Viewers theorized that the “something big” was a spoiler that Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) was going to die in the show.
Will Rip Wheeler die in Yellowstone?
It’s too soon to tell whether Rip Wheeler will survive on Yellowstone. That said, seeing as he and Beth just tied the knot in Season 4, it’s possible the “something big” will just be something like a baby, an affair or any number of storylines for the newlyweds in the drama. That said, one other reason fans speculate that Rip may not survive is Cole Hauser’s casting in 1883: The Bass Reeves Story, a spinoff of Yellowstone spinoff 1883 that starred Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Still, it’s quite possible he can do more than one job at once!
What did Cole Hauser say about Rip dying on Yellowstone?
Cole Hauser, who stars as the troubled Rip in the series, tried to put some of the rumors of his character’s doom to rest in an interview with TODAY. “My mom’s told me a couple of them and I said, ‘Mom, I do the killing. Don’t worry about it,’” he said. “I think we’re OK. For now.” He noted that there is “a darkness to [Rip],” adding, “but there’s also, kind of, this real passion and love that he has for Beth (Kelly Reilly) and I thought that’s a really good juxtaposition as an actor to be able to play that.” Next, check out everything you need to know about the new season of Yellowstone.
