Kelly Reilly might understand how “Yellowstone” ends, however the actor who’s introduced Beth Dutton to life on the hyper-popular Western present for 5 seasons and counting apparently wasn’t clued in early to her personal character’s ending. Earlier than information that the ultimate batch of episodes (which is technically season 5b, regardless of a virtually two-year hiatus) will drop in November broke, Reilly spoke to TVLine about Beth’s future, which is undoubtedly up within the air after her and her brother Jamie (Wes Bentley) just about vowed to kill one another the final time we noticed them.
“What would I hope for her? Peace, I feel,” Reilly instructed TVLine, forward of the ultimate episodes filming. “I do know the ending of the present, which I’ve identified for six years,” she admitted. “All of us knew what the ending can be.” In a separate interview with Leisure Weekly, Reilly mentioned that collection creator Taylor Sheridan instructed her how the present as an entire would wrap up throughout filming on season 1. Nonetheless, that does not cease the actor from dreaming of a contented ending for fiery Beth, a fan favourite character who generally appears to court docket chaos. “I definitely consider that she will discover that,” Reilly instructed the outlet. “Whether or not or not that is potential, I do not know. She’s such a warrior, is not she? Her motive to be is to guard. Her motive to be is to battle.”
The actor famous that Beth has been near discovering happiness up to now, however evidently the present — by advantage of primarily being a primetime cleaning soap about double-crosses, energy grabs, and homicide — all the time appears to have one thing else in thoughts. “I query doubtlessly whether or not happiness is allowed,” Reilly admitted. “Over the seasons, we have been in a position to see the place it’d exist. However she’s taken out of it so shortly. Possibly there is a future the place she’s not type of yanked out of her happiness.” If that future does exist, it won’t be on “Yellowstone,” however on one thing that might come after. Regardless of the forged and crew verifying that the hit flagship collection actually is ending, it is also been reported that Reilly and Cole Hauser, who performs Beth’s husband Rip Wheeler, are in talks to proceed their characters’ tales.
Beth’s story won’t finish anytime quickly
Reilly confirmed that one thing could be up Paramount’s sleeve in a current interview, saying, “There’s doubtlessly one other chapter. It is being talked about now.” She additionally famous that she’d be on board if Sheridan returned to write down the present, including, “He is the one which’s written each single line I’ve ever mentioned. [Beth] got here from his creativeness.” Reilly reassuringly famous that the pair are additionally “in settlement that there is a shift that has to happen” in order that the “Yellowstone” universe would not begin repeating itself. Possibly which means Beth might lastly get a style of the peace Reilly desires for her whereas nonetheless showing in a future collection in some capability.
Reilly’s “if” right here can be a giant one: Sheridan is notoriously busy, and “Yellowstone” star Kevin Costner has mentioned that he ultimately left the collection as a result of the screenwriter, who was engaged on a number of different exhibits on the time, stopped handing over scripts (a community rep has disputed this declare). It might most likely be sensible for the power multitasker to give attention to future incarnations of the present that is already super-beloved moderately than the half-dozen or extra different plates he has spinning, and to maintain Reilly concerned in any future storyline. As for the concept that Beth Dutton might sooner or later discover peace? The actor mentioned it’s going to take work. “Peace requires some digging and a few give up and letting go of outdated pains and hurts,” she instructed TVLine. That does not precisely sound just like the Beth followers know and love, nevertheless it would be good to see.
