Cole Hauser, famous for his role as Rip Wheeler on “Yellowstone,” is not ready to part ways with his character. With Season 5B wrapped up

and Kevin Costner no longer part of the series, Hauser is eager for more. He has even challenged creator Taylor Sheridan to keep the story

alive, expressing enthusiasm for a potential Season 6. In a recent interview, Hauser voiced his desire to continue working with Sheridan,

stating, “Let’s do it!” He emphasized the pleasure he derives from the collaboration but acknowledged that he doesn’t make the final decisions, saying, “I’m a hired gun.”

Despite lacking control over the show’s trajectory, Hauser’s comments have ignited hope among fans for another season or a possible spin-off focused on Rip. Rumors have circulated that “Yellowstone” may not conclude with Season 5, with reports indicating that Hauser and Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton, are in discussions for a continuation. This has excited fans who prefer to see the original series continue rather than end abruptly.

While a previously rumored spin-off starring Matthew McConaughey never materialized, Sheridan is exploring other projects, including a new spin-off titled “Madison,” which is already in production. Nevertheless, die-hard fans of the original series are still hopeful for more stories featuring their beloved characters, particularly Rip and Beth.

Hauser attributes Rip’s popularity to his old-fashioned loyalty and honesty, explaining that audiences connect with him because he embodies traits often overlooked in modern portrayals of American men. With Rip’s grounded nature and deep connection to the land, Hauser believes there is still much of his story to tell, and he is determined to keep the “Yellowstone” saga alive. Fans are eagerly awaiting news of the series’ future, hopeful that Hauser’s challenge will resonate with Sheridan and lead to more gripping tales of drama and heartfelt moments.
