Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Final Release Date And Time Check
Kevin Costner recently unveiled the first look at his upcoming multipart western Horizon: An American Saga. However, for most Yellowstone fans, the only saga they want is a conclusion to the Dutton family’s story and a glimpse of what happens next. Costner reinvigorated his career by headlining Yellowstone as John Dutton, but his conflicts with Paramount Network and showrunner Taylor Sheridan have put Costner’s future with the franchise into question.
Although we’re still months away from the series’ return, we’re sharing everything we know about Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2. And we will keep updating this post whenever something new comes.
Will Kevin Costner Return for Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2
For now, it is unknown. Despite the reported feud with Sheridan, Costner is expected to reprise his role as the patriarch of the Dutton family in Yellowstone. Matthew Belloni of Puck News reported in March 2024 that Costner was telling People that he would return in some capacity, perhaps as a cameo.
Kevin Costner is telling people he plans to return for at least a cameo and possibly more, but there have been no discussions at this time for him to do so,” Belloni wrote. “Even if Costner had significantly reduced the demands of his financial and time commitment, Sheridan would not have bothered to rework his finished script to accommodate the departure for John Dutton.”
To date, Costner has not spoken directly about his conflict with Sheridan and the Paramount Network. The only time Costner revealed any details was when he was in court for his divorce from Christine Baumgartner in September 2023. Via Deadline, Costner confirmed that there were some problems with his Yellowstone shooting schedule, which conflicted with his Horizon commitments. Costner also acknowledged creative differences with Sheridan and openly stated that he might go to court over his exit from the series.
However, as of March 2024, no lawsuit has been filed by Costner. It is unclear whether this means talks between the two sides will continue. If Costner files a lawsuit, we can safely say he won’t be coming back.
What Happens To John Dutton if Costner doesn’t come back
Sheridan had a very revealing quote on the topic when speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in June 2023. He said that Costner’s exit “shortens the finale of his character. It doesn’t change it, but it shortens it.” This implies that John Dutton will not survive the end of Yellowstone even if Costner reappears.
Via Screen Rant, one theory regarding Dutton’s fate is that he will die of colon cancer. During the first season, Dutton survived his first battle with that disease. If this is how John Dutton dies, it will bring his fate full circle.
Will the spinoff series serve as Yellowstone Season 6
This is the general idea that Paramount Network sold fans when Yellowstone’s ending was announced. However, a report on Puck states that the show’s three lead actors, Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Luke Grimes, are in a salary dispute with Paramount Network as they reprise their respective roles as Beth Dutton, Rip Wheeler, Want a significant salary increase. , and Kayce Dutton.
The report also suggests that those cast members will have to be paid for Yellowstone season 6 even if it will not be produced. This provision was in his contract for the last series. There is no indication yet whether a settlement has been reached between the actors and Paramount Network. If they do not re-contract with the new show, the spinoff series will lose key characters who could have been a bridge to the future of the franchise.
Which Dutton will survive Jamie or Beth
The first half of Yellowstone season 5 shows the complete deterioration of the relationship between Beth and her adoptive brother – who doubles as the black sheep of the family – Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley). Beth and Jamie even openly contemplated killing each other in a conflict that could destroy the Duttons. This is one of the big unresolved storylines coming into the second half of the season.
Note that Bentley’s name was not mentioned in Puck’s report about the Yellowstone cast asking for a pay raise for the spinoff series. If there is any truth to that story, it could mean that Jamie will not be leaving Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2. This does not mean that Jamie will die, it could also mean imprisonment or exile from his family. Right now we can only speculate.
Will Matthew McConaughey appear in Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2
If Sheridan wants to follow the established model for TV spinoffs, Matthew McConaughey’s new character from the upcoming spinoff will be introduced in Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2. The only problem with that idea is that there’s no official report that McConaughey has even signed on for it. By-product.
McConaughey’s name has been mentioned in connection with a spinoff starting in February 2023. Since that time, all Hollywood trades have simply said is that McConaughey is in talks to lead the spinoff. So it’s just talk until McConaughey actually signs on the dotted line. For now, there is no indication that he has
