Built brick by brick into a television dynasty that could give John Dutton’s (Kevin Costner) Dutton empire a run for its money, the show has become Paramount Network’s shining star.

As for the future, Hauser, 49, has kept his cards close to his chest. The actor informedCountry Living:

The narrative of a potential sixth season might shift to Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser).

I’m so focused on finishing Yellowstone the way it needs to be finished right now — well, just the show itself. We’ll see where that leads. But I know that there’s some stuff on the horizon when it comes to Taylor’s ideas for Kelly Reilly and myself, and some of the other cast. I’m excited to see where he goes creatively with that.

The show paints a vivid picture of the Dutton family, battling both external foes and internal dramas. Meanwhile, Paramount recently announced that Michelle Pfeiffer will take the reins in a newYellowstonespinoff,The Madison.

Many fans worry the show won’t be the same without Costner.

The Dutton saga doesn’t stop here, though.1883, the first spinoff, took us back in time with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw as James and Margaret Dutton, charting their perilous journey from Texas to Montana.1923, another prequel, saw Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford as Cara and Jacob Dutton, recounting their own epic trek to Montana.
