MISSOULA — The hit TV show “Yellowstone” returns to downtown Missoula this week to film season 5.
The production is quite large, bringing dozens of support trucks to town along with people from around the world. Production crews who spoke to MTN said they came from LA, Georgia, the UK, and even locals from Butte.
The entire production has been shrouded in secrecy, with much of the crew not knowing the details of the shoots until shortly before they took place.
However, the production hasn’t brought excitement to some local businesses. Several told MTN that they haven’t seen an increase in business due to the large amount of parking taken up by the production, which has reduced foot traffic in the area.
Despite this, a recent study from UM’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research showed that in just one year, the show brought more than $730 million in spending to the state.
“Yellowstone” stars Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, and Cole Hauser. It is rumored that Costner will not be returning for the final season.
