The end of Yellowstone is looming, and while fans are grappling
with the bittersweet reality of bidding farewell to the iconic series,
there’s a glimmer of excitement on the horizon. Brace yourselves,
because a brand new sequel series is set to take off right where Yellowstone leaves off. This upcoming series, intriguingly titled 2024, promises to dive deeper into the intense world we’ve come to love, but with some unexpected twists.
You might have heard the buzz—Yellowstone executives announced last year that after the original series wraps up in November 2024, the story would continue with the first-ever sequel in the Yellowstone universe. This announcement sent ripples of excitement and speculation through the fanbase. The franchise, which has already expanded through successful prequels and spin-offs, now prepares to chart new territory. Originally, the spotlight was on Matthew McConaughey to headline the new series, but his high salary demands led to a change in direction. The result? A more focused narrative featuring fan-favorites: Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler.
For fans of the fiery couple, this is a dream come true. At first, there were whispers of tension, as both Kelly Reilly (Beth) and Cole Hauser (Rip) reportedly sought significant pay raises to continue their roles. Thankfully, any potential crisis was averted, and both actors have hinted in interviews that they are ready to bring their iconic characters to life once again.
Beth and Rip’s relationship has been a cornerstone of Yellowstone‘s success. Their chemistry is electric, their love story captivating. From initial hostility to deep, unbreakable love, they’ve overcome countless challenges, becoming one of TV’s most beloved couples. Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser’s portrayal of these multi-dimensional characters has added layers of depth and complexity, making them relatable and endearing despite their rough edges.
