Issues weren’t trying too good for “Yellowstone” followers following the information that Kevin Costner wouldn’t be returning to the massively fashionable present. Costner, who performed collection lead John Dutton, was so integral to the collection that his exit seemingly brought on the present to break down altogether, culminating with the announcement that “Yellowstone” season 5, half 2 would be the ultimate installment.
Nevertheless, current studies that Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser are actually in talks to star in “Yellowstone” season 6 have given hope to followers of the collection. Reilly, who performs Dutton’s daughter Beth, and Hauser, who performs ranch foreman Rip Wheeler, had been beforehand regarded as heading over to the “Madison” spin-off present — the primary up to date companion collection to “Yellowstone.” Studies that each actors had been in talks to headline a sixth season of the mothership present appeared to throw doubt on the entire thing, nevertheless, making for a very complicated collection of occasions that was already fairly fraught following Costner’s controversial departure.
It needs to be mentioned that, at this stage, nothing official has been introduced — and it appears contracts are nonetheless but to be signed. What we do know, although, is that Reilly has one strict situation for returning to a Costner-less “Yellowstone,” and all of it has to do with the present’s creator, Taylor Sheridan.
Kelly Reilly will return so long as Taylor Sheridan is concerned
Taylor Sheridan has established an empire along with his “Yellowstone” universe, which at present boasts two prequel collection within the type of “1883” and the Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren-led “1923.” There are additionally a few spin-off collection within the works, together with the aforementioned “The Madison,” which can star Kurt Russell and Michelle Pfeiffer. Now, it appears to be like as if followers have an actual likelihood of seeing the present that began all of it proceed right into a sixth season. However to ensure that that season to contain Kelly Reilly as a collection lead, it appears Sheridan should make time in his busy schedule to jot down the scripts.
Chatting with Leisure Weekly, Reilly confirmed that she is certainly in talks to return, saying, “There’s doubtlessly one other chapter, it is being talked about now.” The actor, who has performed Beth Dutton since “Yellowstone” premiered in 2018, clarified that “nothing is about in stone,” earlier than including:
“But when Taylor desires to jot down it, I might need to do it. That is it. As a result of he is the one which’s written each single line I’ve ever mentioned. [Beth] got here from his creativeness. However we’re each in settlement that there is a shift that has to happen. As a result of you possibly can’t hold telling the identical story. This story is ending. ‘Yellowstone’ as we all know it’s ending, but when there’s extra story to inform with among the characters, it will be just a little completely different.”
As of but, simply what that story can be — or if it would even be instructed — stays unconfirmed. “Yellowstone” is about to air season 5 half 2 in December, and whereas this was initially purported to be the collection finale, the shortage of fanfare surrounding its debut suggests Paramount is assured the present will proceed. When the teaser for what was purported to be the ultimate installment arrived earlier this yr, there was no point out of a collection finale and even the suggestion that this might be the final go to to the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. So, there’s each likelihood that Paramount will do what it might to persuade Sheridan to maintain churning out scripts for the flagship collection, even when Reilly is true that “‘Yellowstone’ as we all know it’s ending.”
