Yellowstone is not getting a Season 6 due to a conflict between Costner and the Yellowstone team, including creator Taylor Sheridan.
Already requested for less screen time during part one. Although this request did not come to fruition, Costner’s John Dutton character is also the show’s main protagonist.
It seems that Costner was unhappy with these decisions, and it seems that he had already had a leg removed. However, it was later revealed that Costner wanted to return for season 6.
They later broke up and during their divorce proceedings. I can not help them anymore, then actor said, People reported.
We tried to negotiate, they offered me less money than last season, there were some problems with the creation... we settled on a number, and they left.
The scheduling conflict and Costner's eventual departure were further complicated by the fact that SAG-AFTRA and the WGA went on strike, so even if Costner and the team behind the show came to an agreement.
Although it does seem that Dutton’s story needs to be brought to a close, at least briefly,. He has another morals clause in his contract that says
It doesn't change it, but it shortens it..."I don't do pointless car crashes," Sheridan told The Hollywood Reporter.
