Yellowstone's Kelly Reilly Addresses Whether She'd Return as Beth in a Spin-Off
Kelly Reilly is addressing her fate in the Yellowstone universe.
The 47-year-old actress spoke out in an interview with Town & Country about the hit series, as well as the fate of her character, Beth Dutton.
“I love gearing up to play her, because there’s an adrenaline to Beth and it’s very energizing. But it’s also incredibly gnarly. I have to hide all of me away to put some of that on. I love her, but I can’t live with her,” she said of the role.

“I didn’t even audition. Then I was like, ‘F-ck, I didn’t audition.’ I was terrified, because I didn’t know how I was going to do it. And it took me a minute to find her.”
Kelly also talked about Beth’s fearlessness.
“It’s a fantasy. But as in all fantasies, there is a little 10 percent that you can distill and inhabit. It shifts the energy a bit: how you own yourself, how you feel about yourself. I have definitely gotten more backbone in my life because of Beth. I didn’t know I could walk into a room and do that. I’m less afraid of a room,” she said.
She also addressed Yellowstone’s cultural impact, noting: “I don’t participate in the noise in any way. I stay out of it. The only safe place for me is in the work—and then home with my husband. Very boring. It can become a cyclone of bullsh-t and fakeness, and I know I won’t find my worth in that.”
As for whether she would return to play Beth Dutton in a spin-off, she revealed: “I am definitely interested in Beth, and who she is after some things have happened. Who is she in peace? As an actor you’re like, ‘Ooh, let me at that.’ Wouldn’t it be fun to watch Beth go to therapy?”
