Yellowstone fans could see the series continue beyond the second half of season five, and one cast member is all for it. Actor Cole Hauser, aka Rip Dutton (above) on the show, spoke about the future of the series in a recent interview and said, “Let’s do it.”
While Hauser is all in to continue making Yellowstone, he acknowledges that the decision about continuing the original series or making a spin-off isn’t up to him, according to Deadline:
“I don’t make the decisions, brother — I’m a hired gun. Would I like a spinoff? Yeah. It’s been a pleasure working with this cast, with [series creator] Taylor Sheridan; why would we stop a good thing? Yeah, pen it and let’s do it.
I have the greatest office in the world. I’ve been saying that for seven years. I get to go out in nature, ride a horse, chase cows, cut rope, rein at times…it’s a very special role. At the same time too, I kind of kick myself, remind myself, this is about as good as it gets.”
Reports surfaced in August that Paramount Network was considering a sixth season of the drama even though it had already been announced that season five is the end.
Yellowstone follows the Dutton family as they run the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States. Hauser, Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Wes Bentley, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Forrie Smith, Denim Richards, Ian Bohen, Finn Little, Ryan Bingham, Gil Birmingham, Mo Brings Plenty, Wendy Moniz, Jen Landon, Kathryn Kelly star in the series from Sheridan.
The continuation would supposedly focus on Reilly and Hauser’s characters after star Kevin Costner’s departure at the end of the first half of season five. The series returns on November 10th.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Yellowstone? Would you rather see a sixth season or a spin-off of the Paramount Network series?
Yes please continue with Yellowstone with Beth and Rip the main characters. John Dutton had left left the ranch to Rip in a previous episode if anything happened to him. This is a way for Yellowstone to go on with them running the ranch.
Yes! They don’t need a spinoff- just kill off Costner’s character & move on. This is an ensemble drama, with great characters. No one will miss Costner, but we’ll sure miss the others. A Beth & Rip spinoff would be okay, too, just don’t stop everything because of one disgruntled actor!
Loved Yellowstone, but then it went to Paramount so I didn’t get to see the rest of the seasons. I wish they wouldn’t do that, start it on cable, then switch to another paying network. How many extra networks do we have to pay for? Seal Team did the same thing. Very disappointing.
Yellowstone started on cable TV, Paramount channel and has stayed on TV, Paramount channel. They even re-play the first 5 1/2 seasons every holiday weekend and every chance they get it seems like. I haven’t heard about this changing…for “Yellowstone”. Now all of Taylor Sheridan’s other shows and spin-offs, YES! They went straight to the Paramount+ streaming service, which sucks, cuz I’m with you and can’t afford to have so many different ones, especially paying $100+ a month for DirecTV satellite! But on DirecTV, Yellowstone can still be viewed on the Paramount channel, CMT channel and a few others I’m… Read more »
I would love to see either Yellowstone continue if the cast would continue but if not I’d love to see a spin off, which ever goes on longer. Is there any way that Taylor Sheridan can work it out with Kevin Costner, even if it’s just to end his character properly.
Yes! Please continue Yellowstone! Yes I will miss Kevin Costner & wish he & Taylor could have worked it out .However, Yellowstone is still a fabulous story & series & I love it & hope it continues on!
