Kelly Reilly Confirms Yellowstone Series Finale in a Loving Goodbye to Fans

0 1 minute read

Only hours before the premiere of the last episode of Paramount Network’s Yellowstone, leading lady Kelly Reilly took to Instagram with a message for her colleagues as well as the Taylor Sheridan drama’s devoted audience. “I’m so deep into another role at the moment about another land worth fighting for in the UK,” the Englishwoman wrote, “but across the pond, the finale is happening tonight of the show. Whatever the future holds, this is the ending of the show we have been making for the past seven years.”

You may translate that statement any way you like, but we read it as yet another hint that Reilly and on-screen husband Cole Hauser — Rip Wheeler to her Beth Dutton — will, as reported, headline their own spinoff. (Read more on that here.)

“Words cannot convey how I feel about the people I got to work and create with over the seasons,” Reilly continued. “I have made true lifelong 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 [and] for Taylor Sheridan, who took a chance on me and continued to write [Beth] in ways I got to feel on fire as an actor. Thank you, Taylor.”

Reilly next extended her gratitude to the series’ viewers. “Thank you [to] the audience we made it for, for being on this journey with us,” she said. “We really cared about making something special for you all.”

With that, she told us to “enjoy tonight” and recommended you “get your tissues and your bourbon.”

Kicking off at 8/7c, “Life Is a Promise” will resolve the fate of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch — and, we have a hunch, send Beth’s treacherous brother Jamie to the train station.
