Cole Hauser’s Emotional Comments About Yellowstone Ending Spark Spinoff Theory

by

Indeed, it seems that Yellowstone has concluded, and while I understand your feelings, I’m not too sentimental about the Montana ranch as there are more Yellowstone shows on the horizon, including the Rip and Beth spinoff. To borrow Taylor Swift’s words, it’s like “the end of a decade, but the start of an age.” Interestingly, Cole Hauser expressed some emotions about it all in a video about Taylor Sheridan’s original show, although I found his emotional state somewhat excessive since he will be reprising his role as Rip. However, this has led to speculation about how closely connected his new show might be to the original series.

Cole Hauser’s Comments About Yellowstone Ending

Now, don’t get this twisted, I think Hauser’s comments are sweet, and Season 5’s final episodes did indeed mark an end of sorts. However, in Yellowstone’s Instagram video about the “lasting legacy” of this series, what he said gave off the vibe that he would never play Rip again, and that’s not the case at all. Before we get into that though, here’s what the actor said:

It has been an immense privilege to portray this character, and this year is primarily about gathering the fragments. The act of concluding everything carries a profound melancholy, yet change is inevitable. Over the course of seven years, our time there has left an indelible mark on many hearts.

It seems like that statement could be rephrased as follows: Didn’t it appear to you that he was signaling a farewell to Rip during that interview? Perhaps, at the time they filmed the interview, he wasn’t aware of the spinoff. However, it was published later, after we had learned about the “Yellowstone” spinoff featuring Rip and Beth, and following the end of the main series’ final season.

It’s crucial to emphasize that my belief is that Hauser is being genuinely sincere in this instance. As I delve deeper into his statements, I find myself speculating about the potential roles of other Dutton family members and characters from Yellowstone in his upcoming spinoff series.

I Have A Theory That This Might Mean The Rip And Beth Spinoff Is Very Disconnected From Yellowstone

In the finale of “Yellowstone”, the ancestral Dutton family ranch was returned to its original Native American inhabitants, leaving Beth and Kayce on different paths. While Kayce managed to keep a small piece of his family’s land through negotiations, Beth along with her husband Rip and their adopted son Carter, chose to relocate to Dillon, Montana.

It’s unlikely that Rip and Beth’s spinoff will appear on the TV schedule in 2025, but there will be several shows by Taylor Sheridan airing instead, such as the Yellowstone prequel titled “1923”.

Moving on to Rip and Beth’s spinoff series, it seems reasonable that we’ll continue the story from where it ended, focusing on their new residence. Given the hints, it appears that the original Dutton ranch and many of the characters they engaged with there may not be part of this new tale. Yellowstone’s character, Hauser, expressing his emotional farewell suggests that this assumption could be accurate.

As a devoted movie enthusiast, I’ve got a hunch that Carter and Lloyd will be interwoven into Rip and Beth’s narrative in their upcoming series. However, it’s not clear to me who else might join the cast. The connection between these characters from Yellowstone doesn’t seem to extend much beyond that show. Hauser’s recent remarks about wrapping things up and moving on have only stoked the flames of my theory that this new series will forge its own path, distancing itself from the old one.

From my perspective as a movie critic, this fresh collaboration between Rip and Beth promises to steer clear of the familiar terrain depicted in “Yellowstone.” Instead, we’re in for a new setting, new personalities, and novel hurdles. Although Kevin Costner’s sentiments about the original series ending might seem overly emotional, I can understand his perspective.

The moment has arrived for us to find out what transpires when we meet Rip and Beth once more. Until then, you can catch up on Yellowstone and discover how the stories of Hauser and Kelly Reilly first unfolded by subscribing to Peacock.
