Yellowstone viewers react to the finale – but there is one question on everyone’s lips

The much-loved series came to an end after six years and five seasons. The Yellowstone finale has divided viewers and left fans questioning whether the show will continue in a new form. Taylor Sheridan’s long running Western drama has dominated screens since its 2018 debut with the season five premiere smashing records by drawing in 12.1million viewers.

Fans tuned in on Sunday night (15 December) to see how Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) would save the historic Montana ranch, which his ancestors took from the Broken Rock Indians in 1883. *Warning — Spoilers ahead for the Yellowstone season finale*. Dutton followed through with his plans to save Yellowstone by selling the property to its original owners.

The Montana rancher sold the land for the same price his ancestors paid in 1883 – $1.25 an acre, meaning the largest ranch in the state sold for just $1.1m (£790,000) in total. Elsewhere, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) killed her brother Jamie (Wes Bentley) and left to start a new life on a different ranch with her husband Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser).

Many viewers were left disappointed by the show’s finale. “Dumb ending,” one person wrote on X/Twitter. “That was probably the worst final season in television history,” another viewer added. Meanwhile, a third person said: “It is official. Game of Throne is no longer the worst final season of any TV show ever. Yellowstone has taken that award. What a disaster of a final season.”.
