'I hate them too': Wes Bentley shares dwindling bonds in Yellowstone Season 5

The Tension Rises: Wes Bentley Talks "Yellowstone" Season 5 and Fractured Family Ties

The chilling whisper, "They don't love me. I don't love them," echoed from Yellowstone's Wes Bentley gives an alarming glimpse into the drama's fifth season. The actor opened up about the tormented dynamics between his character, Jamie, and his sister Beth, in an interview with People at the season five premiere.

Broken Bond: Jamie and Beth's Relationship Beyond Repair

Bentley's character, Jamie, has been riding a tumultuous roller-coaster with Beth, played by Kelly Reilly, since season four of the hit Paramount+ series. An incident, where Beth manipulated Jamie into killing his biological father Garrett, added an irreparable crack to their bond. Garrett was revealed as the instigator behind an assassination attempt on Beth and the Dutton family, and Beth used this leverage to secure her own safety, pushing Jamie to his extreme.

"I thought for a long time that [reconciliation] might happen," Bentley explained. But with the forceful killing, and the crumbling affection, Bentley's character has become estranged from his family. "Jamie's losing his love for them too. And losing his patience," he shared.

Past Skeletons: The Root Cause of Animosity

The bitter feud between Jamie and Beth can be traced back to a gut-wrenching incident from their teenage years. Beth, pregnant with her future husband Rip's child, sought Jamie's help for an abortion. Unbeknownst to Beth, the clinic they visited required sterilization post-abortion. Jamie allowed this without her consent, leaving her incapable of bearing children, igniting a deep-seated resentment.

"I was surprised," Bentley revealed when he discovered the root of the animosity in the series. "I kind of knew something like that, but I didn't know it was that in particular until I read it, and I was as heartbroken as everyone else."

Slow-Burn Drama and Political Intrigue: Season 5 Teaser

While fans can expect some action-packed scenes in the upcoming season, Bentley hints at a more politically-charged narrative. "There's danger in that too. That's where a lot of our attention lies and the danger lies," he hinted.

Yellowstone, a neo-Western drama that has resonated with audiences globally, explores the intricate dynamics within the Dutton family, which controls one of Montana's largest ranches. The series takes place against the stunning backdrop of the national park and a neighboring Native American reservation.

With the successful launch of season five, the stage is set for a high-stakes family saga. Yellowstone's latest season, now streaming on Paramount+, promises even more cliffhangers, political maneuvers, and heart-wrenching drama than ever before.
