“Yellowstone” Ends for Now: A Sensational Death for a Bad Guy And a Move to Texas

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

Jamie Dutton is dead. Wes Bentley’s brilliant villain has been killed thanks to sister Beth. Kelly Reilly now positioned as the marquee star of the next season.

This column told you exclusively that “Yellowstone” would go on. Thanks to all the outlets who failed to give us credit.

But Reilly and Luke Grimes are too good in these roles as sister and brother to let them just drift away.

Bentley made his money and is probably happy to see Jamie to get his just desserts.

Now the remaining characters can morph into a sequel series, maybe called “Yellowstone Redux.” Or “Knots Landing.” But the ranch is sold, and the survivors move to Texas. Maybe they can shoot the new show at Elon Musk’s property.

Reilly wrote on Instagram today:

“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.”

“When people see the ending of this season, there may be an understanding that there is a new beginning, potentially, as well. It could end perfectly where it is, or the new beginning is something that’s intrinsically part of this ending. Both would be beautiful, I have no attachment to either one of them,” Kelly Reilly told Town & Country magazine.
