Yellowstonehas placed itself at the top when it comes to the best Western TV shows of all time. Now having several spin-offs airing and in the works, the Western series by Taylor Sheridan is one of the best to have been created involving politics, drama, romance, and more.
Despite the impressive response and fame, the drama will be ending and Kevin Costner will be saying goodbye to his fan-favorite character of John Dutton. And so will Josh Lucas, who portrayed the young version of Dutton in the hit series. While talking about his time in the show, the actor also revealed how Sheridan turned down one request from him that would leave fans shocked.
Josh Lucas Reveals Taylor Sheridan Turned Down His One Request forYellowstone
Josh Lucashas consistently proven his mantle as an actor throughout his career, yet it is his portrayal of the young John Dutton that really knocks the ball out of the park.Starring as the younger versionofKevin Costner‘s character, Lucas is so good that fans want him to have his own spin-off series.

While the possibility of such a spin-off happening is a toss-up, Lucas is grateful for the opportunity he has gotten. In an interview withDeadline, while discussing hisYellowstonerole, Lucas remarked how he initially wanted to play a very different character but was turned down byTaylor Sheridan.
“I wanted to be in the pilot. In fact, I’ve not said this to people, I really wanted to play Rip. But he clearly wanted Cole Hauser and it was kinda cool for me because I’ve known Cole since we were like 17, 18 years old.”

While it is hard to imagine anyone else thanCole Hauserplaying Rip Wheeler, Lucas too would have been a great choice. Yet it would be equally hard to imagine anyone else portraying a young John Dutton the way Lucas did.
Will Josh Lucas Return To TheYellowstoneUniverse?
Josh Lucas had remarked back in his interview with Deadline about how Taylor Sheridan revealed to him that he will get to play a bigger role inYellowstoneseason 5. He remembers thinking that Sheridan was crazy, for back then it was hard to know that the Western drama would even make it to season 3.
“This was my answer to Game of Thrones”: Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone Wasn’t Just a Revenge Saga for His Unjust Firing, it Was His Real Attempt to Save Television
Yet here we are and the show is one of the most watched of all time and just as Sheridan had said, Lucas has a bigger presence in the last and final season of the Kevin Costner-starrer show. And in a recent interview withSiriusXM’sThe Spotlight, Lucas remarked,
“I sent him a text… because I did genuinely want to thank him for the experience, because I love being there. I love being out on those horses. I love being on that land… said, ‘You know, I really just wanna thank you for the experience,’ because I sort of had assumed it was over with based on, you know, what I think we’re all hearing and assuming… He said, ‘No, we’re gonna go back and we’re gonna finish and we’re gonna definitely rely on some flashbacks to tell the story.'”
And so while we wait andexpect Josh Lucas to return to the world ofYellowstone,the final episodes of the show might be gearing up for production soon (seeThe Hollywood Reporter).
While the last few episodes ofYellowstoneare expected to air in November 2024, the series can be streamed on Peacock.
