Fans React to Accent Reveal
Many viewers were shocked to learn that Reilly is British. One fan expressed disbelief on social media, stating, “Bloody hell, I never realised that Kelly Reilly was English, I’m gobsmacked!” Other fans also commented on her talent, impressed by her ability to adopt a convincing American accent for her role in Yellowstone.
- “Her accent for Beth Dutton is so good, you’d never guess she was British.”
- “I had no idea she was a Brit. It shows how amazing an actress she is.”
Developing the Characters’ Accents
Reilly shared that reverting back to her British accent was natural, but adopting an American accent proved more challenging.

She aimed to capture the sophistication and complexity of the character.
As Under Salt Marsh arrives on BINGE, audiences can look forward to witnessing Reilly’s return to her roots while also confronting the dark elements of her new role. This blend of authenticity and intensity showcases her remarkable range as an actress.
