A new rumor claims that Kurt Russell will be the latest A-lister to join the ‘Yellowstone-verse,’ in a present-day spinoff of Taylor Sheridan’s Neo-western megahit.
Kurt Russell is the latest Hollywood A-lister to be the subject of Yellowstone rumors. A report has emerged claiming the Tombstone star will be leading a new, present-day spinoff in Taylor Sheridan’s ever-expanding Yellowstone-verse on Paramount+. Is there any truth to the claim?
Is Kurt Russell leading a new ‘Yellowstone’ spinoff?
A new report from Giant Freakin Robot is claiming that Kurt Russell has signed on as the lead of yet another Yellowstone spinoff that will be set in the present day. However, this isn’t the already-in-development 6666 spinoff set at the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas. Instead, Russell’s rumored series is assumed to be “an offshoot of the existing mainline Yellowstone story.”
This has not been confirmed by anyone at Paramount, but it does build on another report from Deadline that claims Kevin Costner (John Dutton) is on his way out of the flagship series. The Russell rumor is connected to the report that Costner will be exiting Yellowstone at the end of season 5 to make way for a new lead — Matthew McConaughey.
