Matthew McConaughey’s Yellowstone Spinoff Is “New Chapter”, Creator Teases New Cast & Characters
Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan teases Matthew McConaughey's upcoming spinoff may include new cast and characters after the flagship show ends.
Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan has teased new cast and characters for the upcoming untitled Yellowstone spinoff starring Matthew McConaughey. The new series was announced alongside confirmation that Yellowstone season 5 will be the Western drama’s final season following Kevin Costner’s exit from the series as John Dutton. The McConaughey-led series was noted as a sequel, with some speculation that original cast members from Yellowstone will return.
However, speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Sheridan hinted at the possibility that McConaughey’s Yellowstone series would feature new cast and characters. Sheridan also implied McConaughey’s show will take place in a different location, with Yellowstone season 5 part 2 finalizing the story of Yellowstone Ranch. Check out what Sheridan had to say below:
[McConaughey] seems like a natural fit. We had a few conversations over the years, and spitballed a few ideas. Then he started watching Yellowstone and responded to it. He was like, ‘I want to do that.’ And by ‘that’ he meant diving into a raw world clashing up against the modern world. And then I said, ‘Buddy, that we can do.’My idea of a spinoff is the same as my idea of a prequel — read into that what you will.
There are lots of places where a way of life that existed for 150 years is slamming against a new way of life, but the challenges are completely different. There are a lot of places you can tell this story.
