(CNN) — Kevin Costner’s attorney has denied the actor complicated things on the set of his hit Paramount show Yellowstone.
In a story published Tuesday by Puck, attorney Marty Singer dismissed a report that Costner cut the amount of time he was willing to film the series in Montana.
“The notion that Kevin only wanted to work a week in the second half of Yellowstone Season 5 is an absolute lie,” Singer told Puck. “It’s ridiculous and you shouldn’t believe anyone who suggests it for a second.”
The story follows a Deadline report earlier this month that Costner, who plays patriarch John Dutton on the series, may be leaving the series due to issues surrounding “disagreements over filming schedules.”
“We have no news to report,” Paramount said in a statement to CNN at the time.
“Kevin Costner is a big part of Yellowstone and we hope he will be for a long time to come,” the statement added. “Thanks to the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan, we’re constantly working on franchise expansions to this incredible world he built. Matthew McConaughey is a phenomenal talent that we’d love to work with.”
Deadline reported that Sheridan, the series’ co-creator and producer, is working with Paramount to potentially complete the series in its current form and start a franchise that would continue the Dutton family story and potentially star Matthew McConaughey.
According to Puck’s new story, “For Season 5, which was originally intended to be 10 episodes but expanded to 16 episodes to be filmed in two parts, 5A and 5B, Costner had negotiated short filming windows.” Making production of the series difficult as it relies on outdoor shooting at the shooting range.
“As anyone who knows anything about Kevin knows, he is incredibly passionate about the show and has always done everything to ensure its success,” Singer told Puck.
“As we’ve said before, Kevin has been a key component in the success of our Yellowstone series and we look forward to continuing to see him in the future,” said a Paramount spokesperson.
CNN has reached out to representatives from Costner and Paramount for comment.
