Matthew McConaughey is set to star in a Yellowstone spin-off, confirmed by Paramount Network's Chris McCarthy. It will move forward regardless of whether Kevin Costner returns to the original series, which has reportedly ended after five seasons and will be replaced with a sequel series. While previous reports suggested the spin-off would feature the same cast as Yellowstone, creator Taylor Sheridan has hinted that it may rely on an entirely new cast and location. Costner's alleged scheduling conflicts during the filming of season 5 could potentially cause him to leave the series, but there are ongoing conversations to try to convince him to film a few scenes to wrap up his character.
