As Yellowstone races toward its highly anticipated series finale, star Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler) has revealed some surprising truths about the final episodes. Further, after six seasons of riveting family drama and fierce ranch rivalries, fans have shared countless theories about how the story will conclude. However, Hauser has dropped a major revelation: none of these fan theories are right. “Everybody has their opinion of it,” he said, “and to be quite honest, none of them are right.” The twists in the Dutton family saga will be nothing like fans expect. 

The suspense was kept so high that even cast members were in the dark, as redacted scripts were shared to prevent leaks. The final episodes, which mark the end of this American neo-Western phenomenon, began airing on Paramount Network in the U.S., leaving fans eager for every new episode.

Season 5’s conclusion comes without the show’s original lead, Kevin Costner, who portrayed family patriarch John Dutton. Costner’s departure in 2023 marked a creative pivot for the show, as cast members like Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) admitted. While she found media reports on Costner’s exit exaggerated, she shared that the adjustment energized the cast and refocused the storyline in an authentic direction.

Created by Taylor Sheridan, Yellowstone has captivated audiences since its 2018 debut, earning top ratings in the U.S. and inspiring two spin-offs. The show follows the Dutton family, owners of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch, as they battle to protect their land and legacy against internal and external threats, including neighboring Broken Rock Reservation and Yellowstone National Park.

With its explosive final episodes, Yellowstone promises to leave a lasting legacy, staying true to Sheridan’s vision, as Cole Hauser hinted, with surprising twists and an unforgettable conclusion.
