Yellowstone started as a family-focused drama about the Duttons trying to find a way to make it in the ranching business. In its five-season run, it has veered wildly off-course — making the ups and downs of securing a family legacy the problem of literally an entire nation. With the recent news that prolific co-creator Taylor Sheridan and Paramount Network are considering closing the book on Yellowstone due to issues with Kevin Costner’s schedule, it’s hard to avoid thinking that perhaps this Western outlived its welcome.

Following the Season 5 midseason finale, Yellowstone fans have been eagerly anticipating the final six episodes slated to air in Summer 2023. Costner’s character John Dutton will have to contend with the impeachment his son Jamie called for so that he can keep the political power necessary to protect his ranch. Though there are still questions that want answers, the political plot of Season 5 has stretched the narrative limits of Yellowstone beyond repair.

Given the inflated stakes of Season 5, the impending end of Yellowstone feels like it offers the series an escape hatch. As the Duttons continue on their mission, most have become less and less sympathetic. John’s more of a villain than ever, his loyal right-hand man Rip Wheeler has little in the way of a character arc and even the once-strong Monica Long Dutton has been reduced to a grieving mother. Beth Dutton, always the wild card of the family, lashes out in increasingly unpredictable ways. Audiences were once invested in ensuring a continued Dutton legacy on the Yellowstone ranch, but now the best thing the family could do in Season 5 is to cut their losses.

Of course, the end of Yellowstone doesn’t mean the end of the Duttons. The prequel series 1923 has been renewed for a second season, and additional properties on the horizon will expand the Yellowstone universe to other states and decades. The difficulties with scheduling Costner gives the series a chance to raze the field and start afresh with new actors, different characters and a renewed sense of what fans want.

The second half of Yellowstone Season 5 arrives in Summer 2023 on Paramount Network.

Kevin Costner’s Yellowstone will be coming to an end and the actor’s future with the show is up in the air, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Earlier today, Deadline broke the story, Paramount + and Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan have come up with a plan to end Yellowstone.

The parties have decided to launch a Matthew McConaughey-lead spin-off which will continue with the majority of the cast.

Sources revealed that Costner has been refusing to commit to a lengthy shooting schedule. Deadline said that Costner originally had agreed to 65 days of shooting for the show. However, for the first part of the current season he only wanted to commit to 50 days.

Things got worse when it came time to plan the second batch of episodes for the current, firth season. An insider told the outlet that Costner asked to only shoot a week.

Costner has been pulled in several directions from his family and team. The actor has been busy filming a big-budget western Horizon for Warner Bros, which he co-wrote.

Another source told RadarOnline.com that Costner’s wife Christine Baumgartner has been begging him to leave Yellowstone to spend more time at home.

“It’s really knocked a hole in their family life,” said a source. “The show is such a mega-hit, producers want it to go on forever! However, Christine wants her husband to hang up his cowboy hat, with an insider saying her patience is starting to fray.

“She wants a firm commitment this is his last season — or he might have to hit the dusty trail!” an insider claimed last year.

At the same time, an insider said, “It’s no secret that Kevin’s been getting itchy feet, but he’s not saying either way if he’s in or out. It’s driving cast and crew alike crazy!”

A rep for the network told the outlet,“We have no news to report. Kevin Costner is a big part of Yellowstone and we hope that’s the case for a long time to come. Thanks to the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan, we are always working on franchise expansions of this incredible world he has built. Matthew McConaughey is a phenomenal talent with whom we’d love to partner.”

The White Lotus fans, if you’re wondering if there will be a season 3, the HBO Max show is officially coming back with new episodes after a very dramatic season 2 ending. While we know some characters may not be returning, creator Mike White already has a vision for what is to come for the fictional hotel chain and the guests who stay in its luxury resorts.

“The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex,” he told Variety in December. “I think the third season would be maybe a satirical and funny look at death and Eastern religion and spirituality. It feels like it could be a rich tapestry to do another round at White Lotus.”

Mike may not be showing his cards about what exactly this means, viewers are eager to hear more about what could potentially be in store for future seasons. Since season 2 is signed, sealed and delivered, here’s what we know so far about season 3 of The White Lotus, including release date, cast, spoilers and more:

In mid-November, it was announced that the popular drama was renewed for season 3. Francesca Orsi, the executive vice president of HBO Programming and head of HBO drama series and films, revealed the news to Variety with words of excitement about the next chapter.

“Reflecting on The White Lotus’ humble, run-and-gun origin as a contained pandemic production, it’s impossible not to be awestruck by how Mike orchestrated one of the buzziest and most critically acclaimed shows,” she said to the outlet. “And yet, he’s only continued to reach new heights in season 2, which is the ultimate testament to Mike’s raw, unparalleled vision.”

Francesca continued: “His courage to explore the uncharted waters of the human psyche, paired with his signature irreverent humor and buoyant directing style, have us all dreaming of more vacation days at the resort we’ve come to adore. We couldn’t be more thrilled to get the chance to collaborate on a third season together.”

A post shared by The White Lotus (@thewhitelotus)

The show’s official Instagram further confirmed the season 3 renewal with a teaser video that looked akin to a hotel commercial seen on TV. “At #TheWhiteLotus, we manifest the things our guests desire into existence. We can’t wait to welcome you to our next White Lotus property,” the clip was captioned on November 18.

Who is in The White Lotus season 3 cast?

At the moment, this is yet to be determined. While the show could potentially change characters (like it did for season 2), there are no official details about who will come back to the famed hotel chain.

While it’s unlikely Jennifer Coolidge will return to The White Lotus after her character’s untimely death, Mike has floated the idea around about having another season 1 actress potentially come back into the fold.

“[Mike] wanted me to be in the second season, and there was an idea that I loved for the character,” Connie Britton told Deadline in July. “Our intention is to do it in the third season. A piece of casting didn’t work in the second season and we’re hoping to [do] that in the third season. I would love to see a spinoff on every character in that show.”

When speaking to Esquire, Mike also teased that Michael Imperioli could possibly rejoin the cast after portraying Dominic Di Grosso in season 2.

“Who knows, maybe there’ll be another White Lotus season where Dominic comes with his wife, and they patch it all up!” he told the outlet. “I don’t want to think about it too much… because the idea of that makes me so happy. I don’t want to be disappointed… I would want nothing more than that. I just loved working with Mike so much.”

Stay tuned for more!

Good news for Dutton fans, the Yellowstone universe is getting even bigger.

In February, streaming service Paramount+ announced that, in addition to picking up the wildly popular 1883 for further episodes, they’ve also ordered a whole new chapter of the Dutton family’s history.

When does 1923 premiere?

The first episode of 1923 will debut on Paramount+ on December 18, 2022.

What is 1923 about?

Per a release, “1923 focuses on the Dutton family’s next two generations as they struggle to survive historic drought, lawlessness and prohibition, and an epidemic of cattle theft; all battled beneath the cloud of Montana’s great depression, which preceded the nation by almost a decade.”

 1923 will be a new origin story that, “Will introduce a new generation of the Dutton family and explore the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition, and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Dutton’s who call it home.”

Some big names will be heading up the cast: Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford. Ford will be playing Jacob Dutton, the brother of 1883‘s James Dutton, and Mirren will play his wife, Cara.

Also among the announced cast are James Badge Dale, who will play John Dutton Sr. (the character appeared as a child on 1883), as well as Marley Shelton, playing his wife, Emma Dutton, Darren Mann as Jack Dutton, their son, and Brandon Sklenar, who will play Spencer Dutton, John’s brother.
