Yellowstone Season 6 may (or may not) be in the works, but one thing is clear: Cole Hauser really wants to come back.

During the once-neverending wait for Season 5 Part 2’s release date, the Yellowstone fandom was dealt two massive blows: Kevin Costner has

left the series for good, and the upcoming episodes will bring the hit series to a close.

Or so we thought. The franchise is expanding, with plans in place for 1923 Season 2, 6666, 1944, and a new spinoff series titled The Madison, but Yellowstone Season 6 may still be on the table.

In August this year, Variety reported that Yellowstone cast members Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser were in talks to return as Beth and Rip. It’s unclear if it’d be the final season or part of an ongoing commitment to the flagship series.

This also came after Puck News reported that Reilly, Hauser, and Luke Grimes (Kayce Dutton) had joined the ensemble of the Madison series (it seems like there may have been some crossed wires with their Season 6 negotiations).

In a new interview with Fox News, Hauser addressed the chance of another season. In short, he doesn’t know if it’s going ahead, but he’ll be happy if it does.

“I can’t comment right now, but I mean, listen, in a perfect world, I think it would be amazing to see this thing go on, but there’s a lot of different people involved in that decision,” he said.

“I’m a hired gun. I ain’t a producer, I ain’t the studio head, just a hired gun. But I hope so. I hope it really happens because it would be fun.”
