Remember the other Dutton brother? 'Yellowstone' sure doesn't!
The Big Picture As the biggest show on cable, Yellowstone has proven itself to be a massive national phenomenon that only continues to grow. Now gearing up for the back half of its final season, the Kevin Costner-led series is coming to an uneasy close, with an immediate sequel already in development.
After his death, Annable was understandably written off the series. After all, Yellowstone isn't exactly a show where you can bring characters back from the dead. For years, his only reappearance was via a photo that cameoed in the Season 2 episode ironically titled "Resurrection Day." However, Lee did return via flashbacks to his sibling's childhood in the '90s where he was played by Kip Denton — who, aside from the episode "Blood the Boy," often went uncredited.
In many ways, Yellowstone developed Rip into Lee's replacement, especially in recent seasons. Not only did John gift his surrogate firstborn Lee's old cabin on the Dutton land, but John's love for his new son-in-law rivaled that of his love for his own children. Flashbacks to Rip's teenage years in Season 5 reveal that John helped hide the body of a murdered ranch hand who Rip had killed on accident.
Though it's unlikely we'll see Annable return again as Lee in the future, it was nice to see that, after years of wondering why Sheridan and company seem to have forgotten about him, Yellowstone was willing to elaborate further. After the death of John Dutton's latest grandson in Season 5, the patriarch recalls his own grief when Lee died back in the first season, explaining that he still blames himself to this day.
