The past month or so has been a hectic one for the "Yellowstone" rumor mill, thanks to reports claiming Paramount Network’s flagship western could be in danger of ending prematurely thanks to alleged disputes between Kevin Costner and producers over production schedules. It doesn’t seem like anything so drastic will actually happen, but with the back half of Season 5 still unrealized, the potential for chaos is palpable. Which means we could all use a bit of good news, and in this case, it’s coming in the form of “we live in a world where the possibility exists for Keanu Reeves to be a 'Yellowstone' guest star.”

One might have thought we were already living in that world weeks, months, or even years before now, but no. We cannot simply assume that the "Matrix" actor would be down to bring his special set of acting skills into Taylor Sheridan’s meticulously crafted world(s). But now Keanu Reeves has done the world a favor and put his interests out there, so the ball is now in Sheridan & Co’s court. Or maybe it’s not quite so serious, but still. While speaking with ET Canada about the impending release of "John Wick 4" (which has already earned excellent reviews), Reeves was asked about popping up as a small screen guest star, with Yellowstone specifically referenced.
