Fan-favorite contemporary Western drama Yellowstone comes to a close today after entertaining fans with cowboys for six years. Although the second half of Season 5 was extremely poorly executed, Sheridan somehow ended the show on a good note in the most anticipated finale. At the end, a female narrator beautifully summarizes the series so far. New fans may not know who this is, but longtime fans who have been watching all the installments of the Yellowstone franchise know him. It’s none other than Elsa Dutton, so if you’re still wondering who she is, keep reading to learn more about her.
Elsa Dutton is John Dutton’s great aunt
When Moe is repairing the gravestones that the children uprooted, we see Elsa Dutton’s grave for a second. In the very next scene, Elsa Dutton lends her voice as the narrator and delivers a final monologue that summarizes the main theme of Yellowstone. If you’re just getting into the main series Yellowstone, you may not be familiar with it.
Because Elsa Dutton is one of the main characters of the Yellowstone spinoff, 1883: A Yellowstone Origin Story. Even more special is the fact that he served as the narrator in both the Yellowstone spinoffs, 1883 and 1923. So, she came back once again to give the closing speech for the Yellowstone series finale.
If you’re curious about how he’s related to the modern generation Dutton family, we have the answer for that too. Elsa Dutton is the first daughter of James and Margaret Dutton, the first generation of the Dutton family that we know of. now it makes elsa John Dutton’s great-grandmother (Played by Kevin Costner). Without spoiling anything about the spinoff, I can say that he is one of the important characters that contributed to the existence of the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch.
Now that Yellowstone has ended, I think it’s the perfect time for fans to watch 1823 and 1923 as the latter’s second season premieres next year. These are quality spinoff shows that can help you fill the void now left by Yellowstone. That said, what do you think of Elsa’s final monologue? Let us know in the comments below.
