When it was announced that Yellowstone would conclude with its fifth season, many reports emerged stressing this was a result of an alleged feud between Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan. Moreover, considering that Costner has kickstarted his own film series with Horizon: An American Saga, some speculated his commitment to the Western epic might’ve contributed to its ending.
But earlier this month, the actor finally cleared the air surrounding the Yellowstone drama, even stating that he initially signed in for seven seasons of Sheridan’s western drama.

There has long been rumored tension between Kevin Costner and Yellowstone showrunner Taylor Sheridan, as it was speculated Costner’s alleged issues with the writer led to his exit from the show. But despite marking his exit from the universally acclaimed show, which will end with its second half of season 5, the JFK star isn’t done with westerns, as he has now kickstarted his own film series.
However, during the premiere of his Horizon: An American Saga, the actor fueled up rumors surrounding the Yellowstone creator plagiarizing materials from other Westerns.

The big question that keeps popping up amid Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone fallout is whether the Oscar-winning actor will ever return to the Paramount series without further escalation of the already overblown drama.
As fans, critics, and studio execs watch the unfolding situation that can arguably rival the plot of Yellowstone itself, Costner remains divided over his attachment to the series that very much propelled him to the forefront of fame and relevance as an A-lister.

After years of feuding and inaction, Kevin Costner’s unwillingness to resolve the tension between him and the director is evidence enough of their growing chasm. Moreover, with the public’s attention increasing with every passing month, there seems to be no fitting end to the Yellowstone equation other than the good old formula of forgive-and-forget.

Even though the Internet is still trying to get a full picture of what happened between Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner that the only possible decision was for the actor to leave the show, it is time to move on to the next chapter of Yellowstone. Like it or not, the next spinoff of the show will have to adapt its story to Kevin Costner's absence.
While there are many rumors about what the show will be about and who will be involved in it, there is little to no confirmed information so far. Still, fans of the franchise are grasping at any straws they can find to keep hopes for the show as high as possible.

Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone is coming to an end with the second part of the final season, currently in production. While a spinoff series is in the slate from the same creator, neither Sheridan nor Paramount has said anything definitive about the series. According to a recent report, three major Yellowstone stars would return to the spinoff series with a record salary.

It was reported that Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly, and Luke Grimes would return in the spinoff. Earlier reports suggested that the spinoff is eyeing top actors like Matthew McConaughey and Michelle Pfeiffer, who are pricier than the three aforementioned Yellowstone stars.
However, it is unlikely that these stars would beat the record salaries of Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon in The Morning Show.

Yee-haw! Yellowstone co-stars Ryan Bingham and Hassie Harrison are officially married. The actors, who play onscreen love interests Walker and Laramie in the hit Paramount Network series, wed at Harrison’s family home in Dallas, Texas. Their wedding would make any Yellowstone fan cheer. “I knew I wanted Western, but it had to be elegant Western, with tones of worn leather, delicate lace, and a soft, blush color palette,” Harrison told Vogue. Their nuptials had a cowboy black tie dress code. Harrison wore two wedding dresses on her big day, one for the ceremony and another one for the reception. The couple wrote their own vows. Harrison recalled the moment she saw Bingham as she walked down the aisle. “It was a moment so raw and filled with emotion, it perfectly captured everything we felt about stepping into this new chapter together,” she said.

After years of being in the industry, Taylor Sheridan finally made his presence known to people worldwide through Yellowstone, which became an instant hit among fans as soon as it was released. And yet, despite being one of the actor cum director’s best-ever projects to date, the series still seemingly faces the wrath of critics, as Sheridan himself admitted it.

It was the season of TV that wasn’t actually a full season for a host of shows. It was a season when an Australian blue heeler became the biggest thing in streaming, when women’s sports (basketball in particular) took a big leap, when Jon Stewart got back behind a desk, and when the NFL ruled the TV landscape.
Ok, that last one is true for any of the past, oh, 15 seasons or so (at least). But the others? Those were unique to this year, and even if they were much discussed, there are still some more data points to be mined from them. Here are some of the hidden numbers behind the 2023-24 TV season — beginning with a couple that were truly hidden.

Kevin Costner’s passion for Western projects goes back decades when the actor picked one for his feature directorial debut in 1990. Costner starred, directed, and produced the epic Western film, Dances with Wolves. Costner had the nerves on the first day of the shoot like any debut director and things went a little sideways for the Yellowstone actor.

However, he quickly recovered from the embarrassing moment and saved his face in front of his crew. Dances with Wolves went on to win seven Oscar wins including Best Picture and Best Director for Costner, becoming the first of only four Westerns to win the Best Picture Oscar.

While Taylor Sheridan has been a part of Hollywood since the early 2000s, it is his rise as a screenwriter/director that has made him the icon that he is today. Things kicked off with 2015’s iconic Sicario, which starred the likes of Emily Blunt and Josh Brolin, and made around $85 million against a budget of $30 million.
Delving into the heights of the US Government’s war against drugs and their efforts to subjugate US-Mexican cartels, the movie was initially shelved by Sheridan himself, who thought that it was simply too dark for Hollywood. While Sheridan wrote the script following his Sons of Anarchy stint, which came to an end in 2010, the movie eventually entered production in 2013, and was released in September 2015.

Taylor Sheridan is unarguably one of the most renowned artists in Hollywood in today’s day and age, especially in the television shows/series industry. And this irrevocable fame isn’t for his outstanding acting skills, but rather, for his brilliant skills as a story creator and a showrunner, considering how he has brought a whole masterpiece universe like Yellowstone to life most epically.

However, while many people know him for the widely respected and thoroughly successful man that he is today, not everyone knows how he initially started — which was as an actor.

The sixth and final season of the Paramount Network series Yellowstone is currently in production, aiming for a November 2024 premiere – but the franchise is going to end with the series finale of the flagship show. There have already been reports about a sequel series that may end up starring Matthew McConaughey and Michelle Pfeiffer, alongside returning Yellowstone cast members. Apparently Paramount had a bumpy time getting those returning cast members on board – a couple months ago, it was reported that they were holding out for bigger paydays – but it looks like the deals have been signed now. According to Puck, Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly, and Luke Grimes are officially on board to reprise the roles of Rip, Beth, and Kayce on the Yellowstone sequel series.

TV audiences tracked down “Tracker” in a big way this season. The freshman CBS drama, which stars Justin Hartley as a survivalist who helps law enforcement and others solve tough cases, was the 2023-24 TV season’s most-watched entertainment series. According to the Eye network, that’s the first time a first-year TV series was ranked as the No. 1 show since “Survivor” premiered as an instant phenomenon in 2000.
“Tracker” was helped, of course, by premiering in February behind Super Bowl Lviii — giving it a huge jump start. And this was an unusual, truncated TV season due to the Hollywood strikes, which meant limited episodic orders for most programs. Last year’s top-rated show, Paramount Network’s “Yellowstone,” hasn’t aired an original episode in more than a year — and yet still made the charts, but via repeats that aired this season on CBS.

Wow, Kevin Costner‘s ‘Horizon’ may have gotten a standing ovation at the Cannes, but the critics are far from smiling at the ‘Yellowstone’ star’s “passion” project.
The three-hour Western drama is facing heavy criticisms, with one dubbing it the “dullest cinematic vanity project of the century.”
Kevin Costner’s – “Passion” Project Dubbed A Failure Following Cannes Premiere
Major outlets are unleashing their judgements on Kevin Costner’s 3 hour epic movie ‘Horizon’ and they’re not holding back. This movie is especially significant for Kevin Costner because, not only has he dreamed of making it for over two decades, he actually self-funded the project.
In fact, he leveraged one of his homes to shell out $38 million of the $90 million needed to make ‘Horizon.’
The first chapter is a three-hour long movie that was said to set the stage for the follow-up in the most sluggish and boring of ways.

Manchester City won its fourth Premier League title in a row this year, and Peacock grew its Premier League audience considerably over last year.
Apple’s Mls Season Pass isn’t the only streamer taking advantage of a growing demand in the United States for soccer. The 2023-24 English Premier League season was the fourth full season in which Peacock was a broadcast partner of the top level of soccer competition in the United Kingdom, and new data unveiled by NBC reveals it was the league’s most successful season ever in the United States. Premier League ratings in 2023-24 broke records and fans may want to lock in their Peacock subscription now by buying an annual plan so they aren’t affected by an upcoming price increase on the service.
Key Details: NBC Sports delivered the largest average U.S. Premier League audience in history across NBC, Peacock and USA Network.

Have you ever imagined being so invested in your life’s work that you choose to keep it sacred by not witnessing it firsthand? This is the intriguing case with Yellowstone star Luke Grimes, who, despite having secured his dream role as Kayce Dutton in the Kevin Costner-led sensation Yellowstone, made a personal choice to steer clear of watching the very drama that has skyrocketed his career.
With the mega-hit Western series coming to an end later this year, production is wrapping up on its final episodes. As the cast prepares for their farewell visit to the Dutton ranch, many of the actors are speaking publicly for the first time about the upcoming finale.

Taylor Sheridan was inspired by all the Western films he saw as a youngster to create Yellowstone. One film that influenced him the most was Clint Eastwood’s Oscar-winning film Unforgiven. However, Eastwood’s indirect contributions to Sheridan’s series go beyond Western inspiration. The creator hired one actor in the series after watching him play a role in an Eastwood film.

Do the hats and horses of the neo-Western craze spell out a strictly conservative tale, or is there something else underneath the crown? Yellowstone, featuring a number of acclaimed actors, including Luke Grimes, shines brightly among the list of well-made drama series.
Premiering in 2018, the show galloped into viewers’ hearts, depicting the ups and downs of the Dutton family against a backdrop of the breathtaking Montana range. Despite its success, some critics have hastily pinned the show to the ‘conservative’ board, not considering its nuanced portrayal of complex, contemporary issues.

Grimes seems to be expressing his opinions without holding back in response to these critiques. The American Sniper actor, 40, recently addressed this one-dimensional critique head-on, asking ‘liberal’ critics to look beyond the cowboy ethos and enter the engrossing depth of the series.

Set during the American Civil War period, the movie is the first installment in a 4 part film series that premiered in the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

Paramount Global and Charter Communications announced that they reached a new multiyear distribution deal covering Paramount’s full portfolio of linear cable TV networks, CBS owned stations — and will for the first time include Paramount+ and BET+ streaming services.
The two companies’ previous carriage pact expired April 30. The parties temporarily extended that while they hashed out a new agreement, thereby avoiding a blackout of Paramount’s networks on Charter, currently the U.S.’s largest pay-tv provider.
Financial terms weren’t disclosed. The deal will keep CBS and cable channels including BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and Paramount Network — home to hit series “Yellowstone” — on Charter’s Spectrum TV service. The renewal also covers the premium linear TV service Paramount+ With Showtime (which confusingly has the same name as the direct-to-consumer streamer).
