'Yellowstone' is ending, but Rip and Beth spinoff series will ride on: Reports

Rip and Beth will continue to ride on even after "Yellowstone" officially ends on Sunday with its Season 5 finale.

Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) and Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler) have finalized their deals to reprise their characters in a new "Yellowstone" spinoff, according to multiple reports. Deadline.com first reported the news. The Paramount Network did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The new series, which the reports said will include "Yellowstone" in its title, has long been discussed as a possibility following the official end of executive producer and creator Taylor Sheridan's cornerstone series. Reilly deflected when asked about appearing in the spinoff by USA TODAY in October.

"The truth is there is nothing definitive or set right now," Reilly said then. "We just want to end this chapter of 'Yellowstone' because it deserves it. We're talking a lot about the future, but I just want everyone to see these last six episodes as their finale. And then, if there is a future, and if Taylor (Sheridan) writes something else for us, we've both said we're there."

The end of the neo-Western was spurred on prematurely following the exit of Kevin Costner, who portrayed patriarch John Dutton, after a prolonged battle with Sheridan. It's not clear which of the "Yellowstone" cast will join Rip and Beth, who have been joining forces with members of a Texas ranch, including a rogue-ish horse trader played by Sheridan, in recent episodes.

Much more will be revealed in Sunday's "Yellowstone" finale.

The new series, which was spun off from the most popular show on TV, could be a potential financial boon for Paramount, which sold the "Yellowstone" streaming rights to rival NBCUniversal's Peacock. Selling the valuable rights to another streamer was not only an epic financial miscalculation by Paramount, but also fueled confusion among viewers who had trouble finding "Yellowstone" after it aired on the Paramount Network.

The spinoff will theoretically allow Paramount to reclaim what the show's new version for its Paramount+ streaming service, barring legal action by NBC.
