“Yellowstone” star Kelly Reilly took to Instagram on Thursday to share what appeared to be a major spoiler for the show's upcoming final season.
Riley Posts Photos of herself on horseback are not uncommon for the cast of Taylor Sheridan's hit cowboy drama, and this caption seems to hint at key filming locations and plot spoilers for the final season, which premieres on November 10th of this year.
“I said goodbye to Montana and got to spend some time in the dry heat of Texas yesterday while not filming. [6666 Ranch] “Doing one of the things I love most,” Riley wrote. “Thank you Dusty for letting me try out your new saddle!”

The “Yellowstone” Season 5, Part 1 finale finds the Dutton family in the midst of conflict. Beth (Reilly) and her father, John Dutton (Kevin Costner), find themselves at odds with Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) over the financial future of Yellowstone Ranch, forcing Dutton to leave Montana for Texas.

With Beth's soulmate Lip (Cole Hauser) heading off to 6666 Ranch (pronounced “four six”) with Sheridan's Travis, giving Reilly's character plenty of reason to head south in the show, the big question is when will Beth head to Texas and will she be pushed out or pulled away?

Just because Riley finished filming in Montana doesn't mean her scenes were necessarily shot in chronological order — in my experience, most productions shoot scenes based on location. (RELATED: 'Yellowstone' Executives Hated Beth Dutton, and We Probably Know Why)
It's a big deal when Riley wraps up in Montana, as she and her on-screen brother Case (Luke Grimes) inherit the Yellowstone Ranch and turn it into meat producers, but we all know Sheridan's show doesn't always have a happy ending.
I hope the trip to Texas is enjoyable for Beth, she deserves a vacation.
