Does Rip die in Yellowstone?

As a dedicated fan who has watched every gripping moment of Yellowstone unfold, I can confidently say that Rip Wheeler’s survival instinct and unyielding loyalty have been nothing short of remarkable. From his days as John Dutton’s right-hand man to his current role as the guardian of the ranch, Rip has proven time and again that he is a force to be reckoned with.


As I eagerly anticipate the remaining episodes of Yellowstone’s fifth season, I can’t help but ponder if my trusted comrade, Rip, might meet his end before the series concludes. The tension is palpable!

In numerous aspects, Rip stands out as the most intelligent figure on the Dutton Ranch. He’s a man of action, preferring to keep silent and maintain a firm grip, relying on his skill in confrontation to accomplish tasks effectively.

From the very beginning, the Yellowstone character has been a crucial component within the machine, safeguarding John Dutton’s secrets and disposing of unwanted individuals at his command. However, leading such a perilous existence continuously puts him in harm’s way and jeopardizes his own life.

Has Rip still alive on Yellowstone, or did he meet his end so far? If the former, what are his prospects for surviving further? (Note: potential spoilers lie ahead!)

Does Rip die in Yellowstone?

Rip Wheeler (played by Cole Hauser) hasn’t died in Yellowstone…yet.

His job undeniably exposes him to risk. As John’s trusted confidant, Rip frequently finds himself tasked with neutralizing adversaries and avenging the family. Additionally, he serves as a crucial protector for the ranch, confronting anyone who trespasses onto Dutton territory.

This implies that he’s experienced several life-threatening situations up to this point. For instance, during Season 1, Rip encountered a tourist couple who had slipped off a cliff edge in the forest, about to lose their hold. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to rescue them both and nearly got attacked by a bear while trying to help.

In addition, he has experienced brutal confrontations with a biker gang during Season 3 (where they engaged physically with Rip and his fellow ranch workers, and one even brandished a firearm at Rip), and he also hurled a venomous snake towards Roarke Morris in Season 4.

In the season 3 finale, when an attempt was made to kill John Dutton and his family failed, assailants swarmed the ranch and incinerated Rip’s residence completely. Luckily, he was away from the house during this unfortunate event.

Clearly, any of these situations might have ended badly for Rip. But it’s his remarkable strength, tenacity, and relentless determination to complete the task that ensures he escapes each one unscathed.

But that’s not to say Rip is completely safe from the Grim Reaper…

Could Rip die in Season 5 Part 2?

There’s a chance that Rip might perish in Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, but it seems more probable that other characters may meet their end before him.

In my opinion, I’ve come to appreciate Rip as an exceptional ranch manager who’s more than a match for any challenge. I doubt, with all due respect, that anyone could outsmart or overpower him in the upcoming episodes of Yellowstone.

We’ve already ranked who’s most likely to die in Part 2, and Rip is arguably one of the safest members of the Yellowstone crew. But still, with John Dutton out of the picture (thanks to Kevin Costner’s exit), that now makes Rip one of the most important people on the property.

Consequently, the danger has increased significantly for him. Essentially, the battle seems to be escalating between Beth and Jamie Dutton. However, it’s worth noting that their ongoing feud might potentially harm not only themselves but also their dear ones, such as Rip.

Here’s hoping Rip stays safe when Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 returns on November 10.
