Another week, another round of Yellowstone drama. A recent report from Puck revealed that two key cast members, Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, are embroiled in pay disputes over their potential involvement in the show’s high-profile spinoff (rumored to star Matthew McConaughey and Michelle Pfeiffer, but nothing’s confirmed).
Classic Yellowstone.
If you’re looking for something to stream while you wait to return to the ranch, Decider recommends something old (the 2012 series Longmire, which is streaming on Netflix and Peacock), Something Borrowed (the Ginnifer Goodwin-led 2011 romcom), and something new (Mr. & Mrs. Smith on Prime Video). And if you’re looking for a movie to watch on Valentine’s Day, don’t sleep on the Jack Quaid/Maya Erskine 2019 film Plus One (now on Netflix).
As for Yellowstone, well partner, here’s the latest news about the show’s return.
Is Yellowstone on Paramount Network or CBS Tonight (2/11/24)?
Nope. Paramount Network is airing a marathon of Bar Rescue. Seasons 1-3 of Yellowstone previously aired on CBS on Sunday nights, but that won’t be the case tonight because the network is airing, let me check my notes, the Super Bowl!
When Does Yellowstone Return With New Season 5 Episodes?
Back in November, Paramount Network announced that Yellowstone will return for the second half of Season 5 in November 2024. The network also revealed that two new Yellowstone spinoffs — currently titled 1944 and 2024 — are in the works.
No plot details for 1944 or 2024 were announced, but Variety reports that 2024 is expected to begin airing following the conclusion of Yellowstone, with the show featuring “new cast members and locations with some crossover characters as well.” This is the series that would most likely include Matthew McConaughey, who’s been rumored to star in a Yellowstone spinoff since April 2023.
Is Kevin Costner Leaving Yellowstone?
Production on the final episodes of the fifth and final season will reportedly begin in late spring 2024, but Costner’s level of involvement in the remaining installments is still unclear. The actor revealed in a September court trial that he was initially offered $24 million to do Seasons 5, 6, and 7 of Yellowstone but there were “issues with creative.”
Per Deadline, another source of contention centered around the star’s shooting schedule. Costner reportedly wanted more time to spend on his upcoming multi-part Western movie Horizon: An American Saga, a film in which he starred, directed, co-wrote, and produced.
The situation remains in flux — Costner said in September that he’ll “probably go to court” over his Yellowstone exit — so it’s safe to say that he almost certainly won’t be involved in future spinoffs.
