February came like a lion, that is, just a few days after the shortest month of the year, it was announced Yellowstone could come to an untimely endAnd at the height of his powers. Rumor has it that Kevin Costner’s schedule conflicts with future shoots, and the producers are considering scrapping it and creating another spin-off, this one starring Matthew McConaughey. The thing is, weeks later, there’s still no word on what’s going on in the world of Montana’s top ranchers. Maybe it’s all been much ado about nothing. That’s what one of its stars thinks.
Weekly entertainment caught up with Wes Bentley, who plays John and Kayce Dutton’s adopted son, Jamie. “The news that’s come out recently about the show is, you know, it’s above my pay grade. Different people making decisions,” he told the publication. “I know that they’re still working to… work things out with everyone, to make sure we’re shooting. And I’m confident that we will. We’ve always got ahead. I think it’s probably a drama for nothing.
Throughout the turmoil, Paramount repeatedly claimed there was “nothing to report”, adding, cryptically, “Kevin Costner is a big part of Yellowstone and we hope that will be the case for a long time. Meanwhile, when Costner delivered his Golden Globe acceptance speech late, he didn’t even hint at the rumors. Either way, your parents are surely hoping that the guy from american beauty is correct.
