The Yellowstone cast has continued to find success after the hit Paramount Network show came to an end — with some even scoring spinoffs.
Yellowstone, which ran from 2018 to 2024, became an overnight success for its story about the conflicts along the shared border of a large cattle ranch, the Broken Rock Indian reservation and land developers. Kevin Costner was the initial draw as John Dutton, but soon viewers were tuning in for the show’s other leads — including Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Gil Birmingham, Cole Hauser and Kelsey Asbille.
While Yellowstone was still releasing new episodes on Paramount Network, creator Taylor Sheridan was already making plans to expand with prequels 1883 and 1923. The series orders continued with shows set in the present day, including Marshals and The Dutton Ranch.
There are also two shows — 1944 and 6666 — that have been announced but remain in production limbo. While 1944 was picked up for a full season, there haven’t been major updates since, and 6666 has been put on hold for the foreseeable future.
Amid Yellowstone’s expansion, some of the show’s alums returned to the TV franchise while others moved on. Keep scrolling to see where each Yellowstone cast member is now:
Kevin Costner
Yellowstone was poised for a lengthy run on the Paramount Network but rumors about Kevin Costner’s future on the show put things to a halt. While Costner and series creator Taylor Sheridan denied reports of a feud, Paramount Network confirmed in May 2023 that Yellowstone would end for good at the end of season 5. The hits kept coming with Costner not returning for the second half of the final season.
Costner shifted his focus to directing and acting in Horizon: An American Saga. He has also been involved in Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas and Kevin Costner’s the West.
Luke Grimes
After playing Kayce Dutton, Luke Grimes remained in the Yellowstone world with CBS spinoff Marshals.
Kelly Reilly
Kelly Reilly’s Beth Dutton also scored her own show on Paramount+ titled The Dutton Ranch, which airs in May 2026. She has also appeared on Greek Salad and Under Salt Marsh.
Wes Bentley
The series finale killed off Wes Bentley’s character, Jamie Dutton. The actor is next set to star on Ryan Murphy’s The Shards, which is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis.
