Every Character Expected to Appear in Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2

Yellowstone is one of the most successful TV shows of the last decade, proving that it is still in high demand after rerun episodes from Season 1 were featured on CBS which amassed between 4 and 5 million viewers on average per episode.

The show’s success is largely thanks to its Western themes and political aspects, but also because of the cast that has been featured across its five seasons.

Kevin Costner – John Dutton

It is unclear just how much Costner will appear in Season 5 Part 2 due to controversy between the actor and series creator Taylor Sheridan that ultimately forced the upcoming installment to be the final batch of episodes for the show.

Costner reportedly only wanted to dedicate one week of his schedule to film Part 2 so that he could devote most of his time to his own upcoming Western drama, Horizon.

Costner’s John Dutton, who is now the governor of Montana, is currently at odds with his adopted son, Jamie Dutton. In the Season 5 Part 1 finale, Jamie officially called for John to be impeached, setting up a major conflict between the two characters and anyone else involved.

Costner is known as one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, being featured in films such as Dances with Wolves, The Postman, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Kelly Reilly – Beth Dutton

Kelly Reilly portrays John’s daughter, Beth Dutton, in Yellowstone. She is known for being very straightforward and willing to do absolutely anything to protect her family and the Dutton Ranch.

Beth should be right at her father’s side in Season 5 Part 2 as the pair strategically plan out how to deal with Jamie calling for John’s impeachment. If fans have learned anything from the series, it’s that Beth already hates Jamie to his core, which means that she will stop at nothing to aid John and deal with her brother once and for all.

Reilly is known for her roles in Eden Lake, Pride & Prejudice, and Kenneth Branagh’s 2023 film A Haunting in Venice.

Luke Grimes – Kayce Dutton

Luke Grimes’ Kayce Dutton is probably the most reasonable member of the entire Dutton family.

He had to quickly learn how to balance his involvement in the Dutton Ranch with his life as a husband and a father. After becoming a livestock commissioner earlier in the series, he recently gave up his badge and decided to devote more time to his family.

Grimes also appears in films such as Fifty Shades of Grey, American Sniper, and The Magnificent Seven.

Wes Bentley – Jamie Dutton

As previously mentioned, Wes Bentley’s Jamie Dutton is the adopted son of John Dutton. After finding out that revelation, Jamie sought out his biological father but was ultimately forced to kill him.

However, he quickly turned into one of the show’s biggest antagonists after he was talked into waging war against his family by Market Equities, the real estate company that is aiming to claim the Yellowstone territory in an attempt to build an airport in that area of Montana.

Bentley is also known for his roles in American Beauty, The Hunger Games, and Interstellar.

Cole Hauser – Rip Wheeler

Cole Hauser’s Rip Wheeler became a fan-favorite early on in Yellowstone due to just how likable the character is.

Rip essentially came from nothing and was forced to dedicate his entire life to John Dutton and the Yellowstone Ranch. He was even branded by John after he made the decision to kill one of the cowboys when Rip was just a teenager.

Rip’s loyalty to John and the ranch shines in many of Yellowstone‘s episodes. He was even given the main house on the ranch by John after he married Beth.

In Part 2, Rip will be leading a group of the Yellowstone’s cowboys down to Texas along with a large portion of the cattle. A disease began sweeping through that area of Montana, forcing the cattle to be moved so they wouldn’t be euthanized by the state.

Hauser is also known for his roles in 2 Fast 2 Furious, Good Will Hunting, and Dazed and Confused.

Kelsey Asbille – Monica Dutton

Monica Dutton is the wife of Kayce Dutton, portrayed by actress Kelsey Asbille.

Many fans didn’t initially see Monica’s point of view that Kayce should distance himself from the Yellowstone Ranch, but now almost everyone can agree that she is one of the strongest characters in the entire show.

Monica ultimately had to endure multiple hardships such as losing her brother, but most recently she had to deal with the death of her and Kayce’s second child due to a car accident.

Viewers will see her do anything necessary to protect her son, Tate, in Season 5 Part 2, and after all that she has had to go through, anyone who stands in her way will likely regret it.

Asbille is also featured in Fargo and Wind River.
