Dutton Ranch star Natalie Alyn Lind teases shock career move ahead of show's second season

She's the breakout star of Paramount+'s biggest show Dutton Ranch, but that isn't stopping Natalie Alyn Lind from pursuing her dream of competing on Survivor.

Speaking to Daily Mail at the launch of Crown Royal whiskey's Bring It campaign in , the 26-year-old said that she has her sights set on joining the long-running competition series.

'I went to the Survivor finale and I was talking to the producers and they said they want me, I'm just trying to figure out if it makes sense with filming season two of Dutton Ranch,' she said.

'I have prior commitments so I'm going to stay loyal to Dutton Ranch and then I'm gonna go on,' she continued.

'I will be on Survivor. It's not an if, it's a when!' she added.

Despite her reality TV dreams, Lind is excited to start working on the next season of Dutton Ranch.

She also teased the upcoming season one finale, which airs July 3.

'Episode nine that's about to come out, that episode takes everything that's been said the entire season and flips it,' she teased.

'I really don't think anybody's gonna see things coming. There is a very specific scene that I'm talking about... I can't say too much,' she continued.

'There are characters that you love and characters that you hate and everything is flipped.'

Lind plays Oreana Lynn Jackson in the Yellowstone spin-off Dutton Ranch.

Her character is the love interest of Carter Green, who is the foster son of series villain Beth Dutton, famously played by actress Kelly Reilly.

After premiering in March, Dutton Ranch became the biggest original series launch in Paramount+ history. 

Lind spent Thursday night at country music hotspot Desert 5 Spot in Hollywood to promote her collaboration with Crown Royal.

The Los Angeles-born actress admitted that filming Dutton Ranch on location in Texas has turned her into a huge whiskey fan. 

'There's so much whiskey drinking out there and that's kind of the cowboy thing to do, so I found myself drinking more whiskey than I ever have,' she said.

'I also did a TV show in Nashville and whiskey's major there as well. And I've always drank Crown Royal, especially the green apple flavor - I love it!'

In addition to Dutton Ranch and her dreams of competing on Survivor, Lind has also started her own production company, Big Bad Pig Productions. 

The company's first project is the horror-comedy Halloween Store, which Lind stars in. 

The film follows a group of friends and co-workers who find themselves trapped inside of a costume store on Halloween while a masked killer is on the loose.
