According to the New York Post, Yellowstone season 5 will be the final season of the popular Paramount television program,

but production conflicts may be holding up the release of the second half of the season.

As rumors circulated that Kevin Costner, the show's star, had refused to commit to the Season 5 production schedule,

leading to significant delays, the series has been in the news. But according to sources, the ego of series creator Taylor Sheridan is to blame.

According to a production source, there is respect but also friction between any showrunner and major star.

In November 2022, the first episode of Season 5 debuted on Paramount.

But because filming and production are still ongoing, the second half has been left hanging.
