The original plans for Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone included a storyline extending to at least Season 6, with Kevin Costner negotiating his return. However, negotiations fell through, leading to Costner’s departure from the series. The show’s potential continuation would have introduced a long-lost Dutton brother, portrayed by Christian rocker Cory Asbury.

Asbury expressed his disappointment at the cancellation, having been enthusiastic about the role. Despite the main series’ conclusion, a spinoff series starring Matthew McConaughey is in the works.

However, the cancellation of the original series has left some feeling that the spinoff is a substitute for the untold potential of the main storyline.

The news of the spinoff has been met with mixed emotions, with some expressing a desire to see the original story’s continuation.
