    Sounds like both of them are not fully telling the truth, Costner seemed like he was losing interest and wanting to focus on other things but now suddenly that he may not be in it he’s taking issue…

    Sheridan and co being late having the S5 PT2 scripts makes a lot of sense, he is spread way too thin and IMO the show should have only been 3-4 seasons with now it’s going both on and off set.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Kevin Costner went on record for the first time, telling his side of the months-long dispute with the hit show Yellowstone.

    Costner testified at his divorce hearing on Friday, and the conversation dug into his finances from the Paramount Network series which has grown to become the most-watched drama on television.

    “My last conversation with Kevin was that he had this passion project he wanted to direct,” said Sheridan, who is currently pencils-down to support the WGA strike.

    “His creation of John Dutton is symbolic and powerful … and I’ve never had an issue with Kevin that he and I couldn’t work out on the phone.

    But once lawyers get involved, then people don’t get to talk to each other and start saying things that aren’t true and attempt to shift blame based on how the press or public seem to be reacting.

    Sheridan hinted that John Dutton was never going to be around for the very end of the show, and that the conclusion of Yellowstone is unchanged from his original movie script.

    I stopped watching when the show became woke, and they were murdering people off the ranch. It’s just overblown and very unbelievable.

    Sounds like Costerner hasn’t changed much.

      What does “woke” mean in this context or any other for that matter? Something you don’t like?

          Anything trying to push a narrative in a subtle or not so subtle way. Pushing an idealogy you fucktards. The fact that you don’t understand this means you’re also pushing the idealogy as the target audience.

          But sure dumb it down to “anything I don’t like” because you’re too fucking dense to understand its context.
