Kelly Reilly, Yellowstone's Beth actress, has mixed reactions to reports about season six and the spin-offs

Yellowstone Star Kelly Reilly discusses her future on the show and whether she will reprise the role of Beth Dutton. It's been almost two years since the new episode of the hit western drama premiered. A lot has changed for the franchise in that time, with Kevin Costner officially leaving the central role of John Dutton, not to mention the announcement of further spin-offs to the Taylor Sheridan series. But what happens to the main series after that? Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 remains unclear.

In an interview with The New York Times to discuss Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 premiering Sunday, November 10 at 8:00 p.m. ET on the Paramount NetworkReilly talks about what was next for her after the upcoming episodes conclude. Although the actress is ready to continue as Beth Dutton, she described the series' possible future as “a new beginning.” Also in the quote below expresses some concern about continuing in the role:

If there is a new beginning, it is a new beginning. I think, all right, let's get up and put on our big girl pants.

It's a great energy. This is not something I need in my body. I love them, but I'm very happy to let them disappear.

The speculation continues

The consequences of Costner's exit are looming Yellowstonewith a starry spin-off that goes through a few possible forms before settling on the title The Madison. Directed by Michelle Pfeiffer, the three-time Oscar nominee is joined by Kurt Russell, Patrick J. Adams, Beau Garrett and Matthew Fox, among others, to tell the story of a New York family in Montana.

1883's Dawn Olivieri plays a major villain role in Yellowstone's fifth season. Here are the other new additions to the neo-Western's final season.

The status of Yellowstone Season 6 is less immediately clear. Discussions are reportedly ongoing about whether Reilly and co-star Cole Hauser will return as fan-favorite couple Beth and Ripbut that is not confirmed. It could be that top executives remain focused on the return of season five and don't want to preemptively spoil any results. If that's the direction, that could be the reason why the cast and crew aren't directly commenting on the future of the series.

Yellowstone has a lot to overcome

Yellowstone Season 5 Part 1 ended with a major showdown between siblings Beth and Jamie Dutton with deadly undertones. So it makes sense that those involved with the Western wouldn't necessarily want to reveal what happens next. Since the story of the remaining episodes is kept top secret, it's no surprise that what happens after the series ends is also kept secret. Once this phase of the franchise is complete, there will likely be more clarity about the Paramount hit.

In “Yellowstone” Kevin Costner plays the main role and the focus is on his character John Dutton. Dutton and his family live on a cattle ranch just hours from Yellowstone National Park. The series follows the family's struggle to defend their home from an Indian reservation and land developers. As if their lives weren't complicated enough, the Duttons also struggle with medical problems, political ambitions and family secrets.
