Yellowstone season 5 part 2’s ending gets teased by director Christina Voros, who teased an “unexpected and inevitable” conclusion to the show akin to a Shakespeare play. Yellowstone season 5 part 2 is shaping up to be quite different from previous installments, with Kevin Costner’s John Dutton no longer in the picture after the actor left the show. Instead, the main conflict centers around John’s daughter, Beth (Kelly Reilly), and son, Jamie (Wes Bentley), with his other son Kayce (Luke Grimes) caught in the middle. The final episodes will forever determine the future of the show’s titular Ranch.
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Voros teased an “unexpected and inevitable” ending to Yellowstone, explaining how season 5 part 2’s ending will feel right because of everything the show’s been building toward. The director also praised creator and writer Taylor Sheridan for the forthcoming conclusion, satisfied with how he managed to end the show in a fitting, surprising way. Check out what Voros had to say below:
Since the dawn of narrative writing, there are certain stories that are good no matter how many times you hear them. Look at Shakespeare. Everyone knows what happens in Hamlet , but people are going back to watch it for centuries. Any good ending is both unexpected and inevit able. And I think Taylor managed to hit the bullseye in terms of doing justice to the story that he has built and the family that he has built, but doing it in such a way that is full of surprises.
What Voros’ Statement Means For Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2’s Ending
The Show Seems Poised To Have One Particular Sibling Win
Although rumors will likely continue to circulate of Yellowstone continuing in some form or another, Voros’ words designate the final episodes as a definitive end to the Dutton-led drama.
While it’s still unclear what will happen to the characters in Yellowstone during the show’s final episodes, the stage is set for a major conflict that will likely only see one sibling winning their family war. While Kayce isn’t in a leadership position for either side, his involvement could be the deciding factor in how everything shapes up between Beth and Jamie. With his wife, Monica (Kelsey Asbille) likely to side with his sister, his brother’s plans through legal channels, like getting John removed as Governor of Montana, might not be enough to save him.
Voros’ statement also indicates this could be the end for the Dutton family, despite rumored plans for a Yellowstone sequel series or even season 6 happening in the future. While spinoffs like 1923 or The Madison are expected to keep the franchise alive, it sounds like a more definitive fate will befall the main characters of the original. While it’s possible the show really will continue in some fashion, given previous reports of Reilly and Cole Hauser (who plays Rip Wheeler) in talks to return, anything is possible in the forthcoming storyline.
Our Take On Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2’s Fitting End
The show is likely coming yo a definitive close
Although rumors will likely continue to circulate of Yellowstone continuing in some form or another, Voros’ words designate the final episodes as a definitive end to the Dutton-led drama. This no doubt means either Beth or Jamie is going to come out on top, potentially with disastrous results for whoever ends up losing. Given her comparisons to Shakespeare, this could also end in tragedy, the result of John’s absence being a downward spiral that drags the whole family into its depths.
