As Yellowstone approaches its highly anticipated conclusion, Wendy Moniz, who plays Governor Lynelle Perry, has wrapped her journey on the show. Moniz, a mainstay since 2017, shared her emotional farewell on Instagram, reflecting on her time with the Paramount Network hit series. “Series wrap for me on Yellowstone and been having alllll the feels; sentimental, proud, grateful to name a few,” she wrote, expressing her gratitude for the experience and the talented team she worked with over the years. Moniz fondly described the set as a “home away from home,” highlighting the unique bond she felt with the cast and crew.
The series, which has become a cultural phenomenon, will conclude with the second part of its fifth season, set to premiere on November 10. However, the Yellowstone universe is far from over. The franchise is expanding with several spin-offs, including the newly announced The Madison, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Kurt Russell, and Patrick J. Adams. The contemporary series will follow the Clyburn family as they navigate life in Montana after a tragic plane crash claims the lives of Stacy Clyburn’s husband and brother-in-law.
Additionally, fans can look forward to Yellowstone: 2024, a sequel series that is expected to feature familiar faces like Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Luke Grimes, who will reprise their roles as Beth Dutton, Rip Wheeler, and Kayce Dutton, respectively. While there is no confirmation yet on whether Moniz’s character will appear in 2024, her involvement could hinge on the outcome of the original series’ narrative. It also is up in the air as to whether or not The Madison is actually the new name for 2024 or an additional series.
