Yellowstone season 5: Wes Bentley teases what’s coming next for his character Jamie

Yellowstone star Wes Bentley has teased that fans will find his character Jamie in a ‘broken’ state when the show returns for its fifth season later this month.

Last season’s dramatic ending saw Bentley’s character – the adopted son of Patriarch John Dutton III (Kevin Costner) – murder his biological father Garrett (Will Patton) after coming under intense pressure from his brother, Beth. (Kelly Reilly) to commit the murder.

Now Bentley has shared some suggestive hints about the extraordinary toll the incident will have on his character as fans prepare for the popular show’s return to screens.

Speaking to Dailymail.com during the season five premiere of the Paramount+ series in New York City, the 44-year-old actor opened up about how his character will struggle with the consequences of his actions.

Quick decision: Season 4’s dramatic ending saw him kill his biological father Garrett (Will Patton), and now Jamie has to face the consequences

“We’re starting at a very low point for Jamie,” he explained. “He’s broken, he’s lost, he’s had to kill his own father from Beth and force him to…and I think any love or reconciliation he had with her is gone. He has his own hatred for her.’

Bentley also explained how watching his father John swear as governor is proving to be another blow to Jamie, adding, “And then his dad takes over as governor…he’s a broken man with no options.

“For the first time, he feels checkmate and really under someone’s thumb.”

He continued: ‘He realizes that they will not give him anything. What does that mean for Jamie? How does he react to that? Is he going to make it or does he know his life is in danger and he needs to protect himself?’

Bentley concluded, “It’s starting to dawn on him that this is more dangerous than he thought.”

Jamie’s biological father Garrett had previously revealed himself as the source of an assassination attempt on Beth and the rest of the Dutton family, leading her to blackmail Jamie into threatening to report him and his biological father to the police.

Pushed to the limit: Bentley also explained how watching his father John swear as governor was another stab in the chest for Jamie

To protect herself from her anger, Jamie shot Garrett dead in a fit of despair.

It was previously revealed in season three why so much animosity had developed between the character and his sibling, ultimately affecting his shocking actions last season.

During their teenage years, Beth became pregnant after dating her future husband Rip (Cole Hauser), and she turned to Jamie to help her have an abortion.

However, he took her to a clinic on a Native American reservation that would only perform the abortion if she was sterilized afterward.

Jamie agreed to the sterilization without telling his sister, and the clinic didn’t get her consent, preventing her from having children.

Beth and Rip later cemented their relationship. Yellowstone is described as a neo-western series created by writer and director Taylor Sheridan.

It follows the Costner’s Dutton family, who run one of the largest ranches in Montana, which borders a Native American reservation and the national park of the same name.

The series has become a huge hit with critics and fans alike as 15 million viewers tuned in for the season four finale.

Jefferson White (who plays Jimmy Hurdstrom) teased Dailymail.com on the red carpet that fans would be treated to the “biggest season yet.”

Tune in: The fifth season of Yellowstone is split into two parts of seven episodes each

“The enemies Dutton faces are bigger than ever, scarier than ever, more complicated than ever, the conflict is only expanding in new and unexpected directions,” he gushed. “There are an incredible amount of new characters this season, so new enemies and allies.”

The fifth season of Yellowstone will be split into two parts of seven episodes each.

The first two episodes of Yellowstone season five are coming Paramount+ on November 13 and on Paramount + UK the following day, with episodes for part one appearing weekly thereafter. The second episode of season five will air on Paramount+ in 2023.

Yellowstone Season 5 premieres November 14 only on Stan in Australia.
