With a handful of new Yellowstone spinoffs on the way, one cast member’s commitment to another show might hint that nothing is certain when it comes to the future of the Duttons.
Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2will signal the end of this era of the Dutton family and their ranch, butTaylor Sheridanhas been hard at work trying to keep his signature Western franchise alive.
Once the main series comes to a close (without Kevin Costner in the lead), there are at least three spinoffs on the horizon:1944,The Madison, and6666. It’s also thought there’s potential for a Beth and Rip-focused spinoff, after actor Cole Hauser previously droppedhintsthat there’s more to come for the pair.
Whether Beth and Rip will continue their story in a new show altogether or join the cast of The Madison remains to be seen, but Kelly Reilly (who plays Beth) has already lined-up a new project unrelated to the ranch drama. All this suggests that Beth’s inclusion in Yellowstone’s future might be smaller than previously thought.
As the connection to years-old cold case begins to unfold, Jackie’s old partner Eric is summoned back to the small town in Wales to help uncover buried secrets in the community.
It all sounds pretty exciting, and definitely a series set to catch the eyes of the biggesttrue crimeand thriller fans. However, this does pose the question of whether Reilly will remain available for the upcomingYellowstone spinoffs.

Even so, if the Beth and Rip spinoff is a real possibility, Reilly’s commitment to Under Salt Marsh would rule out production on any further Dutton-based shows involving her, for now.
Either this means that Beth Dutton will appear minimally in The Madison (if at all), or that both this spinoff and any possible Beth and Rip spinoff won’t be going into production anytime soon.
