“Kevin didn’t like that, and he lunged at him,” said a source in THR’s story. “No fists were thrown, but they were in each other’s faces, pushing and shoving and just getting hot until they had to be separated.”
According to one witness, Reilly was in tears. Production was briefly shut down following the scuffle.
Costner’s Yellowstone troubles continued after the Bentley fight. Costner and Sheridan, Yellowstone’s creator, engaged in a feud that spilled into the public following the first half of Season 5. Costner’s commitment to directing Horizon: An American Saga interfered with his Yellowstone obligations. After failing to compromise on a salary and filing schedule, Costner confirmed his departure from the show in June 2024.

Speaking of Horizon, Costner’s four-part Western film series has stalled. Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 opened in theaters in June 2024 to mixed reviews and a disappointing $38 million gross at the worldwide box office.
Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 2 was originally scheduled for an August 2024 release. Due to the poor returns from Chapter 1, Warner Bros. pulled Chapter 2 from its theatrical calendar. Chapter 2 does not have a release date. Chapters 3 and 4 are still in development.
