Kevin Costner appears to be gearing up for another legal battle, this time involving the money he is owed from his work on the hit series “Yellowstone.” During his ongoing dispute over child support payments with his estranged wife Christine Baumgartner, Costner hinted at the possibility of a court showdown. Despite ultimately winning his case over monthly payments, Costner delved into the drama surrounding “Yellowstone” season five.
One of Costner’s main concerns seemed to be the timing of filming for “Yellowstone,” as he wanted to focus on his latest project, “Horizon.” With the first movie in the four-part saga currently in post-production, Costner emphasized the critical nature of this stage. He expressed his frustration with the decision to change the filming process for “Yellowstone” and how it affected his plans for “Horizon.” Costner intended to complete his film before continuing with “Yellowstone,” but the show’s alterations disrupted his schedule.
Costner also revealed that he had been offered a staggering $24 million to work on seasons five, six, and seven of “Yellowstone.” However, due to scheduling conflicts and the subsequent cancellation of the show, he may take his case to court to fight for the money he believes he is owed.
Throughout the legal proceedings, Paramount, the network behind “Yellowstone,” has remained silent in response to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment. Baumgartner’s lawyer, attempting to uncover the extent of Costner’s earnings from the show, questioned whether he had been offered the opportunity to continue on for season six. Although Costner admitted negotiations had occurred, he mentioned creative disagreements and acknowledged that attempts to resolve the issues had fallen through.
In May, Paramount officially announced the end of “Yellowstone” following the conclusion of its fifth season. Creator Taylor Sheridan expressed his disappointment regarding Costner’s departure, stating that it curtailed the closure of his character’s story arc. Nevertheless, season five focuses on Costner’s character navigating the challenges of being the governor of Montana and the impact this has on his ranching family. Since its debut in 2018, “Yellowstone,” led by Costner, has captivated audiences.
As a testament to its success, the Paramount+ streaming service has ordered two spin-off series, “1923” and “1883,” building on the popularity of the main show. Additionally, the network confirmed that Matthew McConaughey would star in his own spin-off series in the future.
Kevin Costner’s legal battle with “Yellowstone” has attracted significant attention, shining a spotlight on the financial aspects of his involvement in the hit series. As the legal proceedings continue, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold.
