Season 5 Part 2 of Yellowstone is expected to begin filming once the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) strike is over, and when it is released, it will feature plenty of characters that were present in other seasons.

Part 2 of Season 5 of Paramount’s hit Western drama will serve as the final installment of the show, which means that numerous character arcs and plotlines will be resolved when it is finally released.

Yellowstone is one of the most successful TV shows of the last decade, proving that it is still in high demand after rerun episodes from Season 1 were featured on CBS which amassed between 4 and 5 million viewers on average per episode.

The show’s success is largely thanks to its Western themes and political aspects, but also because of the cast that has been featured across its five seasons.

There are many important characters in Yellowstone, but at the top of that list is Kevin Costner’s John Dutton, the leader of the Dutton family and the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch.

It is unclear just how much Costner will appear in Season 5 Part 2 due to controversy between the actor and series creator Taylor Sheridan that ultimately forced the upcoming installment to be the final batch of episodes for the show.

Costner reportedly only wanted to dedicate one week of his schedule to film Part 2 so that he could devote most of his time to his own upcoming Western drama, Horizon.

Costner’s John Dutton, who is now the governor of Montana, is currently at odds with his adopted son, Jamie Dutton. In the Season 5 Part 1 finale, Jamie officially called for John to be impeached, setting up a major conflict between the two characters and anyone else involved.

Costner is known as one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, being featured in films such as Dances with Wolves, The Postman, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

Kelly Reilly portrays John’s daughter, Beth Dutton, in Yellowstone. She is known for being very straightforward and willing to do absolutely anything to protect her family and the Dutton Ranch.

Beth should be right at her father’s side in Season 5 Part 2 as the pair strategically plan out how to deal with Jamie calling for John’s impeachment. If fans have learned anything from the series, it’s that Beth already hates Jamie to his core, which means that she will stop at nothing to aid John and deal with her brother once and for all.

Reilly is known for her roles in Eden Lake, Pride & Prejudice, and Kenneth Branagh’s 2023 film A Haunting in Venice.

Luke Grimes’ Kayce Dutton is probably the most reasonable member of the entire Dutton family.

He had to quickly learn how to balance his involvement in the Dutton Ranch with his life as a husband and a father. After becoming a livestock commissioner earlier in the series, he recently gave up his badge and decided to devote more time to his family.

As previously mentioned, Wes Bentley’s Jamie Dutton is the adopted son of John Dutton. After finding out that revelation, Jamie sought out his biological father but was ultimately forced to kill him.

However, he quickly turned into one of the show’s biggest antagonists after he was talked into waging war against his family by Market Equities, the real estate company that is aiming to claim the Yellowstone territory in an attempt to build an airport in that area of Montana.
