It might be one of the highest rated television series right now, but it seems like there is just as much drama off screen as there is on screen. In fact, there’s a new report that suggests actor Wes Bentley might be able to save Yellowstone from cancellation as he thinks that extra screen time might just be the answer. Keep reading below for everything you need to know!
Wes Bentley – Is Trying To Save Yellowstone From Cancellation
According to the latest edition of The National Enquirer, Wes Bently is looking to take over as the new star of the show, should Kevin Costener throw in the towel and call it a day!
There have been several reports suggesting that Kevin is looking to cut back or even quit the show altogether. If that happens, there’s a chance that the producers might just cancel the show after only five seasons, which would be hugely disappointing for fans.
One source close to the situation even put it this way, ‘Wes wants his name thrown into the mix. He’s ready for extra screen time!”
Apparently, Kevin Costener has been clashing with producers behind the scenes mostly because he wants time off so he can work on his other projects. And while the cast has confirmed that the second half of season five has not yet started filming, some people are concerned that the cameras may never begin rolling ever again.
The insider added, “It’s worrying that things seem to be on hold, but Wes thinks everything’s going to be fine even if Kevin’s stepback is permanent.”
What’s Next For Yellowstone?
Meanwhile, Wes is looking to step into the spotlight after overcoming a few struggles himself. As many of his fans probably already know, he battled a near-fatal drug addiction shortly after he became a household name thanks to his role in the massively popular film American Beauty back in 1999. He’s only now managed to get things rolling again in his career.
The insider also said, “Wes has been to hell and back and this show means everything to him. This is an opportunity he’s been preparing his whole life – even if he didn’t realize it.”
