As Yellowstone concludes, Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan, key figures behind the series, appear to be moving in different directions in the Western genre, setting the stage for potential competition.
Costner, known for his role as John Dutton, has sparked a career resurgence with Yellowstone, but his focus is now on his self-funded project, the Horizon films. Sheridan, the show’s creator, has several Yellowstone spin-offs in the works.
Controversies surrounding Yellowstone’s fifth season, including issues involving Costner and Sheridan, have added to the uncertainty. Costner’s potential absence in the show’s final season highlights his shifting priorities towards Horizon, creating a competitive landscape in the Western genre as both Costner and Sheridan pursue separate projects.
