Yellowstone is over! How does the series end?

A fairly definitive last episode, while Kelly Reilly confirms that it is indeed “the end of the series that we have been doing for 7 years”.

Rest for the Duttons. Yellowstoneit is now finished. Kelly Reilly confirms it on Instagram with a farewell message to the drama of Taylor Sheridanattesting to the fate of the series: “Whatever the future holds, this is the end of the series we've been doing for 7 years” she writes, confirming that season 5 of Yellowstone which has just ended was indeed the last. “Words cannot express how I feel about the people I have worked with and created throughout the seasons. I made true friends for life. The words I was able to say and the woman I was able to embody… It changed me. It lit me up.”

Beth Dutton will return in a new series based on Yellowstonealongside Rip. Kelly Reilly And Cole Hauser will take up the torch soon. But in the meantime, how did it end? Yellowstone ? What happens in the finale (to watch in France on Paramount + and also via MyCanal)? Who dies and who wins? Warning spoilers!

This last episode of season 5 was highly symbolic and frankly definitive.

First, Beth announced that she bought a ranch outside of Dillion, away from tourists and airports, to live with Rip. This will be the new setting for their next series. Not the historic Dutton ranch.

Because the land is going to be sold. Kayce (Luke Grimes) reveals to Chief Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) his plan: let the Broken Rock Reservation buy the Yellowstone for $1.25 per acre (or $3 per hectare to give you an idea). The price it was originally sold for to the Duttons. The circle is closed. Chief Rainwater and John Dutton always wanted to keep the land intact. It will be done. The patriarch's inheritance is safe, while the family will bury him. At the end of John's funeral – and therefore of Yellowstone himself – Beth goes to Jamie (Wes Bentley) to seek revenge. But when she ends up being strangled, Rip intervenes and Beth inflicts a fatal stab on Jamie who dies.

The two then conclude the series: Rip walks across the empty ranch land, closing the barn door while Beth examines her empty house one last time with Kayce. The latter made a deal to keep his small ranch with Monica (Kelsey Asbille) and Tate (Brecken Merrill). Beth will tend her ranch with Rip and Carter (Finn Little) on their new land (Lloyd refused to participate saying he needs to find himself).

And at the end of the episode, the tribe takes possession of the land of Yellowstone and begins removing the Dutton signs, while preserving the family cemetery. The voiceover that ends the series is that of Elsa Dutton (Isabel May), their ancestor who appeared in the prequel series 1883 And 1923. The history of the ranch Yellowstone ends, a century and a half after it began. But the Dutton saga will continue.
