Yellowstone's Cole Hauser gives cryptic response as he's asked point-blank about his character Rip Wheeler's fate

Yellowstone is officially coming to an end, with the final ever episodes of Season 5 airing from Monday only on Stan.

Ahead of the highly anticipated finale, Cole Hauser – who plays gun-toting ranchman Rip Wheeler – gave an interesting answer when he was asked point-blank about the fate of his character.

The final installment of Yellowstone will premiere Monday November 11 only on Stan.

"There are a lot of internet fan theories that things will not end well for Rip. Well …?" the actor was asked in a recent interview with Parade.

He responded: "You'll have to wait. Listen, Rip does a lot of the killing. I'll tell you that."

Hauser also responded to rumours that there could be a spin-off show with Rip and his partner Beth Dutton, played by Kelly Reilly.

"I mean, obviously it would be amazing. There are talks about it, and we'll see how it shakes out," he said.

Above all, Hauser is just excited that people will finally get to see how the final episodes pan out.

"I thought it would be one year and done," he said. "It started out very grassroots because people on the edges of America weren't aware of it. We've created an unbelievable fan base. People just adore the show."

After Kevin Costner confirmed earlier this year that he wouldn't be returning for the final season, it's anyone's guess how the last episodes will play out.
