“We are always working on franchise expansions”: Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone Universe Grows, Matthew McConaughey in Talks!
As reported by Deadline, it was this very month last year when the wild rumor hit the ranch that Taylor Sheridan, the brains behind TV's top-rated Western drama "Yellowstone," was considering roping in none other than Matthew McConaughey for the next season.
Swapping Stars – The Wild West's New Frontier
In what could be called a star-studded switcheroo, Sheridan's eyes were set on ending the series with its then-current crop of stars, including the towering Kevin Costner, and moving onto a McConaughey-led season six. As reported by Deadline, this move was fueled by scheduling issues, but many were left to wonder what would become of the beloved Dutton family.

"Matthew McConaughey is a phenomenal talent with whom we'd love to partner," said a Paramount Network spokesperson, sparking rumors like fire in dry prairie grass.
The Taylor Sheridan Universe – A Wild Ride
Taylor Sheridan's sprawling Western universe isn't just limited to "Yellowstone." The man has been as busy as a one-legged cowboy in a boot-kicking contest, having created "1883" and "1923" and even teasing more series set in the 1940s and 1960s. Throw in contemporary Westerns like "6666" and "Tulsa King," and you've got yourself a rodeo.
It seemed as if McConaughey would join this grand world, and as one could rightly put it, "Who could blame him?"
The Legacy of Kevin Costner's John Dutton
Costner's portrayal of John Dutton had been the anchor of "Yellowstone," attracting fans and trouble alike. With the franchise's expansion, the question on every fan's lips was: Would the McConaughey-led series be set on the Dutton ranch, or would they be blazing a new trail somewhere else?
