Law & Order’s Jill Hennessy Once Appeared In An Episode Of Yellowstone

According to IMDb, Jill Hennessy played Senator Huntington in “Yellowstone’s” debut. Senator Huntington meets with Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), the Broken Rock Indian Reservation leader. He persuades her to help his people regain their land from John Dutton (Kevin Costner). She only has one scene, but it is a memorable one in the pilot of a major series. 

Since her single scene in the pilot, Hennessy has not made another appearance on the Paramount Network hit. With Governor Lynelle Perry (Wendy Moniz) eyeing a seat in the Senate, it’s hard to say if she will reprise her role as Senator Huntington.

Some fans have expressed curiosity about why her character was dropped so swiftly. U/RNutt created a post asking this question, complaining that “Yellowstone” tends to drop plotlines and characters for no reason. U/muireannwolfsbane38 agreed, adding, “Another dropped plotline in a sea of dropped plotlines,” while u/smithey3 said, “Guess her character just didn’t go anywhere.”

It remains to be seen whether Hennessy will return to the “Yellowstone” universe, but for now, fans can see her in the upcoming TV series “Accused” and Marvel’s “Madame Web.”
