Kevin Costner was one of the most loved aspects ofYellowstone.The series highlighted the actor’s mesmerizing talent and many watched it because of his involvement. However, the news of his departure from the show came as a shock to all. No one had expected things to turn the way that they did and suddenly the series too had concluded.

Yellowstone’sfifth and final season is already underway and fans are hoping to see what the bittersweet end of the series will actually bring to them.Kevin Costnerhad a solid foundation when he wanted to leave the series, disagreeing about his character’s direction. When things were not changing even though he wanted them to, he thought it would be best to leave the show instead. Another actress who feels the same isKelly Reilly. The actress plays Beth Dutton inYellowstone.
“I mean, I have my hopes and thoughts for the character. Also, as I’ve played her for over five years now, I feel like I know her so well, but I’m still learning.”
Kelly Reilly was very unhappy with how her character was going. Having played Beth for half a decade, she has fused herself with the character wonderfully enough to understand how she acts or what she will do. Taylor Sheridan’s approach toward the character is the exact opposite of what she and the fans want to see.

Kelly Reilly Doesn’t ThinkYellowstoneWill Have A Happy Ending
Kelly Reilly’s sentiments towards her character are in a similar direction to what Kevin Costner’s sentiments were. Her attachment has allowed her to see exactly how her character should be. However, the script barely allows any room for change. With the fifth season still under development, the actress does not think that the ending would be happy.
“The main theme of protecting and sustaining this way of life in this land is the bottom of everything. So, I don’t know which way it’s going to go but we’re in Season 5, and who knows what’s in store,”Reilly stated. “Though it will probably be beautiful and epic, I’m not sure it will be happy.”
She added that it would be conclusive and beautiful, but it might not be a happy ending. She is not sure about the direction of the series either because things haven’t been going her way for a while now.
