17 Most Stunning Yellowstone Franchise Deaths

No character is safe in Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe. Here are the 17 most stunning deaths from 1883, 1923 and five seasons of Yellowstone.

17. Jamie Dutton, ‘Yellowstone’

Jamie Dutton’s death during the Season 5 Yellowstone finale was seven years in the making. Everyone knew Beth Dutton wanted him dead, but it was still stunning to see it happen.

16. John Dutton, ‘Yellowstone’

Actor Kevin Costner’s public negotiations with Paramount made it clear that his character would not return to finish Season 5. This made his death inevitable as Part 2 of the final season of Yellowstone began.

15. Elsa Dutton, ‘1883’

Elsa Dutton’s death at the end of 1883 would be No. 1 on this list of the Yellowstone franchise’s most surprising deaths, except that we see her got shot through the chest with an arrow in the very first scenes of the prequel.

The show rewinds after that to show James Dutton’s journey northwest, but everyone knows what’s coming.

14. Shea Brennan, ‘1883’

Captain Shea Brennan was an all-time great franchise character who spent the full season of 1883 in a depression. When he dies by suicide at the end, it seems fitting, but still stunning. Brennan knew what was coming all along, but viewers didn’t.

13. James Dutton, ‘1883’ (Death Revealed During ‘1923’)

James Dutton survives 1883, but during a flashback scene in Yellowstone we see him get shot by cattle thieves. It’s not until the start of 1923 that we get confirmation of his death, however. It was an underwhelming end for the patriarch.

12. Margaret Dutton, ‘1883’ (Death Revealed During ‘1923’)

Margaret Dutton’s death was also unexpected. Like James, we learn she died from Elsa’s voiceover at the start of 1923. She froze to death after James died.

11. Claire Dutton, ‘1883’

Aunt Claire Dutton was a grouch widow set to join the Duttons as they advanced northwest from Texas in 1883. In retrospect, there’s no way she would have survived the journey, but her death by suicide foretold of the great tragedies to come.

10. John Dutton, ‘1923’

The original John Dutton died in Ep. 3 of 1923 Season 1, and it’s likely he’d rank higher on this list if we got to know him a little better. Similarly, his wife Emma (Jack Dutton’s mom) doesn’t even make this list.

9. Ennis, ‘1883’

Elsa Dutton falls in love with Ennis during 1883, and they seem set to get married and grow old together. This is the first time this franchise really toyed with our emotions. His stunning death midway through the series changed Elsa’s mood forever.

Paramount Network

8. Donnie Haskell, ‘Yellowstone’

Sheriff Donnie Haskell was a Yellowstone regular who was (mostly) a friend to the Duttons. His death toward the end of Season 4 came out of nowhere. A cafe robbery went wrong and as John and Rip tried to intervene, Donnie caught a stray.

The real-life reason for his character’s death was so actor Hugh Dillon could go on to star in Mayor of Kingstown.

Paramount Network

7. Fred Meyers, ‘Yellowstone’

Fred Meyers was a very small character during Season 1 of Yellowstone, but his death was important. The ranch hand was the first we saw taken to the “train station.” Viewers have no idea what’s happening until Lloyd announces that friend is boarding the “long black train” and shoots him in the head.

6. Colby Mayfield, ‘Yellowstone’

During Season 5 of Yellowstone, Colby Mayfield tries to help Carter escape from a bucking horse and gets stomped on. The sudden departure of one of the show’s most beloved characters was difficult to process. It truly felt like a life cut short.

5. Roarke Moris, ‘Yellowstone’

Roarke Morris didn’t quite reach villain status. He was just kind of a pest during Season 3 of Yellowstone, but he did hire men hired to mess with the Duttons, so he had to go. Rip had the pleasure of doing the job. This is the famous snake in a cooler scene that is kind of iconic.

4. Alexandra, ‘1923’

If you watched 1883, you recognized Alexandra’s path as being similar to Elsa Dutton’s. Somewhere, we were going to find heartbreak. It came during the series finale, Ep. 7, and it was as emotional as any in this franchise.

3. Sarah Atwood, ‘Yellowstone’

Sarah Atwood was a villain, and everyone knows that those who come up against the Duttons are vulnerable. That’s why she ranks so high on this list. We knew she would die, but when it happened midway through Season 5, Part B, it was still a jaw-dropper.

2. Jack Dutton, ‘1923’

The final two deaths on this list of the most stunning deaths in Yellowstone franchise history are very similar. Jack Dutton was bushwhacked by Clyde as he went to join Jacob and the men at the train station. He never even got to pull his gun out.

1. Lee Dutton

It’s Season 1, Ep. 1 of Yellowstone, and one of the main characters gets killed. That set the tone for the show and franchise. Fall in love with nobody if you don’t want to get your heart broken.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 34: Who Has the Most Kills?

Heading into Season 5, Part 2 of Yellowstone, Rip Wheeler has the most kills with nine. Kayce Dutton has five, followed by the Beck Brothers (three by proxy) and Agent Steve Hendon (three).

Granted, it’s impossible to tell who killed who during certain scenes. For example, the Season 2 finale is chaos and many people get killed in a hail of gun fire at the start of Season 4. This info is confirmed kills after re-watching and with help from this Yellowstone Wiki page.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 33: These Two Got Married

Walker and Laramie were a sexy on-screen couple during Season 4 and Season 5 of Yellowstone, and that chemistry spilled over. The got married in October 2023.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 32: Why Sam Elliott Said ‘No’

Sam Elliott was terrific on Taylor Sheridan’s 1883, but during that run he admitted to Marc Maron that he said “No” to Yellowstone.

The reason? He doesn’t like the show. Honestly, he blasted it as a soap opera that was too much like “f—ing” Dallas.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 31: What Lainey Wilson Stole

Lainey Wilson appeared as Abby during Season 5 of Yellowstone, and after filming, she admitted a theft to Taste of Country.

One day, she arrived having not showered or shaved, so she took prop deodorant and razors from the bunk house and made do. Kinda curious to know if she put ’em back.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 30: The Truth About Zach Bryan’s First Appearance

Yellowstone really wanted to feature Zach Bryan’s song “Condemned,” but his original was recorded in an AirBNB. So the show paid for him to re-cut it with Chris Stapleton’s producer Dave Cobb in Nashville. It happened in November 2019 and produced a two-song EP called Studio A Recordings. The next year he’d appear on Yellowstone, and his career took off soon after.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 29: John Dutton May Not Be Getting Rich But Kevin Costner Is

In July 2022, Variety reported that Costner was set to earn $1.3 million per episode of Yellowstone, up from $500,000 an ep. in Season 1. That includes some production credits and other responsibilities.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 28: How Much Does Rip Make?

Season 5 salaries for the rest of the cast of Yellowstone are not known, but Cinema Blend estimated that Kelly Reilly (Beth), Cole Hauser (Rip), Luke Grimes (Kayce), Wes Bentley (Jamie) and Kelsey Asbille (Monica) made about $200,000 per episode in Season 1.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 27: Speaking of Rip …

Taylor Sheridan only had eyes for Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler. The Dazed and Confused actor and (bonus fact) heir to Warner Brothers didn’t even have to audition for Yellowstone.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 26: A Connection With ‘Lost’

During Season 4, Rip (Cole Hauser) kills Roarke by throwing a rattlesnake at him. It was cool at the time, if a bit unrealistic as time has passed.

That was the first time Taylor Sheridan tapped an actor from the hit ABC show Lost for Yellowstone. He’ll do it again for the sequel, The Madison. The new series is set to star Matthew Fox, who played Jack on the 2000s TV show.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 25: Kelly Reilly’s Audition

The woman who would come to play Beth Dutton did send an audition tape, but when Taylor Sheridan saw it, he knew she was Beth. He says that’s his favorite character to write.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 24: Will All the Real Cowboys Please Stand Up?

Not you, Jimmy. Actor Jefferson White’s inability on a horse is well-documented — although we hear he’s getting better — but other actors that stay in the Yellowstone bunkhouse are veterans of the rodeo. Actor Forrie J. Smith (Lloyd), Jake Ream (Jake), Ethan Lee (Ethan) and Ryan Bingham (Walker) are four with serious horse cred. In fact, they help teach the rest of the cast how to ride and handle horses. Writer Taylor Sheridan is also very capable. In fact …

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 23: Those Aren’t Just Any Horses

Sheridan supplies many of the horses used on Yellowstone from his own ranch. Others that are noted as famous in Yellowstone are actual champion horses. Metallic Cat has a stud fee of $10,000.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 22: Lloyd’s Bunk

Many of the actors on the show lend their expertise to the set and script. Forrie J. Smith provided helpful insight when it came to designing the famous Yellowstone bunkhouse. He’d actually lived in similar settings, so he knew. Many of the personal items in Lloyd’s bunk came from Smith’s career and collection.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 21: Does Sarah Atwood Look Familiar?

Actor Dawn Olivieri plays Sarah Atwood on Yellowstone, and as Season 5 begins, she’s part of a plot to kill a Dutton.

The irony is, she was a Dutton in a past life. During the first two episodes of 1883, she played Claire Dutton, sister-in-law to James Dutton (Tim McGraw). Things don’t go well for her there.

‘Yellowstone’ Fact No. 20: The Truth About Branding

Jefferson White told Taste of Country how the show’s branding scenes work. “Part of what was important to accomplishing that effect was smoke, sort or rising off the brand. The only way we figured out how to accomplish that was for Cole Hauser … to use an actually super-heated brand,” he says.

White held a piece of wood covered in leather against his chest as Hauser (Rip Wheeler) branded the leather. It was all two inches from his chest. “I will never forget the smell, which was very sort of potent and authentic,” the actor adds. “And I’ll never forget the heat that rose off of the brand at that moment.”
