Filming "Yellowstone" in Montana is no joke. The cast goes through cowboy camp, they deal with the harsh seasons that come with the state, and they do a great job of showing off Montana’s beauty through the ranching scenes. Now, we’re seeing a whole new side of ranching as Rip and some of the bunkhouse moved to Texas with the herd. That meant production moved to Texas too, and Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly told me about the challenges that came with filming in this new environment.

Ahead of "Yellowstone’s" Season 5B premiere on the TV schedule, I spoke to Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser about Rip and Beth’s story. That included us chatting about their characters making their way to Texas to help save the "Yellowstone’s" cows. Both actors didn’t hold back when it came to the big challenges of filming in The Lone Star State, and Reilly even explained that they had to have a snake wrangler on set.

00:00I was going to ask about the differences of filming in Montana versus Texas, especially when you're filming the ranching
00:06scenes.
00:06Yeah, there's a lot more snakes. We had a snake wrangler and they found a bunch of them with the
00:12big rattlesnakes and the tarantulas like I'm from South London.
00:17Like this most scary thing in England is a stinging knuckle. It's hot as hell there, too. It's so hot.
00:22I'm in all black, black beaver, black shirt, black chaps. I mean, it was 110.
00:28Insane. We were there for you there longer than me. I only did a few days in Texas, but we're
00:33filming on the four sixes ranch out near Guthrie.
00:36Is that right, Guthrie? Amarillo. And it was just this expansive land. You feel like you're in the savannah of
00:45Africa.
00:45Yeah, you can't even keep weight on either. I mean, everybody lost weight. Yeah. We were riding and chasing cows
00:50and just sweating.
00:51Really. Yeah. I mean, you're just every day trying to drink as much water as you can.
00:55You can sell tablets, but very cool, though, to be out there in four sixes. I mean, it's a legendary
01:00ranch, so.
01:01Yeah.
01:01Yeah.
