As I told you exclusively last Sunday and Monday, “Yellowstone” will go on after tonight.
Originally billed as series ender, the show itself announced that tonight’s episode was a “season finale.”
Others came chiming in later in the week, not giving us credit. But we told you there were “negotiations” to keep “Yellowstone” going with characters Beth and Rip picking up season 6.
So tonight will tie up some loose ends and may feature a big death for Jamie Dutton, played so well by Wes Bentley. Jamie was instrumental in his father’s death (Kevin Costner as John Dutton). It seems unlikely Jamie will escape a tragic end.
The uncertainty about “Yellowstone” is definitely a factor in the hundreds of layoffs this year at Paramount Global. Another 350 staffers are expected to be pink slipped before December 31st. It’s an ugly time.
Ratings for tonight’s episode should be through the roof. And will they introduce a new antagonist for the Duttons? Or will we have to wait for a sixth season — which won’t come for another year at least.
