**’Yellowstone’ Star Cole Hauser Reveals Creator Taylor Sheridan’s Plans for the Series**
*Yellowstone*, the immensely popular modern Western drama, continues to captivate audiences with its portrayal of the Dutton family’s trials and triumphs. While the show’s future beyond its current fifth season remains officially unconfirmed, Cole Hauser, who plays the rugged Rip Wheeler, has given fans a glimpse into what lies ahead.
### A Glimpse into the Future of *Yellowstone*
At the 2023 Golden Globes, Hauser shared exciting news about the series’ future. Despite the show currently being on hiatus, Hauser revealed that *Yellowstone* has been greenlit for two more seasons. “I can tell you there will be a sixth season and a seventh season,” Hauser told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet. “That’s all I can say. That’s all I can tell you.” When pressed for additional details, Hauser remained tight-lipped, with his wife, Cynthia Daniel, humorously adding that she, too, is in the dark about the specifics of what’s to come.
### Current Status and Success of *Yellowstone*
As of now, the series is on a mid-season break and is expected to resume in the summer. Hauser confirmed that season five has wrapped up filming and praised the show’s setting, saying, “I work in the best office in the world. It’s Montana.” He continued to highlight the quality of the show, noting the exceptional writing, talented actors, and a fantastic crew involved in bringing the series to life.
The fifth season of *Yellowstone* has been marked by notable milestones. It aired its mid-season finale on New Year’s Day, with the second half of the season set to return in the summer. Additionally, *Yellowstone* made headlines at the Golden Globes, where lead actor Kevin Costner won the award for Best Actor in a Drama Series. This win marked the series’ first major awards recognition, despite its consistent record-breaking viewership.
### Ratings and Awards
Despite its impressive ratings and dedicated fanbase, *Yellowstone* has often been overlooked during awards seasons in the past few years. According to Nielsen, the season five premiere was the most-watched show across all television in 2022, with each episode attracting around 13 million viewers. Although Costner could not attend the ceremony due to weather conditions in Santa Barbara, California, where he resides, he expressed his gratitude on Instagram following his win.
In his post, Costner thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press and the Golden Globes for the honor, as well as the entire *Yellowstone* team for their efforts in bringing John Dutton’s world to life. He acknowledged the incredible support from co-stars, producers, and crew, and extended special thanks to the fans who have embraced the show as if it were their own.
