Kevin Costner’s ‘Yellowstone’ Costars ‘Cut Him Loose’ After His Fallout With Taylor Sheridan
Kevin Costner assumed his Yellowstone costars would remain close friends after he ditched the Western amid his feud with show creator Taylor Sheridan — but now the TV cowboy is feeling betrayed after being iced out by his former castmates, a source exclusively tells Life & Style.
Cole Hauser, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley and others want nothing to do with the Golden Globe winner because they blame him for the popular Paramount+ series getting canceled after five seasons, the insider says.
“He used to hear from Cole and the rest of the gang — but they’ve cut him loose in the months since he walked away from the show,” the source adds.
Kevin, 69, said so long to the drama last year after clashing with Taylor over schedules, salary and the desire for a reduced workload but his ex-colleagues still feel abandoned by their leading man’s decision to bail.
“They’re making no effort to see him and don’t get excited when he calls,” the insider says. “They’ve drifted away.”
It’s a huge change from the crew’s previous public appreciation for Kevin. Kelly called her TV dad “one of the nicest, most generous actors I’ve worked with,” and Luke referred to his career as “legendary.”
“After all that praise, you can imagine Kevin being a little hurt by their rejection. He’s getting the cold shoulder treatment. It’s a kick in the teeth!” the insider says.
Latest Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 News
After months of delays caused by the Hollywood strikes, the latest news sees the filming start window for Yellowstone season 5 part 2 teased. Ryan actor Ian Bohen revealed some key details about the show’s immediate future, saying “We will go back… rumor has it in May. This summer, and then we should be on in November, roughly. It could be June… we shoot six episodes.” At this juncture, no exact timeline has been established for the show’s final episodes.
Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Production Status
The Yellowstone season 5, part 2 release window has been revealed as November 2024, over a year after it was originally pegged to premiere (though a specific date in its November 2024 window hasn’t been disclosed). Paramount initially announced plans to release the 8-episode second part of Yellowstone season 5 in the summer of 2023, but those fell through.
Part 1 of season 5 also began airing its eight episodes in November 2022 and wrapped up in January 2023, and the break was only supposed to be for a few months. The Yellowstone season 5 part 2 filming delay caused by disputes between Kevin Costner pushed the release date back, with the WGA and then SAG-AFTRA strikes delaying the final episodes of Yellowstone even further.
