MISSOULA — The hit TV show “Yellowstone” is set to film season 5 in downtown Missoula this week.
The production is massive, with numerous support trucks arriving in town along with people from various locations worldwide. Production crews from LA, Georgia, the UK, and even locals from Butte are involved.
The entire production has been shrouded in secrecy, keeping most of the crew in the dark about the exact locations and timings of the shoots until shortly before they happen.
Despite the excitement, some local businesses are not benefiting from the influx of people. Many have noted a lack of increase in business due to parking spaces being occupied, leading to reduced foot traffic in the area.
However, a recent study from UM’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research revealed that the show generated over $730 million in spending for the state in just one year.
“Yellowstone” features stars like Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, and Cole Hauser. Rumors suggest that Costner may not return for the final season.
