that he loves her after three dates, it scares her in that she doesn\u2019t want to hurt him.\u00a0 But she\u2019s also not used to somebody genuinely loving her for her.<\/p>\n

She and Carter catch her boyfriend Hoyt being unfaithful and vandalize his truck. So it seems like she\u2019s dated a lot of guys who\u2019ve mostly mistreated her. It\u2019s Psychology 101, but she\u2019s probably been pursuing guys who are reminiscent of her father [Courtney\u2019s Rob-Will Jackson]. Is that also why she\u2019s giving this know-nothing kid a chance?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

One-hundred percent. Oreana is drawn to toxic people, not just toxic men; that includes the toxic people surrounding her. The people you love the most can also hurt you the most. So she walks around with this overwhelming sense of wanting to be enough because it\u2019s not something naturally given to her. She yearns for her father to step up and actually be a father. He\u2019s tried to be more of a friend for her entire life. She\u2019s also probably tired of cleaning up after his mistakes and not knowing if she\u2019s going to see him the next day. Her dad has been in and out of rehab his entire life, and it definitely plays into Oreana and Beulah\u2019s relationship. Oreana wasn\u2019t raised by her mother. Beulah was her parental figure because Rob-Will never tells her no. So it makes for a very messy dynamic, and she puts all of that hurt into the men that she dates.<\/p>\n

Is Taylor Sheridan like the Wizard of Oz during filming? Do you rarely see him since he\u2019s overseeing 48 shows at the same time?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Laughs<\/em>.) That\u2019s a perfect way to put it. I already knew Taylor for a couple years through family friends, and I\u2019m always in awe of how much he\u2019s able to accomplish. I don\u2019t know what his schedule is. I don\u2019t know how his brain works. Taylor being able to show up for one day on set is shocking to me. He\u2019s not our showrunner on Dutton<\/em> Ranch<\/em>, so he wasn\u2019t on set every day, but he is on set for multiple shows at multiple times. He really is the Wizard of Oz.<\/p>\n

Even though some of the shows are not directly connected to Yellowstone<\/em>, he\u2019s created this family dynamic between all the actors. I know people on Lioness<\/em> and The<\/em> Madison<\/em>. It just feels like one big happy family.<\/p>\n

You mentioned earlier that you attended Cowboy Camp, which is a rite of passage for Sheridan-verse actors. But you didn\u2019t really do any cowboying on the show. Did they just want you to bond with the rest of the cast?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was probably a combination of both. At the beginning of the season, I\u2019m not sure anyone fully knew where all of our characters were ultimately going to end up, so I think they wanted everyone to have that authentic experience and be prepared for whatever the story might require. I\u2019m hoping I get to do some horseback riding next season because now I have the skills.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But honestly, even if they knew from the start that Oreana wasn\u2019t going to be spending much time in the saddle, I\u2019m so grateful they sent me to Cowboy Camp. It gave me a real appreciation for the lifestyle and the world these characters live in. It was such a special bonding experience with the cast, and some of my favorite memories from the entire season came from those weeks at camp. So I wouldn\u2019t trade that experience for anything.<\/p>\n

Getting into the season one finale, were you able to read the script without being spoiled?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, there were so many different concepts. Our entire cast would sit around and talk about how we would hear things. We would hear birds chirping here and there. My predictions were not correct, but other people\u2019s were. We should have put bets down.<\/p>\n

I was definitely shocked once I read the finale. I heard that my character may or may not be pregnant. There were so many different variations of how it was going to go. I wasn\u2019t expecting the death [of Rob-Will] and<\/em> Oreana\u2019s pregnancy to both happen. The last episode feels like an action-packed movie. It\u2019s such a great episode, and it was really cool to watch because I\u2019m obviously not on set for every scene. I was so happy to see the way that the cast and [director] Christina [Alexandra Voros] brought what was on the page to life.<\/p>\n

As far as the pregnancy revelation, she broke up with Hoyt only a short while ago, but there\u2019s no question it\u2019s Carter\u2019s, right? Or is it supposed to be a big mystery?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know. Oreana is a very unpredictable girl. So, in my heart, I believe that it\u2019s Carter\u2019s, but that\u2019s not a question that I have a definitive answer to. There\u2019s a lot of genius masterminds working on that right now for season two, and I have not been told one way or another.<\/p>\n

At the party, she stuck a dagger in Carter\u2019s gut when she referenced her encounter with the guest who went to Texas A&M with her. But that was ancient history, not recent history?\u00a0<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

In that moment, I think that she was referring to ancient history. I don\u2019t believe the baby is his because of what transpires later with Beulah\u2019s heart attack. I don\u2019t think she had the chance to go back and have a fun time with College Guy that night. So I do believe that the last person she slept with was Carter, but that\u2019s just my personal interpretation of it. I have no facts to back that up.<\/p>\n

After the pregnancy news, she tracks down Carter and asks him to run away with her without telling him the real reason behind it all. Why does she choose that option now that she\u2019s with child?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oreana acts on instinct, and if she gets something in her mind, she\u2019s going to fulfill it. There\u2019s this moment of overwhelming possibilities as everything in her life is about to change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During her argument with Beulah (Annette Bening) in the second episode, she said she didn\u2019t want to be like her and take over the ranch. So maybe she feels that if she stays to have this child, she\u2019s bound to have the same life Beulah had?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beulah had Rob-Will when she was young, and Rob-Will had Oreana when he was young. This is definitely a family pattern. For the entire season, Oreana has been trying to do something different than the rest of her family. It\u2019s this moment of, There\u2019s so much trauma happening around us. Why are we a part of this? Why are we falling down the same path as our family members? Why are we not breaking the generational curse and trauma bond? Screw this. Genuinely, screw this. I have a genuine connection with you. Let\u2019s just leave. Let\u2019s separate from all of this. We don\u2019t have to be here anymore.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

Do you consider her to be more of a young Beth than a young Beulah?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Personally, I love when people make the comparison of Oreana and Beth, but she has parallels with both Beulah and Beth. Something that was very important to me from the beginning was creating Oreana\u2019s own individual identity. The entire Taylor Sheridan universe has done so well in not shying away from women who are not afraid to speak their mind and hold dominance in a conversation and kick some ass.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oreana is a product of her environment, and she admires and respects this powerful energy that comes from Beth. As a young, impressionable woman who has these two powerful women as influences in her life, she\u2019s going to pull elements from both. But from the beginning, I wanted to make sure that the power Oreana brings is different from Beulah or Beth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s going to be interesting in season two as my character develops. There\u2019s so much backstory, and before we started filming, the creative team sat [all the Jackson actors] down to give us the family\u2019s backstory. People have known the Duttons for years, and it almost feels like you know them personally because you\u2019ve seen them on television for almost ten years. But the Jacksons also have a backstory, and I\u2019m really looking forward to telling that story and explaining why Oreana is the way that she is.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been making television since the days when you were drinking juice boxes on set, so you probably know that whenever someone confesses their feelings and regrets in a climactic episode of TV, odds are they\u2019re going to die. Did you sense what was coming when Rob-Will spilled his guts to Oreana in her bedroom?\u00a0<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

I did! I am one of Jai Courtney\u2019s biggest fans as a person. I\u2019m so obsessed with his family, his wife Dina and their little girl. So I knew, subconsciously, it was going to happen, but I was really hoping that it wouldn\u2019t because I love Rob-Will\u2019s character. I\u2019m the type of person who is enamored by the evil villain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As I was reading, I was like, Oh, this is seeming a little bit too sweet<\/em>. Usually, when happy moments happen in any of these shows, then usually something ten times worse happens right afterwards. That scene brought tears to my eyes for so many different reasons, even though I had an inkling that it was going to happen. I was still hoping that it wouldn\u2019t happen, but it does make for really great television.<\/p>\n

And instead of cutting to a big showdown scene between Joaquin\/Kino (Juan Pablo Raba) and Rob-Will, the camera stays in Oreana\u2019s perspective. Were you pretty intimated that you were the one who\u2019d have to sell the season\u2019s biggest death?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Definitely. It\u2019s such a traumatic moment. Going into that scene, I just wanted it to feel extremely authentic. I obviously haven\u2019t had any similar circumstances, but I have dealt with a lot of loss in my life. Rob-Will and Oreana have never had an easy relationship, but I don\u2019t think that a lot of people understand that parents are also living their life for the first time too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her entire life, she has felt like her father loves the ranch more than her, and she feels the same thing about Beulah and Joaquin. Even my personal relationship with my father, I absolutely love my dad, but like Rob-Will, he has a hard time showing a more vulnerable side of himself. I wanted this sensitive moment to feel very genuine.<\/p>\n

The worst thing she could have done is run toward a gunshot. That is the opposite of what you\u2019re supposed to do in movies and shows, especially horror movies. But she could feel this energy from her father that something was wrong, and that\u2019s why she asks about it as he\u2019s leaving her bedroom. So she already knew what that sound meant, and her instinct was to run to him. It was just a very vulnerable, sad moment, and reading it on the page broke me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I really appreciated the fact that she didn\u2019t peek out the door first. That was definitely a conversation. Would she run directly toward this gunshot sound? Would she scream his name first? <\/em>But with the people that you love, you feel something subconsciously, and that\u2019s why I really enjoyed that she jumped into action right away.<\/p>\n

How many takes did you have to do of Oreana wailing over Rob-Will\u2019s body?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quite a few. Christina Voros \u2014\u00a0our director, DP, executive producer \u2014 is one of the best directors I have ever worked with. She\u2019s an actor\u2019s dream. She is so compassionate, and she has such understanding for character development. So she made it as comfortable and easy as possible for me. Jai and Annette did too. But even the minimum amount of takes have so many angles to capture, especially for such an important moment. So I don\u2019t remember exactly how many there were, but it definitely wasn\u2019t a one-and-done.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Annette\u2019s character walks in at the end and sees Oreana sitting over her father, it\u2019s such a heartbreaking moment. We were shooting the reverse of Annette, and even though the camera wasn\u2019t on me, I couldn\u2019t stop crying off screen because of the vulnerability that she brought to that scene.<\/p>\n

Oreana then looks outside to see Kino\u2019s SUV driving away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, that was definitely a very important moment for her to see his car pull away. I\u2019m very interested to see what she\u2019s going to do with that information in season two. I don\u2019t know what she\u2019s going to do exactly, but she definitely feels like it\u2019s Kino.<\/p>\n

Dutton Ranch<\/em> season two has already been greenlit, and THR<\/em> just reported about new showrunner Benjamin Cavell moments before this interview. I heard you say somewhere that it\u2019s not yet official that you\u2019ll be back, but based on the season one finale, I don\u2019t see any world where you don\u2019t come back \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

I saw that too, and it\u2019s so funny to see what tidbits are taken from interviews. Somebody asked me about a spoiler for season two, and I didn\u2019t want to jeopardize being brought back for season two. So that was a joke, although you never know. I am not going to say it\u2019s 100 hundred percent, but that was definitely me being coy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her mother hasn\u2019t been mentioned in any real way, but I would wager that Rob-Will\u2019s death opens the door for her to return to Oreana\u2019s life in some capacity. Is that something you\u2019ve thought about at all?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know the mother\u2019s backstory, but nobody else does yet. I hope it\u2019s brought into season two, but I\u2019m going to leave it there for now. There\u2019s definitely a lot more to find out about the Jacksons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now that her dad has been killed by her adoptive uncle, I wonder if that changes her motivation to not have Beulah\u2019s life. She\u2019s now next in line to inherit the family business, and maybe she\u2019ll embrace it for her dad\u2019s sake.\u00a0<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll definitely be interesting going forward. There was no way to predict this happening in Oreana\u2019s life. Between the pregnancy and also losing her father, Oreana is going to come back in season two as a completely different character. Something unfathomable happened to her, and any perspective she had on life is guaranteed to change. I\u2019m really excited to see what that means and where it takes her.<\/p>\n

Your family business is show business and, unlike Oreana, you obviously want to be in the family business. At the same time, you also started acting at 5 or 6 so you probably have no memory of your short life before it. Did you ever reach a point where you stopped to ask your grown-up self: \u201cDo I truly love this, or is it just the only life I\u2019ve ever known?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s never been that moment, and I feel like I can freely say that for me and my two younger sisters. This was not something that our parents wanted us to get into at the time. There are a lot of scenarios where parents want their kids to be in this industry so they can capitalize off of their kids. So we had to beg our parents to let us do this. My sisters and I love acting so much. We love creating and storytelling.<\/p>\n

When we were younger, we\u2019d watch our mom [Barbara Alyn Woods] on set, and we were so inspired by the characters that she would create. There was this glamorous element of going to set with her and watching her in hair and makeup. It was always really funny to us if our mom was playing a raging alcoholic on TV because she could not be more opposite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With my mom and my dad [AD\/producer John Lind] also being in this industry, we\u2019re all able to have conversations and relate to each other about so many of the crazy circumstances that happen within this industry. So I value their opinion when it comes to anything that I do. Any move I\u2019ve made in terms of projects will go through them because I know that they have the best opinions. I\u2019m just so grateful to have that family dynamic.<\/p>\n

An actor named <\/strong>Emily Alyn Lind<\/strong> told me you\u2019re a big fan of horror movies, and that made sense to me because I talked to <\/strong>Lindsey Beer<\/strong> during the strikes about Pet Sematary: Bloodlines<\/em>. And I remember you drowning in mud on that movie.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I just saw Lindsey last week! We went and got coffee. That\u2019s so funny. And I know Emily decently well. I\u2019ve worked with her a couple times in the past.<\/p>\n

That leads us to <\/strong>Halloween Store<\/em><\/strong>. My theory is that you weren\u2019t satisfied with the quantity of horror movies you\u2019ve made, and so you decided to do something about it by self-producing. How right or wrong is that idea?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t really think about it in that way. Halloween Store<\/em> was really about me producing and being on the opposite side of the camera. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve always had an interest in since I was little, and the strike is when I started thinking about actually doing it. So it wasn\u2019t necessarily because I wanted to be in more horror films. I just wanted to produce something, and horror has always been a constant and a passion in my life. It\u2019s my favorite thing in every aspect.<\/p>\n

In general, I absolutely love that feeling that you get in your chest when watching horror movies. And recently, with directors like Ari Aster, there\u2019s a completely different side of horror that\u2019s being taken very seriously. [Dutton Ranch<\/em> co-star] Ed\u2019s [Harris] wife, Amy Madigan, just won an Oscar for a horror film [Weapons<\/em>]. So the entire genre is turning a page, and I could not be happier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So it made sense for the first movie I produced to be a horror film. I want to continue to do a lot of horror movies, but I\u2019m definitely interested in tapping into a lot of different genres.<\/p>\n

Did you catch <\/strong>Obsession<\/em><\/strong> and <\/strong>Backrooms<\/em><\/strong> fever? Or have you been too busy with <\/strong>Dutton Ranch <\/em><\/strong>and <\/strong>Halloween Store<\/em><\/strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I cannot believe that I\u2019m one of the only people who has not seen Obsession<\/em> yet. It\u2019s only one of the most successful movies ever. But I have seen Backrooms<\/em>, and I was absolutely blown away by it. Halloween Store<\/em> is in its last two days of editing. We\u2019re finishing our sound mix. So I\u2019m about to be freed up to finally see Obsession<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I am just so excited that young creators are able to come into these worlds and have these unimaginable visions from such a young age. It\u2019s so inspiring. And now that I\u2019m in the producing world, I\u2019m in the process of developing two other films. So I feel very inspired by my fellow peers. Obsession<\/em>\u2019s Cooper Tomlinson plays a deputy on Dutton Ranch<\/em> \u2026<\/p>\n

I just spoke to <\/strong>Cooper<\/strong>, and weirdly, I happened to fire up my Dutton Ranch<\/em> screeners right after I saw Obsession<\/em>. I did the ultimate double take when I saw him in a cowboy hat.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

Yeah, we started the show back in July [2025], and I talked to him about Obsession <\/em>almost a year before it became one of the biggest movies of all time. So they have opened another new chapter in horror, and it\u2019s thrilling as a fan and as a creator.<\/p>\n

Lastly, decades from now, when you look back on <\/strong>Dutton Ranch<\/em><\/strong> season one, what day will you likely recall first?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The entire 10 Petal Ranch anniversary party was the first time that all the characters and storylines collided on the show. It was the first time that we were all together in the middle of Texas. It was three in the morning, and it was absolutely freezing. So we just started playing games, and at three in the morning, you start becoming really slap-happy. All of us were laughing and smiling and sharing stories while huddled next to a little space heater. You look one way, and Cole Hauser and Ed Harris are having one conversation. You look the other way and Annette Bening and Kelly Reilly are chatting. And then there\u2019s me sitting with Jai Courtney, Juan Pablo Raba and Finn Little. Just seeing how kind everybody is and how happy everybody was to be there is something that I will always remember. I have so much gratitude that I was a part of it, and my heart is so full.\u00a0<\/p>\n
