The Ranch’s Rooster: Did He Really Die?

For fans of the Netflix show The Ranch, the fate of Rooster Bennett (played by Danny Masterson) has been a long-standing topic of discussion. In Part 5 of the show, Rooster was last seen leaving the ranch after being threatened by Nick, Mary’s ex. Many fans have been speculating ever since about whether he is alive or dead as his body was never found and there has been no further mention of him in subsequent episodes.

The truth is, we don’t know what happened to Rooster after he left the ranch and it’s unclear if he is still alive or not. We can only speculate on what could have happened to him. After all, his motorcycle was destroyed and he had no money or means of transportation. It’s possible that he got lost in the desert while tryig to find his way back home and died from dehydration or exposure to the elements. On the other hand, maybe he made it back home safely and is living a happy life somewhere else. We can only hope that this is true!

Regardless of what happened to Rooster, one thing is certain—he won’t be appearing in any future episodes of The Ranch due to Masterson’s firing from the show amid multiple allegations of sexual assault which were denied by him. So while we may never know Rooster’s ultimate fate, fans will always remember him as an important part of The Ranch family and wonder what might have been had things turned out differently for him.

The Return of the Rooster to the Ranch

No, Danny Masterson’s character Rooster Bennett does not come back on The Ranch. Instead, the show finds a creative way to bring him back without actually bringing back Masterson. In Episode 3, Colt has a near-death experience which triggers his memories of Rooster, allowing him to have an emotional reunion with his brother in spirit form. This is a unique way for the show to bring Rooster back without actually bringing Masterson back.
