Season 5 of Yellowstone became the center of major controversy, marking the final episodes for Kevin Costner’s character, who had been the cornerstone of the series.
It was revealed that the actor had disagreements with the show’s creators, but this hasn’t stopped them from planning a sixth season.
Kevin Costner’s Conflict with Yellowstone Creators
Costner claimed that the showrunners consistently disrupted the filming schedule for the new season, preventing him from dedicating time to his other projects, including his ambitious franchise Horizon.
Initially, Costner intended to stay on Yellowstone through at least its seventh season. However, constant rewrites and scheduling changes caused significant delays. In the end, the actor told the creators that he could only commit to one week of filming, which led to a major fallout between Costner, the writers, and the producers.
What to Expect in Season 6
The upcoming episodes will shift the focus to John Dutton’s daughter, Beth, as a central character. Alongside her, ranch foreman Rip is expected to have an expanded role.
In the Season 5 finale, John Dutton’s character was killed, and Beth suspected Jamie was responsible. This sets up a potential storyline for Season 6, where Beth is consumed by her desire for revenge for her father’s death.
