The popular Western drama TV show Yellowstone is ending after season 5 due to a dispute over filming schedule with lead actor Kevin Costner.

Season 5 was split into 2 parts. Costner didn't like this because it took time away from his own movie projects.

Rumor is Costner only wanted to film for certain number of days. But show said as lead actor he was needed for more days on set.

Costner said for final season he was offered less money. After failed talks over pay and schedule, he decided to leave the show.

It's unclear if Costner will appear in second part of Season 5 to wrap up his character's story. Show creator hopes he does but not confirmed.

The gap is due to scheduling disputes. Also Hollywood strikes further delayed filming of Part 2.
