yellowstone will officially end after the final set of season five episodes premiere in November.
The cancellation of Paramount’s hit western series comes months after speculation that series lead Kevin Costner would leave amid rumors he had a falling out with creator Taylor Sheridan.
It was claimed that the actor’s filming schedule for another project left the crew of yellowstone with minimal time to complete filming.
Costner’s attorney disputed the allegation at the time, stating: “The idea that Kevin was only willing to work one week in the second half of the fifth season of yellowstone It’s an absolute lie.”
It was confirmed that Sheridan is working on a spin-off. While the exact details of the sequel’s cast and plot remain under wraps, it has been reported that Matthew McConaughey will star.
Yellowstone has been the cornerstone on which we have launched a universe of global hits, from 1883 until Tulsa King. I am confident that our sequel to yellowstone it will be another huge success, thanks to the brilliant creative mind of Taylor Sheridan and our incredible cast who bring these series to life,” said Chris McCarthy, Chairman and CEO of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios.
“Dutton’s story continues; he will pick up where he left off yellowstone to tell another epic story. We are delighted to bring this new journey to audiences around the world,” said David Glasser, CEO of 101 Studios.
Across five seasons, the popular drama has followed the Dutton family as sixth-generation patriarch John (Costner) fights to preserve the sprawling Montana cattle ranch against the expansion of a frontier town, a Native American reservation. and the first national park in the United States.
