Does John Dutton Die In Yellowstone? Some Fans Think They Know

Publish date: 2024-05-08

Fans have also speculated that John could give up his life to protect one of his kids, namely Beth (Kelly Reilly). “Yellowstone” Season 5, Part 1 ended with Beth and Jamie (Wes Bentley) at each other’s throats, with Jamie even trying to remove John from office while Beth supports her father. The rivalry between the two siblings could turn violent, with John becoming a casualty. 

Redditor u/unknownuser123456788 speculates, “He will die saving Beth from Jamie’s plot.” A lot of people like this idea, considering how it ties back to the death of John’s wife, Evelyn (Gretchen Mol). Evelyn blamed Beth when a horse fell on her, and ordered Beth to ride back to get help. Beth blames herself for her mother’s death, so if John dies protecting her, she could wind up believing she caused both her parents’ demises. Redditor u/AmericanWanderlust twists John’s potential role in the Beth-Jamie war: “What if Beth moves ahead with her plan to have Jamie killed and John at the last minute gets cold feet and moves to protect Jamie, taking the bullet or whatever instead.” In that scenario, Beth would be even more directly responsible for John’s death.

All these ideas would be fitting conclusions for John Dutton. After all, as John said in the episode “Blood the Boy,” “There’s no such thing as dying of old age. Something kills us all.” “Yellowstone” has planted many seeds for a John Dutton death, and many viewers think it’s the natural ending for such a significant character.
