Yellowstone has been filming in Montana this summer.
And on Tuesday Ryan Bingham, who plays rebellious ranch-hand Walker, shared on Instagram his new wife Hassie Harrison will also be back on the series. They wed in May after dating for one year.
On the Dutton ranch, she plays his on-screen love interest as well; her name is Laramie and she works as a barrel racer.
Even if Kevin Costner has not returned to close out the end of season five, many others have saddled up again. Luke Grimes has his cowboy boots back on to star again as John Dutton’s son Kayce Dutton.
Keilly Reilly, who plays hellcat Beth Dutton, confirmed on July 20 she was on set with a video as she wrote, ‘The group of people that continue to make this wild show make it with all their hearts and guts, I’m so deeply proud to be running alongside them. The rawness and beauty of this year’s season is really something. Can’t wait to share it in November.’
Others who are back on the ranch: Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler, Jen Landon as Teeter, Jake Ream as Jake, Ian Bohen as Ryan, Denim Richards as Colby, Forrie J Smith as Lloyd Pierce, Dawn Olivieri as Sarah Atwood, and Finn Little as Rip’s son Carter.

Many of the actors have been seen practicing lassoing and riding at Chief Joseph Ranch.
Hauser has already shared photos from Montana where he has been filming the modern Western series since late May: ‘Good morning Montana, I’ve missed ya old friend! If you are going to rise, you might as well shine.’
Smith, who plays a cattle hand on the show, is also back filming more scenes alongside Hauser and Bingham. He confirmed his return months ago.
Wes Bentley and Kelly Reilly are also expected to be in the last few episodes of season five, but not Kevin Costner, who has said recently he will not film any more scenes.
It is not yet known if Ryan’s new wife Hassie Harrison, who plays barrel racer Laramie on the show, will have any scenes.

Lainey Wilson has said that she is not sure if she is going back to Yellowstone, where she played musician Abby. Her music was also used on the series.
Wilson has said many times she would love to shoot more scenes for the series.
Piper Perabo shared images from Montana earlier in June suggesting she will return as Costner’s love interest Summer Higgins.
But because Costner will not be shooting any more scenes for the show, it is likely Perabo won’t either.
Or she may just be accompanying her husband Stephen Kay, who is a writer on the show.
The popular series will return on November 10, 2024.

Paramount Network announced on June 20 that Yellowstone will make its much-anticipated return on Sunday, November 10 at 8pm ET/PT.
Internationally, Yellowstone will premiere on Paramount+ in Canada on November 10th, the U.K. on November 11th and in Latin America, Brazil and France later in November.
Yellowstone chronicles the Dutton family who controls the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States.
Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect – the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders – an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America’s first national park.
Yellowstone is co-created by Sheridan and John Linson.
In May Costner shared some insights into his role on the show to GQ.
The Oscar-winning star maintained that he told creator Sheridan he would help end the series, but no scripts have ever come his way.
And Costner also said that he and Taylor have a ‘private’ reason for not going forward, hinting they have disagreements over how the show should end.
But the star, who is promoting his new movie Horizon, said that he wants to help end the Dutton saga for the sake of the ‘audience.’
Just hours after Kevin’s GQ interview surfaced, Paramount Network announced that Yellowstone had already started production on the end of season five and was currently filming in Montana.

Yellowstone premiered in 2018 and has since attracted as many as 10 million viewers.
On the show, Costner plays John Dutton III, who fights to save his ranch; he has been compared to a Godfather character because he uses murder to keep his businesses and family together.
The show needs an ending, but there has been talk that Kevin was too busy or wanted too much money or wanted too much say to get it done.
He has told GQ that he has tried. ‘That’s kind of my Western ethic,’ he said. ‘I’ve been quiet about the whole thing and I’ve taken a beating out there. My castmates are confused. The crew was confused.’
He shared that he only did Horizon because he wanted to work more, and he felt he could do Horizon and Yellowstone at the same time. ‘I’ve always wanted to do this movie,’ Costner said, ‘and I was doing Yellowstone. I love Yellowstone.’
Costner said he was so committed to Yellowstone that he renegotiated from his original three-season deal for as many as seven total seasons.
But there were delays from COVID, the writers’ strike, and ‘further disagreements about scheduling,’ said GQ.
And Costner also said that he and Taylor have a ‘private’ reason for not going forward, hinting they have disagreements over how the show should end. But the star, who is promoting his movie Horizon, said that he wants to help end the Dutton sag a for the sake of the ‘audience’
‘We very rarely started when we said we would and we didn’t finish when we said we would,’ said Costner. ‘And I was okay with that. I really was. I was okay with it, but it wasn’t a trend that could continue for me.’
So he worked on Horizon.
Then Yellowstone proposed splitting the fifth season of the show into two parts. ‘And their big plan was to suddenly do eight now and then in the fall do eight more,’ Costner said.
‘I said, “I have a contract to do Horizon, and I have people and money.” I think there was a belief that I couldn’t get it mounted, but I didn’t really care what anybody believed.’
Kevin’s next project is the movie Horizon: An American Saga which debuted on June 28 in movie theaters
