Initially set to premiere later in the 2024 TV schedule, ‘Yellowstone’ Season 5 remains in production with the sequel series still facing delays due to McConaughey’s contract negotiations. Now, according to RadarOnline, Michelle Pfeiffer is reportedly interested in joining the cast, potentially stepping into the role originally intended for McConaughey.
Despite months of speculation, McConaughey’s deal remains unsigned, reportedly due to a high per-episode salary request. As a result, producers are said to be considering Pfeiffer, who has recently gained acclaim for her roles in ‘The First Lady’ and ‘The Wizard of Lies’.
Pfeiffer’s potential involvement in the ‘Yellowstone’ franchise could bring renewed star power to the prequel series. With her experience in both blockbuster and critically acclaimed projects, she would join Kelly Reilly’s Beth Dutton as another strong female character in the family.
However, it’s important to note that this report is based on unnamed sources and has not been officially confirmed. Fans should take the news with caution until further announcements are made.
