Yellowstone finally wrapped up on December 15, to mixed reviews. The day before, Reilly, who played Beth Dutton, posted a trailer for the last episode and wrote a statement about her time on the show.
"Whatever the future holds this is the ending of the show we have been making for the past 7 years," she said. "Words cannot convey how I feel about the people I got to work and create with over the seasons. I have made true lifelong friends. The support from the crew and the trust and dedication of the cast."
She then spoke of how the fan-favorite character Beth Dutton had changed her. The role "lit" her up, "challenged" her in "every way possible", and she'll be "forever be grateful for it."
Next, Reilley described how grateful she is to Taylor Sheridan who "took a chance" on her. "Thank you, Taylor," she wrote, after saying how he always wrote the character in ways that made her "feel on fire as an actor."
She finished her statement by thanking the audience, "Thank you the audience we made it for, for being on this journey with us. We really cared about making something special for you all ... Enjoy tonight, get your tissues and your ???."
Kelly Reilly Then Confirmed Rip And Beth Spinoff... Right?
Reilly's glowing statement about her time on the show garnered many comments from fans of the show and her character. The actress also replied to some comments, talking about her character and answering questions.
One comment was rather strange, however. The very beginning of Reilly's statement mentions that she is "deep into another role" in the UK, although mentions nothing more of it.
Seemingly replying to this, a user commented "So is the rumor in the UK that you and Rip are making a spin-off season not true!?." I inferred this to mean that the commenter is asking, 'Is the rumor about the spinoff not true?' The crying emoji seems to show sadness that the commenter suspects this isn't happening based on this.
Interestingly, the actress just comments, "true ?" to which the comments and other outlets are taking to mean that the spinoff is happening, as officially confirmed by the actress herself.
I can't make heads or tails of it, but it seems everyone is believing that we'll see more Rip and Beth action in the future. Everything else does point toward the show happening, however.
