Kevin Costner Says He's Open to Reuniting With Taylor Sheridan on Either YELLOWSTONE-Related Project or Something Else
The flagship series Yellowstone has seen such major success, from its huge fanbase to its multiple spinoff series, and viewers are hungry for more. The fifth season of the show has been set to be its last, with alleged scheduling conflicts that have star Kevin Costner leaving the show.
Right now, Yellowstone is planning to air its final episodes in November before launching a new, Costner-free spinoff series, 2024, in December.
But Costner, who plays patriarch John Dutton on the show, claims those final episodes haven’t come together just yet.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly about his latest film, Horizon: An American Saga, Costner said that he still hasn’t connected with Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan on making those final episodes.
“No, we haven’t [talked],” Costner said. However, he added that he’s open to working with Sheridan in the future, whether it’s Yellowstone-related or something new.
He went on: “He’s doing special work in a lot of different ways. He’s very prolific about the things he does, and if he sees me in something that he wants to do, I’ll look at it just the way I did Yellowstone and maybe we will end up doing something together.
“He likes a lot of the things that I like, and the idea of us working together is not out of the question for me. The subjects he chooses are very interesting to me. I like a lot of that stuff. Yellowstone stands as something that could continue. But that is a Taylor question. But other things that he’s doing I think are really, really good. He likes the same subjects that I do.”
The news from Costner’s side of the aisle has been very inconsistent. It seemed like he was walking away from the series, and now it seems like he’s hanging on. Who knows, but hopefully the series will be able to wrap each storyline in a way that does justice to the characters the viewers have grown to love.
