Fans would no doubt love to hear some actual concrete updates from Kevin Costner and/or Taylor Sheridan, following weeks of either silence (Sheridan) or videos and messages about completely different projects (Costner). The latter is gearing up production for his multi-feature western epic Horizon, as well as a documentary series on A&E called Kevin Costner’s The West, which have also helped fuel the idea that he’s no longer dedicated to the show that vaulted his career back into the limelight. (He didn’t even mention Yellowstone during his post-ceremony Golden Globes acceptance speech.)
As great as it would be if all of these rumors and reports were intentionally meant to get viewers excited for more Yellowstone backstabbing and other kinds of stabbing, it seems like the behind-the-scenes strife is all too authentic. And with the writers strike now causing a major disruption throughout Hollywood and beyond, it’s unknown when the remaining six episodes of the fifth season will go into production.
Yellowstone’s first four seasons are available to stream in full with a Peacock subscription, though there’s no telling when Season 5’s episodes will make it to the service.
