Hit Series Popular Among Conservatives Set to End After Current Season: Report

A source close to Paramount’s smash hit Western “Yellowstone” claims the TV drama will end after its fifth and current season amid an ego dispute between actor Kevin Costner and showrunner Taylor Sheridan.

The New York Post spoke to multiple people close to the show, and its stars and reported “Yellowstone” will come to an abrupt conclusion after the second half of this season.

Season Five debuted eight episodes beginning last November and has been on its midseason break since January. But the remaining six episodes have not yet been filmed.

One source told the Post scheduling is behind in part due to friction between Costner and Sheridan.

“It’s the same as with any showrunner and big star — there’s respect, but there’s friction,” the person said.

Per someone close to Sheridan, the 52-year-old is feeling egotistic after having experienced success later in his career.

The Post also spoke to someone described as a “highly-placed 🎬Hollywood source” close to Sheridan and reported “there is an element of ego at play” in the show’s reported coming demise.

“Taylor is the star of his show,” the source said. “He’s the most important person on all of his shows.”
