‘Yellowstone’ Stars Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, Luke Grimes May Turn Down Spin-Off Over Pay Dispute: Report
Yellowstone‘s stars certainly understand the show’s hype, and are using it to their benefit in salary negotiations.
A recent report from Puck revealed that Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, and Luke Grimes are in talks to return for the show’s latest spin-off, per TVLine. According to Puck, Reilly and Hauser are vying for significant pay increases if they are to come back for the spin-off.
Reilly, who stars as Beth Dutton on Taylor Sheridan‘s hit western series, originally requested $1.5 million per episode, but “in recent communications that number has come down to $1.2 million an episode.” Meanwhile, Hauser, who plays Dutton’s love interest, Rip Wheeler, originally requested $1.25 million per episode.
Grimes is reportedly more lax about a raise than his two co-stars, and no further information about his pay conditions was included in the Puck report.
