‘Time To Grow Up’: Yellowstone Star Cole Hauser Teases THIS About His Character’s Future In The Show

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for character development and a deep appreciation for well-crafted narratives, I must say that the evolution of Cole Hauser’s character, Rip Wheeler, in Yellowstone is nothing short of intriguing. Having watched the show since its inception, I have witnessed the growth of Rip from a loyal enforcer to a significant member of the Dutton family.


Actor Cole Hauser, known for his role as Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone, discussed potential developments for his character to Screen Rant. As a reliable member of the Dutton family Ranch, Rip’s significance has been consistently demonstrated – be it the Montana ranch itself or his deep bond with Beth Dutton.

Following Kevin Costner’s departure from the show before Yellowstone’s season 5, part B, it seems that Wheeler may need to assume new responsibilities on the ranch. The actor has revealed to the media that his character will undergo changes in the second half of season 5 – he’ll become the foreman for the family.

ranch. “Yeah, ultimately, it’s time to grow up,” he told the outlet.

Hauser made clear that his character had established the framework for the ranch’s operations, covering details like managing the bunkhouse and addressing various issues. This implies that his character has taken care of all necessary tasks in his role, suggesting it might be time for progression or refinement.

During the latter part of season 5, he won’t just assist Beth, but will also play an essential role in maintaining and enhancing the ranches, a responsibility that was once shouldered by the Dutton family head, John (Costner).

It came as quite a surprise when the actor from Bodyguard abruptly stopped filming halfway through season 5. It seems that disagreements about creative direction, pay, and scheduling conflicts were some of the primary causes. Yet, during an interview with PEOPLE, Costner shared his feeling of “disappointment” regarding the storyline and stated that he departed the series because the scripts just weren’t up to par.

Based on what he said, this break in filming resulted in the final decision being made. He may cherish the series deeply, but you should know that he will not play his character again in upcoming seasons.

In my perspective as a lifestyle expert, while it may seem like I’m taking a backseat in the Yellowstone series, rest assured that my character, John Dutton, remains pivotal to the narrative. My presence might not be physically present, but my influence certainly is, keeping me at the heart of the storyline.

Yellowstone seasons are available to stream on Netflix.
