Yellowstone star Kevin Costner reveals the real reason for his feud with the show's producers.
Costner has a new in-depth interview on Deadline, in which he addresses his highly-publicized contract dispute with Yellowstone 's producers and Paramount. Costner outright called the reporting on the dispute not"truthful" in his response, stating"Well, I haven't felt good about it the last year, what with the way they've talked about it. It wasn't truthful. So now I'm talking about a little bit about what the real truth of it was.
"I made a contract for seasons five, six and seven," Costner said."In February, after a two- or three-month negotiation, they made another contract. They wanted to redo that one, and instead of seasons six and seven, it was 5A and 5B, and maybe we'll do six. They weren't able to make those. Horizon was set in the middle, but Yellowstone was first position. I fit into the gaps. They just kept moving their gaps.
Yellowstone has had its production and release schedules seriously disrupted in the last few years. The decision for Season 5 to be the Final Season of the series caught a lot of viewers off guard, since Yellowstone has never been more popular. Wen it was announced that Costner was leaving the show as the lead character John Dutton , it was hard understand how creator Taylor Sheridan would land the plane.
The 2023 Writers' and Actors' Strikes, combined with behind-the-scenes troubles, hit Yellowstone as the worst possible moment : The second half of Season 5 will be arriving nearly two years after the final episode of Season 5A dropped on New Year's Day 2023 – which is, understandably, a massive time commitment for the cast to have made.
Yellowstone Season 5B will premiere on November 10th. Plans for a Yellowstone Sequel Series are already underway.
