A Bittersweet Goodbye
As Yellowstone gallops toward its long-awaited finale, Kelly Reilly has officially said farewell to the series and to her fiery alter ego, Beth Dutton. In a heartfelt Instagram post shared on October 6, the actress confirmed that the December 15 episode will serve as the show’s official conclusion.
Currently filming a new project in the UK, Reilly reflected on her seven-year journey with the Paramount Network drama, writing, “I’m so deep into another role at the moment about another land worth fighting for in the UK. But across the pond, the finale is happening tonight of the show. Whatever the future holds, this is the ending of the show we have been making for the past seven years.”
Gratitude and Reflection
Reilly’s message was filled with deep appreciation for the Yellowstone family, especially series creator Taylor Sheridan. “Words cannot convey how I feel about the people I got to work and create with over the seasons,” she shared. “I have made true lifelong friends. The support from the crew and the trust and dedication of the cast.”
She continued, “The words I got to say and the woman I got to inhabit changed me. It lit me up. It challenged me in every way possible, and I will forever be grateful for it. 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, Taylor.”
What’s Next for Kelly Reilly
Though Yellowstone is ending, Reilly is far from slowing down. Her upcoming role, set in the UK and centered around “another land worth fighting for,” hints at another powerful, emotionally charged performance.
