Additionally, Matthew McConaughey is reportedly being eyed because the lead character within the new collection, which can proceed the saga of the Dutton household in lieu of a sixth season.
Why is Kevin Costner leaving Yellowstone?
In February 2023, Deadline reported that the dispute between Costner and The Paramount Network involved his participation in season 5’s filming schedule. It famous that Costner’s precedence was Horizon, a brand new multipart Western movie that’s his present ardour venture. According to the report, Costner’s commitments to these movies led him to shoot solely 50 days for the primary half of Yellowstone season 5. But Costner “only wanted to spend a week shooting” for the remaining episodes of the season. Subsequently, Paramount Network made plans to finish the collection and push towards a sequel present.
Sheridan addressed the problem in a June 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the place he stated: “My last conversation with Kevin was that he had this passion project he wanted to direct. He and the network argued about when he could be done with Yellowstone. I said, ‘We can certainly work a schedule toward [his preferred exit date],’ which we did.”
“My opinion of Kevin as an actor hasn’t altered,” added Sheridan. “I’ve never had an issue with Kevin that he and I couldn’t work out on the phone. But once lawyers get involved, then people don’t get to talk to each other and start saying things that aren’t true and attempt to shift blame based on how the press or public seem to be reacting. He took a lot of this on the chin, and I don’t know that anyone deserves it … I’m disappointed. It truncates the closure of his character. It doesn’t alter it, but it truncates it.”
What does Kevin Costner say about his future involvement with Yellowstone?
Costner has not given interviews in regards to the topic. However, as reported by Deadline, Costner’s departure from Yellowstone got here up throughout his divorce proceedings in September 2023,

I was going to do my movie Horizon and leave that show, do my movie, then do B. A show I was only doing once a year I was now doing twice.”
“We did negotiate,” added Costner. “There were issues about creative … I tried to break the logjam. They walked away.” Costner additionally famous that he was provided $24 million to shoot Yellowstone seasons 6 and seven.

“Kevin Costner has been telling people he’s planning to return for at least a cameo and possibly more, but there are currently no discussions for him to do that,” Belloni wrote in his e-newsletter. “Even if Costner considerably lowers his monetary and time dedication calls for, Sheridan might not wish to trouble reopening his completed scripts to accommodate a send-off for John Dutton.

Does this imply that Costner is coming again? Not fairly. As famous above, the earlier report in Puck means that Sheridan could also be lower than accommodating about altering his scripts for the remaining episodes of Yellowstone even when it means giving the present’s star one final sendoff. Regardless, Costner sounds hopeful in regards to the state of affairs.
“I’d like to be able to do it, but we haven’t been able to … I thought I was going to make seven [seasons] but right now we’re at five,” associated Costner. “So how it works out — I hope it does — but they’ve got a lot of different shows going on.

That’s a giant query and one we will’t actually reply at this level. We can solely speculate that McConaughey could possibly be enjoying a member of the Dutton who merely wasn’t talked about earlier than. But constructing a collection round a personality who got here out of nowhere would appear odd.
The different prospects are that McConaughey’s character may marry into the Dutton household, or he may merely be somebody who isn’t associated to them by blood or marriage. It’s just too quickly to say which method the brand new collection will go.

Puck’s follow-up in March 2024 said negotiations have been nonetheless ongoing.
Given the best way that Yellowstone season 5A ended, it’s onerous to image Reilly and Wes Bentley returning for the spinoff collection since their respective characters, Beth and Jamie Dutton, have brazenly contemplated murdering one another over their ongoing dispute. Beth is John Dutton’s daughter and Jamie is his adopted son, however they’ve very completely different endgames in thoughts.
