Yellowstone: 5 seasons were born, but the initial idea was completely different!

What if the five seasons of Yellowstone did not appear? Today, the series carried out by Kevin Costner has been updated on Western television. Two predecessors were also created – 1883 and 1923 – and at least four produced series.

But at first, the series should take the form of a feature film. It was the intention of Taylor Sheridan, the co-creator of the program, and then only the films he wrote (Sikario and Komcheria) and was made (the river of the wind). The latter had an ambition to offer a story written in the godfather’s vein, but in the American West.

No one wanted to produce Yellowstone

They could not find a studio that is ready to invest in the modern West, Sheridan returned to TV channels. Everyone has refused the project except the paramount Channel – then a small cable channel with a confidential audience. But even at that time, the script author did not think beyond one season.

It was Kevin Costner, who revealed that his presence in the casting allowed other seasons of Yellowstone to see the light of the day. “The series has been set up and should not last for more than a season. Much of it was held thanks to me and my agreement. I had to make a fundamental decision”He has revealed In the interview.

Ironically, if he allowed the last five seasons of Yellowstone, the American actor also decided to leave the program. However, this bad start of many fans did not affect the popularity of Yellowstone, the latest episodes of which signed records in the historical audience.

You can see the five seasons of the Yellowstone now on Paramount+.
