Popular Western drama Yellowstone is in quite the pickle at the moment.

Kevin Costner is said to be having scheduling conflicts, which is a major problem considering he plays the head of the show's main family The Duttons.

But don't worry, fans! Because Matthew McConaughey is here to rescue us all!

Alright, alright alright.

The Interstellar star is in talks to come onboard the franchise in the lead role of a brand new spin-off. Whilst nothing has been confirmed yet, there's enough buzz around this story to get fans of Stetsons and horse wrangling very excited.

Yellowstone has already churned out its fair share of spin-offs. Prequel series 1883 and 1923 have both gone down well and attracted big names Sam Elliott, Helen Mirren, and Harrison Ford.

There also about seven hundred other spin-offs in the works, as Paramount+ look to mine this series for everything it's worth.

Where McConaughey will fit into this sprawling network of shows is currently unclear, but you can rest assured he'll do a fine job. Come on, have you ever heard or seen him? This guy was born to play a cowboy.
