According to a report by Puck, there are talks surrounding Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser and Luke Grimes returning to their roles in the new spinoff. Moreover, the three actors are believed to be seeking bigger per-episode payments, which could be stalling plans to get the new show into production. Puck states:

Reilly, in particular, initially asked for a whopping $1.5 million an episode, according to two sources, at or above the very top tier of TV stars, though in recent communications that number has come down to $1.2 million an episode.

Puck adds, “Hauser, I’m told, had asked for $1.25 million an episode, up from the $700,000 an episode he currently makes.”

Meanwhile, there is no news so far on what Grimes could be demanding.

Meanwhile, Matthew McConaughey is still the top star to lead. However, Puck states that reports of the actor’s commitment to the job are being overstated. They write, “He won’t sign on until he sees a script, which hasn’t happened yet, per his agent.”

However, producers are “much closer” on Michelle Pfeiffer, who is reportedly in negotiations for the female lead on the show. Meanwhile, neither McConaughey nor Pfeiffer have signed official deals, but are said to be getting close. They will either “close a deal, or walk away” in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, fans can look forward to part 2 of season 5 of Yellowstone this coming November. Moreover, more spinoffs are coming following the prequels 1883 and 1823, with series titled 1944 and 2024 in the works.
