00:00I heard that this season was so secretive, half the cast doesn't know how it's going to end.

00:04What was it like to film everything when everything was so hush-hush?

00:08You know what, yeah, it was difficult for me, partly because I felt guilty, because I did know everything.

00:12I had read, I had the scripts at my house and had read them and everything, but it was good, too.

00:17I was able to give some actors some context that was needed for them to play the scenes fully.

00:22Yeah, it's tricky. The other thing is, we have a great crew who've been with us from the beginning,

00:25and they're like family, and they're as invested in the show as we are,

00:28so they didn't get to know anything sometimes, and they wouldn't know until we shot it,

00:32which was like a mixed bag. It was sort of cool to do that, but they were part of the show,

00:37so they felt a little bit sad they didn't get to be privy even to what we were doing.

00:42Did you tell anyone? Did you have a secret keeper?

00:45No, I didn't tell anybody, not even my family. Yeah, so I'm excited for this to come out.

00:50Of course, and another big talking point for a lot of people, Kevin Costner's absence.

00:54How do you think that the audience will react to John Dutton's date?

00:58You know, it's going to be difficult. I think a lot, you know, a lot like for Jamie,

01:02whose whole focus in the world was on John Dutton, and I think at times the show feels like that,

01:07and, you know, we definitely miss him. He's a huge part of the show, and he's a great guy to have around,

01:13and wonderful to work with, and so, you know, I wish him all luck in the world, but we definitely miss him.

01:18Finally, I know some people in the past have called Yellowstone a red state show.

01:23That's something that Taylor Sheridan has disagreed with. How do you think that the show kind of bridges the gap

01:27when we're in the midst of such a political divide right now?

01:30You know, I think Taylor's done a great job of sort of dipping his toe into politics,

01:34but it doesn't quite feel like our modern era. It doesn't quite feel connected completely,

01:40so in a way we're able to step away from it as well. It feels like everybody's interested in this show

01:46in some way or another. It's speaking to everybody, so I have a hard time calling a red state show for

01:50that reason, too. I know it's rural. I know it's in a red state, but I think that just, it's too

01:55simplified. You know, it's much more complex and much more about people than it is about politics.

02:01Finally, should we hold out hope for a season six?

02:03I think, you know, it's modern TV. Hold out hope and it may come to you. Who knows?
