The hit Paramount Network drama “Yellowstone” is coming to an end, and fans are left wondering what this means for the beloved show. In this blog post, we’ll explore why the show is ending earlier than expected, what the future holds for the franchise, and what this means for the cast and crew.
After four successful seasons, viewers were expecting at least two more before saying goodbye to the Dutton clan. However, show co-creator Taylor Sheridan is now looking to end the show in its fifth season and plans to create a new series starring Matthew McConaughey. This news has come as a shock to fans, as well as to the show’s cast, who were expecting to continue on for at least two more seasons.
At the heart of the issue is a disagreement over shooting schedules with series star Kevin Costner directing and starring in his own multi-part western epic “Horizon” while still attempting to eke out time for the Paramount drama. For the first part of season five, Costner originally limited himself to 65 days of shooting, but that changed to 50. For the second batch of episodes in season five, that number was limited further to just a week, reportedly causing frustration with not just Sheridan but other cast members.
This frustration led to Paramount Network declining Costner’s proposed shooting schedule and instead turning their attention to a new show led by McConaughey. This has led many to speculate that “Yellowstone” will conclude as a series in the second half of the current season which is set to begin in the summer.
Though it is unclear where, or rather, when in Sheridan’s universe the new show will be set, McConaughey is reportedly already in negotiations. Fans of the show can only hope that the new series will be just as successful as “Yellowstone” has been.
