The Western drama "Yellowstone" is gearing up for a riveting conclusion with its upcoming final episodes.
Actor Cole Hauser, known for his portrayal of Rip Wheeler, shared that the finishing touches of season 5 will offer a unique narrative divergence from the series norm, Fox News reported.
In a recent interview, Cole Hauser revealed that the last part of the show’s fifth season, set to air in November, promises to be quite distinct from earlier seasons, marked by deep emotional currents and unforeseen twists. The absence of Kevin Costner, who played the central figure, John Dutton, has fueled speculations about the future narrative directions of the Dutton family saga.
As "Yellowstone" approaches its epic conclusion, fans are eager to see how the characters evolve in John Dutton's absence. Hauser elaborates on the dramatically different approach of the upcoming episodes, which aims to enrich the already compelling narrative crafted by series creator Taylor Sheridan.
Cole Hauser commented on the emotional heft and the shifting dynamics the series will explore without Kevin Costner, promising a heart-stirring journey ahead. Reflecting on his collaboration with Costner, Hauser mentioned, "I've enjoyed every bit of working with him."
There’s also burgeoning talk of prolonging the "Yellowstone" story into a sixth season, with a potential focus on Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton, portrayed by Kelly Reilly. Audience attachment to their love story could pave the way for a spin-off series or another season centered around these strong characters.
While Cole Hauser admits he has no direct say in the decision-making for extending the series beyond its current end, his hopes are high: "I'm a hired gun. I ain't a producer, I ain't the studio head, just a hired gun. But I hope so. I hope it happens because it would be fun."
Besides his role in "Yellowstone," Cole Hauser has extended his entrepreneurial spirit into the coffee industry. Last year marked the launch of his venture, Free Reign Coffee Company, which recently celebrated its first anniversary with its inclusion in Walmart’s offerings. He shared his excitement about the coffee, noting its wide appeal across various states from Montana to New York.
The actor, married since 2006 to Cynthia Daniel, appreciates the finer aspects of life with family. Their shared interest in coffee culminated in the establishment of their business, blending personal passions with professional pursuits.
Cole Hauser’s appreciation extends beyond his familial life, encompassing strong bonds with his colleagues. “I love the cast, though. Whether it's Kelly Reilly, Luke Grimes, Gil Birmingham, Mo, Ian Bowman. They're just a great cast of people,” Hauser expressed with genuine admiration for his fellow actors.
As "Yellowstone" concludes with its pending episodes, viewers are bracing for the emotional and narrative pivots that promise to mark a memorable end to this beloved series. While the departure of Kevin Costner marks the end of an era, the potential continuation centering around Rip and Beth could entice fans back to the expansive landscapes and intense drama that "Yellowstone" delivers. With Hauser's hint at a possible continuation and his new venture in the coffee business succeeding, it’s clear that whether on-screen or in the world of entrepreneurship, he embraces the challenges and rewards that come his way.
