Kelly Reilly of Yellowstone has commented about preparing to reprise her role as Beth Dutton.
The actress will resume her role as Beth in the second half of Yellowstone's fifth and final season, with new episodes due to premiere in November 2024.
In an interview with TVLine, Reilly was promoting her new coming-of-age film Little Wing when she was asked if she accepted the new part to showcase a different aspect of her talents.
Reilly added, "I don't really think like that, because look, some people may only know me from Yellowstone, but I've been working as an actress for 30 years.
You don't want to become bored with yourself. You want to keep it new by working with diverse collaborators, performers, and crew..
. I'd just completed two films. A Haunting in Venice with Kenneth Branagh and Here, which will be out this autumn with Tom Hanks and directed by Robert Zemeckis,
while I was thinking, 'I want to cram in as many different characters as I can before I go back onto Yellowstone.'
"[Doing so is a way of] keeping it alive for myself so that then, when I go back to Yellowstone, I can kind of strap Beth back on, and it feels reinvigorated because I stepped away," said the celebrity.
