Kelly Reilly Bids Farewell To Yellowstone
On Sunday, December 15, the Season 5 finale of Yellowstone finally aired. In the hours leading up to the episode, Kelly Reilly shared an emotional post on Instagram about the end of the show.
The actress shared the teaser trailer for the final episode alongside the following caption:
“Whatever the future holds this is the ending of the show we have been making for the past 7 years. Words cannot convey how I feel about the people I got to work and create with over the seasons. I have made true life long friends. The support from the crew and the trust and dedication of the cast . The words I got to say and the woman I got to inhabit. It changed me . It lit me up. It challenged me in every way possible and I will forever be grateful for it.“
She went on to thank co-creator Taylor Sheridan for taking a chance on her when he cast her over seven years ago, and for writing the character Beth “in ways I got to feel on fire as an actor.”
While we are still recovering from the epic Season 5 finale of Yellowstone, Kelly Reilly, has confirmed a report that she and Cole Hauser have signed on for a Yellowstone spin-off centered around Rip and Beth.
If you are not caught up on Season 5, Episode 14, read our full recap here.
On December 11, Deadline reported that Reilly and Hauser were on board with a spin-off
The publication said, “Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind Yellowstone and its ever-expanding universe, is working on the creative for the new show, which will likely feature other cast members from the mothership series alongside Reilly and Hauser.”
They added, “Led by Yellowstone characters played by the same actors in the same present-day time frame, the new offshoot shares the most DNA with the mothership of any shows in the Yellowstone universe to date, which explains why it will be the first spinoff to carry Yellowstone in the title, sources said.“

Beth Dutton herself confirmed the spin-off while responding to comments on her farewell post
A fan commented, “So is the rumour in the UK that you and Rip are making a spin off season not true! Whatever happens I’ve loved every second of every episode in every season. You guys are all amazing!!”
Reilly responded, “true”
Another fan praised her work in a long comment that ended with her saying, “Thank you for your impactful work. I hope you get a reprise the role because I personally am not finished watching Beth.”
Reilly responded, “Thank you for sharing this. You don’t have to be finished .. a new chapter is happening. I wasn’t ready to let her go either…thank you.”
Knowing we know now about how Yellowstone ended, it will be interesting to see which cast members will show up in this spin-off.
We’re sure there will be more moments between Beth and Carter, played by Finn Little. Watch the scene where Beth comforts Carter after Colby’s death, below.
