The highly anticipated season finale of Yellowstone airs tonight, bringing the ongoing battle to save the ranch between Beth, Kayce, and Jamie to a boiling point. However, before that, fans are left wondering about the future of the neo-Western drama.
Season 5B premiered on November 10, marking a pivotal moment in the series as John Dutton’s death shook the characters and storyline. An investigation revealed Sarah Atwood, Jamie’s girlfriend, was responsible for the murder. Her own demise soon followed after being gunned down in her vehicle.
As the finale approaches, Beth and Kayce are determined to save the ranch despite plans by the new governor to develop the property, which contradicts John’s wishes. Meanwhile, fans speculate about what comes next as the series concludes with Season 5.
In a surprising turn of events, lead actors Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser have finalized deals to star in a spinoff series, reprising their roles as Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, respectively. Sheridan is developing the spinoff, which will feature original characters and likely include “Yellowstone” in the title.
While Season 6 seems uncertain, Deadline reported lead actors re-signed for the spinoff. Kelly Reilly stated they’re focused on wrapping up Chapter 5 and would be open to future projects if Taylor Sheridan writes something special. Cole Hauser expressed enthusiasm about reprising his role, seeing no limits or walls for their characters.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Yellowstone spinoff series and the future of the original series as it concludes with Season 5B tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Paramount Network.
