Overview
- Chad Feehan, the creator and Season 1 showrunner, will not return if the series is renewed, a development multiple outlets confirmed Friday, three weeks before the May 15 debut.
- Puck reported he clashed on set with stars and executive producers Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, and that Taylor Sheridan and 101 Studios chief David Glasser were unhappy with how he ran production.
- Paramount declined to comment, and Puck said the company is confident in the finished show, with concerns focused on production management rather than the scripts.
- Season 1 is complete with nine episodes and will launch with two episodes on Paramount+ and Paramount Network before moving to weekly releases.
- Trade coverage indicates producers plan to elevate a Season 1 writer to run any second season, while Sheridan remains an executive producer without day-to-day control on this series.
