After a dispute with Kevin Costner: is “Yellowstone” now also losing other series stars?

The neo-Western epic “Yellowstone” has grown in recent years to become the current largest serial cosmos, especially in the US, and has so far had not only five seasons of the main series, but also several spin-offs, while there are even more offshoots. that are planned. One of them will be titled “2024” and will be a sequel to the main series after it ends this year following disagreements between series creator Taylor Sheridan and lead actor Kevin Costner.

Although the spinoff will miss Kevin Costner as John Dutton, Matthew McConaughey (“Interstellar”) is currently slated as a new addition and replacement, while other “Yellowstone” stars will also return to their familiar roles for “2024.” How reported, this project is now on shaky ground, because the main series’ stars in demand are part of one of the biggest points of contention between Costner and Sheridan – and that’s compensation.
