Summary
- Star Ian Bohen warns that Yellowstone season 5, part 2 will have an emotional finale.
- John Dutton's absence may be due to his death, following Kevin Costner's confirmation that he won't be back for Yellowstone season 5, part 2.
- After the flagship series ends, the Dutton family's contemporary story could continue in a sequel show.
As filming continues for Yellowstone season 5, part 2 will officially release in November. While plot details are still scant at the moment, updates from the cast are giving the public an idea of what to expect from the send-off to the Duttons.
Taking it to his official Instagram , Ryan actor Ian Bohen cautions fans to be prepared for an emotional Yellowstone finale. Check out his post below:
The social media post features the announcement video of Yellowstone season 5, part 2 release date. However, it's in the caption that Bohen adds his tease, writing: "Clear your calendar. Grab your tissues. Send the youngins off to your sisters house. It’s gonna get real western around here."

The Duttons Are Once Again In Crisis.
John's demise could also be the launching pad for a more intense rivalry between Beth and Jamie, leaving Kayce in the middle of an all-out family in-fighting.
While Bohen doesn't reveal any spoilers in his social media post, hyping the remainder of Yellowstone's run to be emotional may indicate what's to come for the Duttons. After months of conversations, it has already been confirmed that Kevin Costner won't return as John Dutton III in season 5, part 2. Considering the Yellowstone character's dedication to the family ranch, even going to great lengths to make sure it remains in their possession, Sheridan needs to come up with a justified explanation for his absence.
Arguably the best way to go about this is for the character to die. As devastating as it would be, it is the only acceptable reason why John would not be on his turf. He wouldn't willingly leave, especially considering what's happening between Beth and Jamie. As the Dutton family patriarch, his death gives viewers plenty to be emotional about, which fits Bohen's tease about the Yellowstone finale. John's demise could also be the launching pad for a more intense rivalry between Beth and Jamie, leaving Kayce in the middle of an all-out family in-fighting.

Costner's John Dutton Yellowstone Finale Absence Sets Up A Better Ending (HBO's 2023 Hit Proves That)
Kevin Costner has confirmed John Dutton's Yellowstone finale absence. While that's disappointing, an HBO show proves it can lead to a better ending.
After the flagship series wraps up in a few months, the Duttons' contemporary story will continue via the Yellowstone sequel show. Plot specifics for the follow-up series are still uncertain, but it is confirmed to feature Cole Ha, Kelly Reilly, and Luke Grime as Rip, Beth, and Kayce. Considering this, whatever happens in Yellowstone season 5, part 2 should also double as a lead-in to what happens to the remainder of the family moving forward.
