After more than a year and a half of delays Yellowstone (aside from the Hollywood strikes), Yellowstone resumed production this summer and has started filming the remaining episodes of the fifth season in Montana, which will return to air its second part in November of this year.
Fans have experienced this hiatus amidst uncertainty due to the behind-the-scenes conflict between Taylor Sheridan, the creator of the series, and Kevin Costner, the protagonist, which was finally resolved with the confirmation that John Dutton, the character he portrays, will not appear in the new episodes premiering this fall. Episodes that, originally, were intended to conclude the story, as announced by Paramount in May of last year.
We say originally, because what seemed official and confirmed, now appears not to be as much.
Initially, Paramount reported that Yellowstone would conclude with the second batch of episodes of season 5, and it was made public that a new series was ordered, which would be a direct sequel to the Duttons' story, with some of the original series' actors participating.
Now, Puck, the Hollywood specialized media that was the first to report on the production problems of the series, has revealed that this sequel would ultimately be a sixth season of Yellowstone.
'Yellowstone' | Promo final
Who is returning
Sources indicate that agreements are not yet finalized, but the intention is for the story to continue with the same brand beyond season 5B, which will bid farewell to its original protagonist, Kevin Costner's John Dutton.
Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser are the actors reportedly in negotiation to renew their contracts and reprise their characters in this supposed sixth season. Reilly plays Beth Dutton, John Dutton's daughter; and Hauser plays the ranch foreman Rip Wheeler, who has been under John Dutton's wing since he was a child.
Puck also recalls in its text that when the promotional video with the premiere date of the new episodes was released, there is no mention of the series' conclusion, only its return, which will be seen on November 14 in Spain, through SkyShowtime.
