There’s a report circling around that Yellowstone could end soon because of Kevin Costner’s alleged request to spend just one week filming the back half of season 5. Deadline was the first to report this news, however! Kevin’s lawyer Marty Singer just issued a statement denying it to Entertainment Tonight.
“The idea that Kevin was only willing to work one week on the second half of season 5 of Yellowstone is an absolute lie,” Singer said. “It’s ridiculous—and anyone suggesting it shouldn’t be believed for one second. As everyone who knows anything about Kevin is well aware, he is incredibly passionate about the show and has always gone way above and beyond to ensure its success.”
Meanwhile, Paramount also issued a statement, telling the outlet, “As we previously stated, Kevin has been a key component of the success of our Yellowstone series, and we hope that continues from here on out.”
A Paramount spokesperson also addressed the reports that Matthew McConaughey could star in a new Yellowstone series, telling ET, “We have no news to report. Kevin Costner is a big part of Yellowstone and we hope that’s the case for a long time to come. Thanks to the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan, we are always working on franchise expansions of this incredible world he has built. Matthew McConaughey is a phenomenal talent with whom we’d love to partner.”
Guess we can all calm down ’til the Yellowstone rumor mill starts churning again.
