As Taylor Sheridan's neo-Western show Yellowstone reaches its finale, fans prepare to bid their favorite show goodbye.
Season 5, Part 2 of the show began with the much-controversial topic of Kevin Costner's exit, ultimately resulting in his character, John Dutton, being dead.
As the show reaches its finale, fans wonder how many more deaths its makers have up their sleeves.
Denim Richards plays Colby Mayfield in Yellowstone. He was a recurring character in Seasons 1 and 2 and became a permanent part of the show following Season 3.
The actor has been in this profession for two decades and has worked on many TV projects, films, and theatres—more on Denim Richards' career in our story.

What roles has Yellowstone star Denim Richards played so far?
From a young age, Richards was passionate about acting and singing. He realized his dream and started working in shows.
In 2010, the Yellowstone star opened his own production house, Lazer Focus Productions, LLC (LFP), which teams up with talented professionals and tells quality stories in the entertainment industry.
His notable appearances include films like Country Line: No Fear, Country Line: All In, Relativism, and Muse.
He has also appeared in many TV shows, including Good Trouble, Acting Out, Murder Book, and Good Luck Charlie.
Richards also starred in Netflix's The Chickasaw Rancher as Jack Brown, who tells the remarkable story of renowned Chickasaw cattleman Montford T. Johnson.
In addition to his acting career, Richards also believes in giving back to the community and is associated with many notable charities like United Steps, RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network), Rowell's Foster Children's Positive Plan, and the Innocent Justice Foundation.
Did Denim Richards' Colby die in Yellowstone?
Proving nobody is safe, Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 killed another main character after John Dutton and Sarah. Richards' Colby is the one to take the fall this time after his character died in Episode 12, "Counting Coup."
This was shocking for all the fans of the show as his death was very sudden. Colby died helping Carter (Finn Little) tame a bucking horse but was brutally kicked and fatally struck by the animal.
Fans were excited to see more of his budding romance with Teeter (Jennifer Landon). But it was cut short in the show's latest episode because of his sudden and untimely death.
The actor has been an essential part of the show's cast and enjoyed filming for the show. Yellowstone returned after a much-awaited hiatus, and seeing your character die just a few episodes before the finale is not a pretty sight, but Richards embraced it fully and gave his best:
"You have a myriad of emotions that come. But at the end of all of it, you realize that everything good ends, and you just have to appreciate the journey...I've learned so much about the professionalism and business and because of, not only Taylor, but with 101 Studios, and with Paramount.''
He added,
"I took my boots and I took my hat. I think I left my chaps or maybe I took them. The only thing I didn't take was my horse. That's because I don't own the horse.''
While fans bid Colby goodbye in the latest episode, the emotions his death will bring to the surviving characters are yet to be seen.
