WARNING: This article contains spoilers from all seasons of Yellowstone.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yellowstone season one kicked off the international success of the Western drama and looking back, fans are questioning what happened to Dan Jenkins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As fans continue to wait for Yellowstone season five part two which has been pushed back to 2024, many are reliving the early days or watching it for the first time on CBS.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the first series, land developer Dan Jenkins (played by Danny Huston) was the main antagonist, doing anything and everything he could to get his hands on the Dutton family\u2019s Yellowstone ranch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So much so, that the powerful family starts to believe the only way to get Dan off their backs for good is by killing him off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the season one finale airing this weekend on CBS, viewers are eager to know of Dan\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n

Does Dan Jenkins die in Yellowstone?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Paradise Valley developer Dan Jenkins was determined to build a casino near the Yellowstone ranch and was willing to destroy the Dutton\u2019s in the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But, of course, the family wasn\u2019t going to take this lying down so in season one’s penultimate episode, the ranch hands, led by Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) kidnapped Dan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They hung him on a tree by his neck, ready to move the horse from under his feet to leave him dead if he didn\u2019t tell Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) what he\u2019d been planning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dan does confess all and Rip informs the ranch hands to cut him down, Kayce does the unexpected and slaps the horse away, leaving Dan dangling with death.<\/p>\n

Before it\u2019s too late, the ranch hands are able to get to him just in time to stop Dan from hanging – so he doesn\u2019t die in the first season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Talking about his character\u2019s near-death experience, actor Danny Huston told TV Insider: \u201cThe noose is not only tightening around his neck, it\u2019s also tightening around the story, and things are becoming tighter, like the skin of a drum.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd many things are starting to happen and some sinister ingredients are being introduced and that requires sometimes an alliance between enemies.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut nothing is quite that simple in a [Yellowstone co-creator] Taylor Sheridan screenplay.\u201d<\/p>\n
