Yellowstone is returning to The Paramount Network and Paramount Plus

for the last time this November, with Kelly Reilly reprising her role as the

unstoppable Beth Dutton. The second half of season five marks the show’s

final instalment after Kevin Costner walked away from the drama. With Yellowstone coming to an end this November, British actress Kelly has already signed up for a new six-part limited series – a Sky Original titled Under Salt Marsh. The gripping crime thriller is set in the fictional Welsh town of Morfa Halen.

Kelly will play former detective turned teacher Jackie Ellis, who discovers the body of her eight-year-old pupil, Cefin, seemingly drowned. The synopsis continues: “The discovery sends shockwaves through the community, reviving the ghost of an unsolved cold case that rocked the town three years prior – the disappearance of Jackie’s niece, Nessa, which cost her career.”

Cefin’s death draws Jackie’s former partner, Detective Eric Bull, back to lead the investigation into a community he failed previously. The synopsis adds: “Convinced the cases are linked, Jackie and Bull must reconcile and race to uncover long-buried secrets inside Morfa, before the storm breaks and all the evidence is gone for good.

“An intimate and cinematic story, Under Salt Marsh takes audiences into the heart of a community bound by nature and fractured by an unthinkable crime.”

Kelly, an award-winning theatre, film and TV actress, was nominated for a 2023 Critics Choice Award for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Yellowstone.

The character, which found her international fame, also earned her a nomination for a 2022 SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series and the 2022 MTV Television and Film Award for Best Performance in a Show.

This is not the first time she has starred in a detective drama as she previously featured in HBO’s True Detective.

Viewers may also recognise her from the Sky Original series, Britannia.

Under Salt Marsh was created by Claire Oakley and she will be acting as lead director on the project.

The series, produced by Little Door Productions in association with Sky Studios will begin filming later this year.

Yellowstone returns to Paramount Plus and The Paramount Network on November 10. Under Salt Marsh is in the making for Sky.
