Here’s how the planned Beth and Rip Yellowstone spinoff can help atone for season 5’s storytelling sins.

This news should come as no surprise to avid viewers ofYellowstone.

Rip and Beth are fan favorites, so creating a new series around them is a no-brainer.

A Rip and Beth spinoff represents Sheridans chance for a fresh start.

It can make up for the milquetoast, self-indulgent effort thatYellowstonehas put forward in its controversial fifth season.

Thankfully, certain storytelling seeds have already been planted inYellowstonethat might blossom in Rip and Beths future.

Heres how the planned Rip and Beth spinoff could pan out.

True strength of character comes from those who can admit they are wrong, even occasionally.

In fact, if you take the literal meaning of antagonist, thats exactly what Beth is.

Shes listened to her partner when he has needed her.

Shes shown warmth, tenderness, and love.

Once again, that is not a sign of weakness.

That does not make her any less of a bad-ass bitch as so many would write on online forums.

It makes her a well-rounded character with multiple layers.

The Beth mentioned above is the kind of character that needs to lead this spinoff.

That is the kind of character that needs to be the matriarch of the Dutton family.

Why not have this generation of the Dutton clan build something of their own?

Its been the one characteristic that has separated them from the other Dutton generations weve seen.

Why not give us something to cheer for that we can also relate to?

Have Beth and Rip build their own ranch.

Fans enjoy when the Duttons are the underdogs and the new show needs to have them betrueunderdogs.

The Yellowstone season 5 (and probable series) finale airs Sunday, December 15 at 8 p.m.

ET on Paramount connection.
