‘Yellowstone’: Lainey Wilson Would be ‘Shocked’ if She Didn’t Return for Season 5 (Exclusive)

Yellowstone is supposed to return for the rest of its fifth and final season later this year, but a lot of details about the popular Paramount Network series remain up in the air — and the latest update from one of its stars is a little disappointing. Country star Lainey Wilson — who also appears in the Taylor Sheridan-created series, recently told Fox News (via Collider) that she is still waiting to find out what is happening with the rest of the final season, suggesting that she and other members of the cast haven’t yet been called back to work.

“I’m still waiting to find out what’s happening with Yellowstone,” Wilson said. “I have absolutely no clue. I did talk to Kelly Reilly the other day and, you know, we’ll see what happens. Once they give us the call — we’re there.”

Wilson, who plays Abby on the hit Paramount series, opened up to ET while at the 2024 CMT Music Awards.
Lainey Wilson says she is just as in the dark about the final season of Yellowstone as the rest of the world.

Wilson spoke to ET’s Cassie DiLaura on Sunday at the 2024 CMT Music Awards and said that while she doesn’t have many details about the upcoming installment, she would be surprised if her character, Abby, doesn’t make an appearance.

“I’ll be honest with you. I’d be shocked,” Wilson, 31, told ET. “And I think how [series creator] Taylor Sheridan writes his stories, and he just has a beautiful way of bringing things back and letting things go — I’ll be shocked. So, we’ll see what happens.”

Wilson — who is nominated for three awards and performed her new single, “Country’s Cool Again” — also teased her upcoming tour, which she said could impede her ability to jump into filming for the last season, currently slated to release on Peacock in November.

“What you don’t see on my calendar is rehearsal for this Country’s Cool Again tour. And that’s supposed to be like a week or two. So y’all better let me know,” she said, addressing the Yellowstone team.
