Kevin Costner's oldest son in Yellowstone, Lee Dutton, was tragically killed in the first episode during a cattle raid to reclaim stolen livestock from the Broken Rock Reservation, dying from a gunshot wound after his brother Kayce's brother-in-law, Robert Long, shot him, setting off major family conflicts and shaping the series' path.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Yellowstone season 5.In Yellowstone season 5, Kayce's son is buried alongside a recently deceased horse, which Mo explains is in accordance with Indigenous tradition.
In Season 5 of Yellowstone, we can expect love to be in the air not just for newlyweds Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, but for Beth's son-not-son, Carter (Finn Little). For those of you who need a refresher, Beth invited Carter to live and work on the Dutton ranch after he lost both his parents.
Along the way, between conception and releasing the film though, Kevin decided to use the name for his son. "I had trouble making this movie, but for whatever reason I kept the name Hayes – [it] was part of my journey that I wasn't going to let go this character, Hayes Ellison," he explained.
After reports emerged of scheduling issues and drama between Costner and “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan, Costner confirmed in a June Instagram video that he would not be returning to the show.
Beth and the characters in the show are not yet privy to this information, but Beth knows in her gut that Jamie orchestrated their father's death and she needed to be alone with Jamie in a room to get her confirmation.
Actor Kevin Costner got into a physical altercation on set during the filming of the hit cowboy drama Yellowstone. The altercation resulted in a temporary pause in filming of the series, shocking fellow castmates. The fight began between Costner and co-star Wes Bentley, who plays Costner's son in the series.
"Perhaps Rip Wheeler's passionate love for Beth Dutton is not just a product of the script – it is also a reflection of the sincere love that Cole Hauser, who plays Rip, has for his real-life wife, Cynthia Daniel.

John Dutton III
He's the eventual governor of Montana and a father of four: Lee, Beth, Kayce, and (the adopted) Jamie. His wife, Evelyn, died in a horseback-riding accident. He was the patriarch of the Dutton ranch until his tragic death in Yellowstone season 5.
Born to John Dutton III. and Evelyn Dutton on July 18, 1984. As the middle child it wasn't easy for Beth. In 1997, Beth accidentally caused her mother's horse to rear and buck her off, causing her death. Life got even harder for her when John started to resent her.

Elsa Dutton's death is doubtlessly the saddest in the Yellowstone franchise.
What did Beth whisper to the casket? The Dutton family finally has a service for John, where Beth once again promises to avenge her dad. After laying a white rose on his casket, Beth leans down and whispers, "I will avenge you," then leaves the service.
In the final episode of Yellowstone, John Dutton's remaining two children, Beth and Kayce, sell the Yellowstone Ranch to their Broken Rock Indian Reservation neighbors for pennies on the dollar, if the tribe agrees never to sell or divide it.
The fourth season ended with Jamie Dutton, the adopted son of the powerful Dutton family, killing his biological father, Garrett Randall.
Set after the events of Yellowstone, Monica is rebuilding her life after unimaginable loss and finding her own purpose far beyond the ranch.

Many financial advisors are guilty of what I call “Kevin Costner Syndrome”—a reference to the film's leading actor. Costner played a farmer who responded to a mysterious voice's admonition to build a baseball field among his crops. “If you build it, he will come” was sufficient motivation for Costner's character.
Yes, Jennifer Aniston used to be a heavy smoker for years but successfully quit, attributing her success to daily yoga, deep breathing exercises, and sheer willpower, and has since promoted a healthy, smoke-free lifestyle, although she's been photographed smoking occasionally even after quitting, showing it's a struggle.
I forgot because it's been so long, but I just remembered that Beth slept with Walker during season 1. Walker basically slept with Lloyd AND Rip's lovers. Surprised Rip doesn't get bothered or reminded by that.
Yes, Kelly Reilly and Kevin Costner had a strong, respectful, and supportive relationship on the set of Yellowstone, with Reilly often praising him as a generous actor and mentor, and she remained a loyal friend to him even as he departed the show amidst conflicts with producers. Their on-screen chemistry as father and daughter was built on real-life mutual admiration, creating a powerful dynamic that fans loved.
Costner had a falling out with creator Taylor Sheridan over the creative control of the series. The Dances with Wolves star announced his exit from the series in 2023 and went on to focus on his passion project, Horizon. Costner has now addressed how Yellowstone wrote off his character.
Why Is Yellowstone Ending After Season 5? Yellowstone is ending after season five because of a scheduling dispute. Season 5 was always meant to be split into two parts, but that decision didn't sit well with Costner.
Costner's commitments to his own directorial project, Horizon, seemed to clash with Yellowstone's demanding production schedule, making it difficult for him to dedicate time to both.
