Yellowstone star Wes Bentley has teased that fans will find his character Jamie in a 'broken' state when the show returns for its fifth season later this month.
The dramatic ending of the previous season saw Bentley's character — who is the adopted son of patriarch John Dutton III (Kevin Costner) — killing his biological father Garrett (Will Patton) after coming under ferocious pressure from his sibling, Beth (Kelly Reilly) to commit the murder.
Now, Bentley has shared some suggestive hints about the extraordinary toll that incident will have on his character as fans prepare for the popular show to return to screens.
Speaking to Dailymail.com at the season five premiere of the Paramount+ series in New York City, the 44-year-old actor opened up about how his character will be seen struggling with the repercussions of his actions.

Snap decision: The dramatic ending of season 4 four saw him kill his biological father Garrett (Will Patton) and now Jamie has to deal with the repercussions
'We start at a really low point for Jamie,' he explained. 'He’s broken, he’s lost, he’s had to kill his own father from Beth forcing him to… and I think whatever love or reconciliation he had with her is gone. He has his own hatred for her.'
Bentley also stated how watching his father John swear in as governor proves to be another blow for Jamie as he continued: 'And then his dad taking the governorship... he’s a broken man with no options.
'For the first time he feels check-mated and stuck under someone’s thumb for real.'
He continued: 'He realizes they’re not going to give him anything. So what does mean for Jamie? How does he react to that? Is he gonna go get it or does he know his life’s in danger and he has to protect himself?'
Bentley concluded: 'It’s starting to click to him that this is more dangerous than he thought.'
