Executive producer Christina Voros, who has directed all episodes of Season 5B so far, spoke hollywood reporter Sunday about the impact of Colby’s murder.
Voros said, “I think what’s so shocking about Colby’s death is that in a season where there are so many twists and dark forces and huge narrative swings, Colby’s death is so powerful because it It’s very simple.” “For someone who really understands the cowboy lifestyle and working with animals and the risks of the jobs – and Rip says this about himself – it’s a dangerous job, and things like this happen and it It’s done in a few seconds.”
He added, “In a world of very high drama, this death comes as a shock because it’s so simple and it’s so based on the world in which all these characters operate that it’s extremely sad because There is no enemy.” “It’s a risk of the job. And especially the way Colby and Teeter’s relationship is going – absence makes the heart grow fonder; And their relationship has really begun to take root in a different way – the timing of it is terrible.
Voros was also asked if the final episode of Season 5, airing on December 15, will actually be memorable The end of “Yellowstone”.
“I don’t think I can answer it any differently than when we talked about it before. It’s difficult,” she said. “The deeper you get into the season, the more chess moves have already been made and so it becomes harder to talk about what’s to come.”
“So much care and attention has been put into this narrative that the desire not to pay attention to what’s to come is very real.”
“Yellowstone” airs Sunday nights at 8 pm on the Paramount Network.
