Excitement is brewing in the Yellowstone universe! With a spinoff featuring fan-favorite characters Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Rip (Cole Hauser) on the horizon, the buzz is palpable. Set in the present day after the dramatic series finale, this new series promises to deliver more of the intense storytelling that has captured audiences since Yellowstone premiered. Not only have Reilly and Hauser signed on to reprise their roles, but young star Finn Little is also confirmed to return as Carter!
Finn Little, the Australian actor who entered the spotlight in Season 4, has dramatically grown since his introduction as the cherubic Carter. Viewers were astonished in Season 5 as they noticed his major growth spurt, leading to questions about whether he had been replaced by another actor! Now at 19, he’s set to bring Carter back to life, the scrappy teen who forms a bond with Beth in the hospital, both dealing with their father-related struggles. After Carter loses his dad to addiction, Beth and Rip become his legal guardians, adding another layer to this riveting story.
In an excited Instagram post confirming his return, Little wrote, “Must be true then…” while tagging Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and series creator Taylor Sheridan. Fans couldn’t have been more thrilled!
