Yellowstone was anticipated to return with new occurrences in summer 2023, but Paramount and a representative for Costner didn't incontinently respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on the product status of the show or the 68- time-old Golden Globe winner's place on it.

The event — which took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood — originally promised that Sheridan, EP David Glasser, Costner, Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, Luke Grimes, Wes Bentley, Kelsey Asbille, Gil Birmingham and Jacki Weaver would all be part of the panel.
