‘Yellowstone’ star Kelly Reilly addresses spinoff rumors

Kelly Reilly excited fans when she seemingly confirmed the Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler spinoff rumors following the series finale of “Yellowstone.”

Reilly, 47, famously played John Dutton’s daughter in the hit series for five seasons. Amid speculation that she is joining her television husband, Cole Hauser (who played the ranch hand Wheeler), in a series’ spinoff after reportedly inking a deal, the actress had one word for curious viewers.

When the series finale aired on Dec. 15, “Yellowstone” fans flocked to Reilly’s Instagram account, flooding her posts with questions about the possible Beth and Rip spinoff.

While she remained tight-lipped about the speculation for months, the star finally caved while responding to a comment on Instagram.

Sharing a tribute post of her time on “Yellowstone” earlier this month, a fan commented, “So is the rumour in the UK that you and Rip are making a spin off season not true! Whatever happens I’ve loved every second of every episode in every season. You guys are all amazing!!” the fan commented, to which Reilly replied, “True,” and added a white heart emoji.

In the tribute post, Reilly wrote, “Words cannot convey how I feel about the people I got to work and create with.

“The support from the crew and the trust and dedication of the cast. The words I got to say and the woman I got to inhabit the past seven years. It changed me. It lit me up. It challenged me in every way possible and I will forever be grateful for it,” she continued.

“For Taylor Sheridan who took a chance on me and continued to write her in ways I got to feel on fire as an actor. Thank you the audience we made it for, for being on this journey with us.”

In August, reports began circulating that Reilly and Hauser were “in negotiations” to return for a sixth season of “Yellowstone.”

Earlier this month, Deadline said it was a done deal — and Reilly’s comments appear to back that up.

This isn’t the first time she spoke about possibly reprising her role as Beth.

In Nov., she told Town and Country, “I loved this season. There were some really different territories to explore, so I’m not clinging to her. I’m happy to put her back in her padlocked box.”

She didn’t rule out a return, though.

“I am definitely interested in Beth, and who she is after some things have happened,” she shared. “Who is she in peace? As an actor you’re like, ‘Ooh, let me at that.’ Wouldn’t it be fun to watch Beth go to therapy?”

Reilly’s rumored season isn’t the only spinoff in the works.

“Yellowstone” spawned two other offshoots, “1883” and “1923,” which chronicle the Dutton family’s history before the present day. Michelle Pfeiffer and Matthew Fox have also joined “The Madison,” which will reportedly be “a heartfelt study of grief and human connection following a New York City family in the Madison River valley of central Montana.”
