As a gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in the world of TV shows and their behind-the-scenes drama, I can’t help but feel a sense of deja vu with Yellowstone‘s current situation. It seems like a familiar storyline from my favorite soap operas, where egos clash, relationships fray, and the fate of beloved characters hangs in the balance.
As the final episodes of Yellowstone approach their 2024 TV airdate, everyone involved is working tirelessly to ensure that the second half of Season 5 meets high expectations for viewers eagerly awaiting this experience after a two-year wait. Notably absent during filming is Kevin Costner, who reportedly harbors doubts about the success of the western drama without his “genius” being part of it.
Costner’s heartfelt dedication towards his sprawling frontier series, titled “Horizon: An American Saga“, played a significant role in his choice to depart from the production delays of “Yellowstone“. Although he had hinted at the possibility of returning if welcomed back, such an invitation never materialized. Currently, it seems like the actor from “Field of Dreams” is hesitant about the mothership successfully executing future spinoffs without him present.
According to sources, Kevin Costner’s reportedly tough relationship with his co-creator Taylor Sheridan has led to some people feeling a bit of schadenfreude, with one insider stating that Costner wouldn’t mind if the Paramount Network show faced difficulties as it nears its end.
Watching them stumble and fail while trying to revive the show he considers as his own, gives him immense private gratification – a sense of quiet triumph, knowing it’s not their project but his.
The upcoming return of “Yellowstone” in November leaves us wondering what sort of new dynamics will unfold, and there are several other questions lingering about the remaining episodes. However, one thing is certain: the show must address why Kevin Costner’s character, John Dutton, seems to be absent from his family and ranch. While it might seem logical for the writers to write off the character, doing so could potentially stir up an uproar among fans.
As reported by an inside source, the veteran from Bull Durham expresses little faith that Yellowstone’s creative team can successfully pull off their project without his guidance and skills. To quote the media outlet, “He doubts they can stick the landing without his own insights and experience.”
By the close of the day, Kevin believes the managers at Yellowstone are acting in a frenzied and misguided manner, almost like chickens lacking heads. Essentially, he contends that without his brilliance, even in a consultancy role, the project may not succeed, regardless of how self-centered this assertion might appear.
“The phrase ‘delusional headless chickens’ seems like something you’d encounter in a horror movie set in Paradise Valley, and it’s quite severe for someone, especially a former series star, to express such negative feelings about their past employers and coworkers. Although insider opinions should always be approached with caution, Costner hasn’t exactly been vocal about praising Taylor Sheridan over the last 18 months or so since the controversy erupted.”
Despite Kevin Costner’s announcement that he wouldn’t return for the final episodes of Yellowstone, some fans clung to hope that he might change his mind when cooler heads prevailed. However, with Kelly Reilly confirming she has completed filming in Montana and is now set to shoot scenes at the 6666 ranch in Texas, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to deny John Dutton’s absence from the show.
Will the turmoil and prolonged absence of “Yellowstone”‘s BTS significantly impact the show’s phenomenal TV and streaming popularity? Given that a spin-off series featuring Michelle Pfeiffer and Patrick J. Adams has already been announced, it appears that viewers will continue to eagerly watch as they unravel the final chapters.
On Sundays starting from November 10th, 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Yellowstone will air its remaining Season 5 episodes on Paramount Network. If you’d like to catch up before that, you can stream all the current episodes with a Peacock subscription.
