Cole Hauser Sets the Record Straight About ‘Yellowstone’ Series Finale Theories

We’re only two weeks into the final episodes of Yellowstone, but Cole Hauser is assuring fans the series finale won’t be what they think.

The hit Paramount Network series is finally back on the air after a two-year hiatus, and folks are thrilled to see what is going on with the Dutton family. Given how the latest installment kicked off with the death of John Dutton (Kevin Costner) and his kids’ reactions to the news, it’s easy to see why viewers are already casting their theories on who killed the family patriarch. What’s more, fans are eager to see Jamie (Wes Bentley), Kayce (Luke Grimes) and Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly)’s already volatile relationships get even more erratic, and it’s all down to who will become the next leader of the ranching-turned-political family.

Well, with theories swirling on Reddit on what’s to come in future episodes, Cole (who plays Beth’s husband and rancher Rip Wheeler) is here to tell you to expect the unexpected. As he shared with Reuters in an interview published on November 12, fans will be surprised by what’s coming down the line for the show … even if they already have their own opinions about it.

“This show and what they think this season is going to be — everybody has their opinion of it,” he told the outlet. “And to be quite honest, none of them are right.”

Well, that’s definitely something to be intrigued about! And although everyone in the know is keeping mum about how Yellowstone will finally end, Cole did tease that this last installment will be a great way to wrap up this era of the Dutton family.

“[Kelly and I] both were told by [show creator] Taylor [Sheridan] many moons ago what his dream was for the characters and the ending and where they would be, so we kind of had an idea,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in an article published on November 13. “But to see it on the page and then to be able to shoot it was kind of a beautiful moment for me.”

With that kind of build-up, we need to make sure we tune in every week until the impactful Yellowstone finale!
