Yellowstone season 5 is set to conclude in the fall of 2024, with some

characters transitioning into the planned sequel series, 2024. This new

series will follow the pattern of the Yellowstone prequels, 1883 and 1923,

focusing on the Dutton family in the titular year. Although Kevin Costner will not return, A-listers like Matthew McConaughey, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Kurt Russell are connected to the series. Here’s a look at the characters expected to continue their journey in the sequel series:

1. Rip Wheeler: The Ranch’s Last Defender

Rip Wheeler, played by Cole Hauser, is not a Dutton by blood but is considered a son by John Dutton through marriage to Beth Dutton. Rip’s role as the ranch’s most loyal defender will evolve with John Dutton’s absence. If Kayce doesn’t take over the ranch, Rip might end up running it through Beth’s inheritance, despite her claims of wanting to sell it.

2. Beth Dutton: The Fierce Daughter

Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) is known for her fierce loyalty to her father, often acting as both hero and villain. With John Dutton’s likely death, Beth will seek vengeance. Her unfinished business with Jamie could extend into the sequel series.

3. Kayce Dutton: The Would-Be Heir

Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) has a storyline rich with potential, deciding between managing the Yellowstone ranch or forging his own path. His role as John’s heir will be pivotal in the sequel series, with repercussions for his choices explored in depth.

4. Monica Dutton: The Oft-Conflicted Mother and Wife

Monica Dutton (Kelsey Asbille Chow) fights to protect her family from the violence surrounding the ranch. Her relationship with Kayce and her dedication to her Indigenous roots will be significant in the sequel, especially if Kayce works on the reservation.

5. Tate Dutton: The Future of the Dutton Family

Young Tate Dutton (Breckin Merrill) shows a desire to follow in John Dutton’s footsteps. As the likely heir to the ranch, his development will be crucial in 2024.

6. Walker: The Multi-Talented Cowboy

Walker (Ryan Bingham) is a fan favorite, whose journey may continue in 2024 or the spin-off series 6666. His musical talent and cowboy skills make him a natural fit for the expanding Yellowstone universe.

7. Angela Blue Thunder: The Dangerous Business Consultant

Angela Blue Thunder (Q’orianka Kilcher) from the Broken Rock Reservation could become a major antagonist. Her quest for leadership and potential conflicts with the Duttons provide rich narrative possibilities.

8. Carter: The Heir to Rip’s Throne

Carter (Finn Little), essentially adopted by Rip and Beth, represents the next generation of ranch hands. His friendship with Tate could shape the future of the ranch.

9. Teeter: The Foul-Mouthed Ranch Hand

Teeter (Jen Landon) is an accomplished and entertaining ranch hand. Her relationship with Colby and unique personality add heart and levity to the series.

10. Senator Lynelle Perry: The Legislative Guardian of Montana

Lynelle Perry (Wendy Moniz) plays a crucial role in defending Montana politically. Her involvement is likely to continue in 2024, addressing political challenges facing the ranch.
