Matthew McConaughey’s ‘Yellowstone’ spin-off series has been confirmed.
Matthew McConaughey is getting his own star-studded Yellowstone spin-off series, no matter the fate of series lead Kevin Costner.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter about the future of Paramount, Showtime and MTV Entertainment, President Chris McCarthy remained rather tight-lipped about what was next for one of his biggest franchises. But McCarthy did confirm one thing: the McConaughey Yellowstone spin-off is definitely still happening.
Previous reports have claimed the spin-off will include “several” of the show’s “big stars,” though the cast has not been confirmed.
Deadline reported the star was in negotiations in February, amid rumors that Yellowstone Season 5 could be the series’ last due to Costner’s scheduling conflicts.
According to the report, Costner only wanted to film the first half of the season for 50 days as opposed to the 65 he had committed to. Sources also claimed the actor only wanted to spend one week filming the second batch of episodes.
“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,” a Paramount Network spokesperson told Deadline at the time.
