Over the last few months, Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan have made headlines for being embroiled in a feud. Although both parties have declined to comment on the matter, sources blame the tension on Sheridan’s ego on the “Yellowstone” set. According to a report from the Daily Mail, a source revealed that “certain people in charge of production developed a God complex.” The insider also claimed that Sheridan and Costner clashed after the latter expressed concerns over the show’s direction. “Kevin will forever be proud of and grateful for Yellowstone, and the cast is like family to him,” they explained. “He just felt like Yellowstone is headed in a direction that was not in line with their initial vision.”

In addition to egos, Sheridan and Costner have reportedly clashed over scheduling and availability. Back in February, Deadline reported that Costner asked for a one-week filming schedule for the second half of “Yellowstone” Season 5 — which was reportedly not well received by the showrunner or Paramount Network. However, in a statement to The New York Post, a source hinted that Sheridan’s own tight schedule has resulted in their standoff. “Kevin’s been extremely cooperative with working with Taylor and his production company, 101 Studios,” the source revealed. “They were supposed to shoot the second chapter of Season 5 late last year, but they just didn’t have the scripts.” In addition to “Yellowstone,” Sheridan is leading other Paramount projects, including “1883,” “1923,” “Mayor of Kingstown,” and “Tulsa King.”
