It's Official: ‘Yellowstone’ Is Getting a Spin-Off with Matthew McConaughey

Per The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount president and CEO Chris McCarthy confirmed that the Dallas Buyers Club star is "lined up to star in a Yellowstone extension," which will premiere "regardless of whether Costner returns to the original." According to the outlet, this is just one of ten projects that McCarthy has with Sheridan.

As for Kevin Costner (who plays John Dutton), his return to Yellowstone is questionable due to issues issues with the shooting schedule. Per Deadline, the actor wants to limit himself to just one week of filming for the remaining episodes of season five, which is set to premiere this summer.

At the moment, Costner is currently directing and starring in a new western project called Horizon. Deadline also reported that the network declined Costner’s limited schedule request and made the decision to move on with the proposed spinoff series.

While we're excited to see a McConaughey spinoff, we really hope the Costner series finds a way to keep on trucking too.
