Paramount Network’s Yellowstone took years to achieve the kind of widespread pop culture acclaim. However, that matched up with its monster ratings and chart-topping DVD sales. Also, mass appeal throughout the U.S. But it only took a few months for all that success and goodwill to implode over alleged behind-the-scenes conflicts tied to Kevin Costner’s scheduling. It is an eagerness to work on other projects like his upcoming pair of Horizon Western features.
While the network announced nothing officially or creator Taylor Sheridan. However, it’s now in the report that Costner is indeed destined to exit the role of John Dutton after Season 5. Though it’s still unclear when (or if) we’ll see the remaining episodes.
Kevin Costner potentially vacated his beloved role as the Dutton family patriarch. However, It was already a big part of fan discussions after the initial rumours broke. Also, they only grew stronger once they confirmed that Paramount is developing a spinoff to be fronted by Matthew McConaughey.
Now, E! News is citing sources close to production in reporting. So, the Oscar-winning filmmaker will not be returning to the Yellowstone-verse beyond Season 5. And it’s hard to imagine the Western drama will continue without its key star. Though there are 100% ways for Taylor Sheridan to go that route creatively, given how stacked, and talented. Also, equally beloved the show’s other lead cast members are.
When Will Season Five, Part Two Premiere?
Though originally intended to be just a short reprieve for the holidays. So, the second half of the season now has no return date set on the Paramount Network. There are still another six episodes to finish out Season Five. A new trailer promoting the official Yellowstone podcast announced that fans can follow #YellowstoneTV to await further updates.
Meanwhile, creator Taylor Sheridan will have to figure out how to move forward if Costner doesn’t return. According to Deadline, talks are in progress to continue with Matthew McConaughey in a “potential franchise extension”. It remains unclear if anyone from the main Yellowstone cast will move over to the new series. Also, the report states that “we expected to include several of the big stars.”
What Will Happen in Part Two?
I can’t predict how the season will end. Also, the Dutton family will certainly have problems knocking on their door when we return. John’s son, Jamie, is planning to impeach him, take the governorship, and maybe even kill him?! What’s worse, he’s sleeping with the enemy—the conniving Sarah Atwood from Market Equities. Thomas Rainwater isn’t too happy that John’s family squabbles are distracting him from a potential pipeline that may run through the reservation. So, he also has U.S. Fish and Wildlife Park officers breathing down his neck after accidentally killing endangered wolves.
However, Just before the midseason finale, a bacterial disease called brucellosis threatened to wipe out his cattle entirely. As forcing him to send the herd down to Texas. The move may not only put them closer to a possible reunion with Jimmy down on the 6666 ranches. Also, leasing the land may bankrupt the Duttons as well. “I wanted to never, ever shy away from, This was the price.”
