REPORT: ‘Yellowstone’ To Be Cancelled After Season 5

A report launched Monday claims that “Yellowstone” will likely be cancelled after season 5.

A number of sources instructed the New York Put up that the hit cowboy drama from celebrity author Taylor Sheridan, “Yellowstone,” will conclude after the second half of season 5 airs at some unknown time sooner or later, if it does in any respect.

It’s unclear when the second half of season 5 will resume filming. Tensions on the set have been rising for a bit of beneath a yr, with the primary studies surrounding “Yellowstone’s” main man, Kevin Costner, who performs John Dutton.

Costner’s spouse reportedly demanded he stop the present over its capturing schedule in October 2022. Apparently, there was by no means a thought that “Yellowstone” would achieve success, however Costner now earns roughly $1 million per episode. Sheridan is now arguably the most important title in Hollywood manufacturing, having signed a large cope with Paramount to convey a slew of A-list film stars again to tv.

“It’s the identical as with every showrunner and massive star — there’s respect, however there’s friction,” a manufacturing supply instructed NYP. Whereas most rumors have circulated on Costner and his alleged stubbornness over the present, the supply countered, claiming that Sheridan is absolutely the difficulty.

“Taylor is the star of his present. He’s a very powerful particular person on all of his reveals,” the supply stated. It’s unclear whether or not the sources realizes that the one motive “Yellowstone” exists is due to Sheridan. With out Sheridan, the solid, crew and possibly the manufacturing groups of all his different reveals wouldn’t have work. So, yeah, he’s a very powerful particular person on this context.

However the supply apparently has hope.

“We’re hoping it is going to be labored out. It’s too massive a present for issues to not be labored out,” the supply instructed the outlet. “Hopefully Kevin will return for the remaining episodes if everybody works collectively, nevertheless it appears to be like like ‘Yellowstone’ will finish after this season.”

One other supply considerably dismissed the boldness behind the unique supply’s statements. “Solely Taylor actually is aware of what’s going on,” that supply said. (RELATED: Matthew McConaughey Particulars What He Hopes To Convey To ‘Yellowstone’ World)

“Taylor spent years not being actually appreciated in Hollywood,” the supply continued, “and now that he’s the highest of the heap, there’s undoubtedly some ego to all of this.”

However, once more, if I used to be the #1 author on this planet and had a improvement deal that included bringing the likes of Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman to tv, I’d have an ego too!

“Kevin’s been extraordinarily cooperative with working with Taylor and his manufacturing firm, 101 Studios. They have been imagined to shoot the second chapter of Season 5 late final yr, however they simply didn’t have the scripts,” a Hollywood supply instructed the NY Put up. “Taylor is overburdened and Kevin made himself obtainable in the beginning of the yr, however once more, nothing was prepared. Kevin had already dedicated to creating his different motion pictures. He had given the producers his schedule.”

Paramount apparently needs “Yellowstone” off the air inside the yr, the Hollywood supply claimed. The community doesn’t have an unique cope with the present, in contrast to all of Sheridan’s different reveals, so they need him specializing in simply the reveals that help their studio, one can assume from the supply’s feedback.
