Speaking to PEOPLE, Reilly, 47, who plays Beth Dutton on the hit western drama series, says the cast had a special intention of “baring it all” for Yellowstonelast episode.
“There were moments where we would all just look around and appreciate a moment, a beautiful day or a situation that just happened … you’d say, ‘Well, this might be the last time we do this.’ So there was feasting,” says the star about the return to filming the series, which took place in May. “Of course for me, and I really felt that a lot of the cast members wanted to put it all out there this year.”

Reilly continues, “It was like, ‘Let’s give it our all and give these characters and the show the ending they deserve.’ And the fans, because people went on such an adventure with us.”
The final episodes debut on November 10, nearly two years since the midseason finale. Reilly says it was “difficult” for the cast not to be able to give fans a season every year. “But anyway, we have these six episodes, these last six episodes to end this chapter Yellowstone and they’re pretty epic and full,” she shares.
When was the last time fans saw Yellowstonehis characters remained deep in the commotion brewing at the Duttons’ ranch. Beth stood right in the middle of it all as her father, John’s (Kevin Costner) right-hand man who helps preserve the ranch. With responsibilities on that front, turmoil with brother Jamie (Wes Bentley) and outside forces, as well as increasing responsibilities to husband Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) and pseudo-adopted son Carter (Finn Little), Reilly points to a “pretty emotional” closing episode to come .

“There was a real mentality that we were doing something together that felt important,” Reilly claims of his work and that of the cast. “And I think that’s how we felt this year with this series, because it’s the end of this chapter, the end of this story, this saga, this moment of the Dutton story … we felt really protective of delivering the last season, hopefully the best .”
Ultimately, Reilly admits there was a “shift of appreciation that she’s back, what she’s doing” with her castmates when they returned to Montana to finish Season 5. (Costner did not return to the series due to scheduling conflicts.)
“Our industry has taken such a hit … everyone coming back to work has been a very different experience. So there’s been a huge amount of gratitude and not taking it for granted that we’re all back doing what we all love to do, even when circumstances [were] it’s not always perfect or difficult, but we were glad to see each other and go back to where we know this place, we know each other. I think there was a lot of feeling of coming home, but for the last time.”
Yellowstone returns Sunday, November 10 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on the Paramount Network. All five seasons air on Peacock and Paramount+.
