As Yellowstone approaches its conclusion without Kevin Costner, the cast has revealed that the scripts for Season 5 Part 2 have been “blacked out,” with several key storylines remaining a mystery, even to the actors themselves.
The final episodes of Yellowstone include numerous unresolved plots. From the fate of John Dutton to the outcome of Beth and Jamie’s ongoing conflict, fans are eager to discover how Taylor Sheridan‘s flagship series will conclude.
To prevent leaks and maintain excitement, Paramount has adopted a strategy similar to that of Marvel, redacting specific details from the Part 2 scripts, leaving the cast with an incomplete understanding of the narrative.
Cast member Jennifer Landon, who portrays the outspoken Teeter, explained, “We receive these redacted scripts. Basically, everything is blacked out except for your lines.”
Other cast members shared their thoughts on this tactic in a teaser released by Paramount. Dawn Olivieri, who plays Sarah Atwood, remarked: “I don’t know what she did, she doesn’t know what I did. We can’t tell each other.”
Denim Richards, portraying Colby, Teeter’s partner and fellow ranch hand, revealed that due to this approach, some scenes were filmed without the actors knowing the context, leading to moments that were “really not rehearsed.”
Director Christina Voros stated that this is the first time the Yellowstone team has implemented such precautions, resulting in a new set of challenges behind the scenes. However, it was all done “for the sake of the audience.”
Fortunately, this meticulous approach might deliver excellent results. Voros added, “I have been moved more by the performances from the cast than I ever have been, and that’s saying a lot.”
Luke Grimes, who portrays Kayce Dutton on the show, shared that the conclusion “brought me to tears, and I think people are going to really, really love it.”
Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 is set to premiere on November 10, 2024. Additionally, fans can look forward to updates on 6666, 1923 Season 2, and The Madison.
