After a substantial delay, production on the final season of Yellowstone

is set to resume this summer, and it seems that we may be getting slightly

more than anticipated. Josh Lucas, who plays the younger John Dutton

(played by Kevin Costner) in flashback scenes, has revealed that there could be more episodes than first planned for the final part of the Dutton family saga. Lucas has previously spoken of his desire to continue playing John Dutton in his own spin-off.Speaking to Deadline while doing interviews on the red carpet, as he was attending the premiere of Apple TV+’s Palm Royale, Lucas gave a brief update on the status of the series. The actor noted that he expects he will be saddling up once more as young John Dutton for Season 5, Part 2, following communications with the series creator Taylor Sheridan. He said:

“I did text Taylor [Sheridan, co-creator] a couple of months back and said, ‘Hey man, I’ve loved working on the show so much’. He’s like, ‘well we’ll be back’. I think we’re going to do ten or so more episodes and wrap up the story.”
