Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser Star in Yellowstone Season 6 Return

Yellowstone was initially expected to conclude with its fifth and final season, but recent reports suggest otherwise. According to Deadline, Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, who play fan-favorite characters Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, are negotiating for a sixth season installment.

Following Kevin Costner’s departure from the series, Kelly and Cole have been in talks for future episodes of Yellowstone for several months. While an official agreement hasn’t been reached, season 5B is scheduled to premiere this fall.

Earlier this week, the show’s Instagram account released a teaser trailer. The caption read, “Generations of blood have led to this. Don’t miss the epic return of Yellowstone Nov. 10, only on @paramountnetwork.”

Kevin Costner will be notably absent from the upcoming chapter, having confirmed his exit in June. In a heartfelt video, he addressed fans: “I want to reach out and let you know that after this long year and a half of working on Horizon and doing all the things that’s required, and thinking about Yellowstone, that beloved series that I love, that I know you love, I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue Season 5B or into the future.”

“It was something that really changed me,” he added. “I loved it. And I know you loved it. And I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning and I love the relationship we’ve been able to develop and I’ll see you at the movies.”

While Kevin has shifted his focus to the Horizon franchise, his Yellowstone co-stars have been filming season 5B in Montana throughout the summer.

In July, Kelly Reilly shared a heartfelt video from the set. “A few days ago gratitude spilled out of me every direction,” she wrote.

“The kindness of people. An Eagle circling above just before action was called. A huge pack of elk with their babies crossing ahead on the way home. The horses feeling the breeze as we walked down the hill. My dog that morning at the lake. My husband making me dinner when I came home bone tired.”

“The group of people that continue to make this wild show make it with all their hearts and guts, I’m so deeply proud to be running alongside them. The rawness and beauty of this year’s season is really something. Can’t wait to share it. November.”

Last week, Kelly thrilled fans with another update from the set. Pictured riding a horse, she wrote: “Goodbye Montana and into the dry heat of Texas, got to spend some time yesterday when not filming on @6666ranch to do one of the things I love most. Thank you Dusty for letting me try out the new saddle!!”
