Lainey Wilson says she still does not know if she will return to Yellowstone.
The 31-year-old star joined the cast of the neo-Western drama series in 2022, and although she’d love to return for the next season, Lainey remains in the dark about her potential involvement.
The country singer – whose music has also featured on Yellowstone – told Entertainment Tonight on Thursday: ‘I literally still do not know, but I’m waiting on the call.’
Lainey believes the future of Yellowstone, and her own involvement, will be determined by Taylor Sherdian, the show’s co-creator, who has reportedly been at odds with the show’s star, Kevin Costner.
But the Things a Man Oughta Know hitmaker is desperate to find out whether she’ll be involved with the show moving forwards. Lainey played Abby, an aspiring country music artist and love interest for Ian Bohen’s Ryan, in the first half of season five.
This comes after Yellowstone star Luke Grimes revealed on Instagram that shooting for the second half of the fifth season will begin ‘very soon.’
Lainey also said Taylor is plenty busy.
She said: ‘He’s got so many irons in the fire – I don’t know how he does it.’
Lainey previously revealed that she expects Abby to appear in the next season of Yellowstone.
The singer-turned-actress admitted that she’d be ‘shocked’ if Abby doesn’t return to the hit TV show.
She told Entertainment Tonight in April: ‘I’ll be honest with you. I’d be shocked.
‘And I think how Taylor Sheridan writes his stories, and he just has a beautiful way of bringing things back and letting things go – I’ll be shocked. So, we’ll see what happens.’
On the other hand, Lainey observed that her touring schedule could hinder her Yellowstone ambitions.
The award-winning star admitted that her tour dates could clash with filming, meaning she wouldn’t be able to commit to the next season.
Lainey said: ‘What you don’t see on my calendar is rehearsal for this Country’s Cool Again tour. And that’s supposed to be like a week or two. So y’all better let me know.’
