"Yellowstone" star Wes Bentley is speaking out on rumors of behind-the-scenes drama regarding Kevin Costner's future on the hit Paramount Network show.

Earlier this month, Deadline reported "Yellowstone" might be coming to end due to scheduling conflicts with Costner, 68, who reportedly wanted to reduce his time filming the Taylor Sheridan-created western series. 

However, Bentley, 44, who plays Jamie Dutton, the adopted son of Costner's character John Dutton, expressed his optimism about the show's future while admitting he wasn't involved in the discussions.

"The news that’s come out recently about the show is, you know, it’s above my pay grade," Bentley told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Saturday.

"Different people making decisions. I know that they’re still working on it, is what I’m being told — working on working things out with everyone to make sure we shoot.

 "And I’m confident we will. We always have before. I think it’s probably a bit of drama over nothing."

On Thursday, Costner's lawyer, Marty Singer, slammed reports that the actor was not willing to work as much to film season 5 and season 6 of "Yellowstone."

"The idea that Kevin was only willing to work one week on the second half of season 5 of ‘Yellowstone’ is an absolute lie," Singer said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "It’s ridiculous, and anyone suggesting it shouldn’t be believed for one second. As everyone who knows anything about Kevin is well aware, he is incredibly passionate about the show and has always gone way above and beyond to ensure its success."

Earlier this month, Paramount Network shot down rumors Costner was leaving "Yellowstone" at the end of season 5.

"We have no news to report. Kevin Costner is a big part of ‘Yellowstone,’ and we hope that's the case for a long time to come," a spokesperson for the network told Fox News Digital.

Last week, Bentley opened up about how the patriarch's death could affect his character in an interview with TV Line.

"I thought about this in season 1," the actor said while attending SCAD TVFest. "Because it’s always a possibility in TV, right? We’re always ready to die. … [And John] really has got this hypnotic pull on Jamie."

Bentley explained that Costner's character running for governor changed his character's thoughts on the potential fate of John Dutton.

Bentley explained that his character wouldn't have known what to do if Costner's character had died before his run for governor.

"Jamie would have been completely lost," the actor explained. "Maybe part of him would be frantic trying to take care of the ranch.

"I really do think he means what he says. He would feel that burden and maybe panic."

However, now that John Dutton has become the governor of Montana, things are a little different.

"After John ran for governor and became the thing he said he hated, Jamie started to have a change of perspective," Bentley said. "Maybe John is not this tough guy he says he is. Maybe John doesn’t have ideas. Maybe he’s just another guy like the rest of them.

"That’s the loss of the pedestal [he was on]," he added. "The deity is gone. I think that’s why Jamie’s choosing to try to have him killed. [He realizes that his] life would be much better without him, which is a big change for Jamie."

In his interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bentley shared that one of his favorite parts about "Yellowstone" is his character's complicated relationship with Beth (Kelly Reilly), which he believes has "hit an inflection point."

"We've got something coming," he told the outlet. "We're both threatening each other now in some serious ways. It's a mystery to me too where it's going. I just know this is an inflection point.

"Something major will come of this moment between Jamie and Beth. This is kind of the final straw. He didn't know how much Beth was really fed up with him until really recently, and I think that has now flipped a switch in Jamie that he feels similarly."

The "American Horror Story" alum said he had hoped for "some reconciliation" between the pair but believes Sheridan has taken the story in the right direction.

"They were going to destroy each other from the beginning, whether they knew it or not," he said.

Bentley also said he shares the audience's excitement and anticipation over the series' many twists and turns.

"I wait for that next script and with the same kind of anticipation our fans do for the next episode to be aired because, you know, Taylor surprises us so much,"he told Entertainment Weekly. 

"And I'm so interested in everyone. I'm so invested in more than just Jamie. I'm invested in the whole thing now. We all talk about it on set — you know, all the possibilities. We do our own fan fiction."

Paramount Network has announced "Yellowstone" season 5 is set to return in the summer of 2023.

A former Russian military commander turned blogger said on social media this week that the Russian military needs a "lend-lease" agreement with China if it wants to have any hope of winning the war in Ukraine.

Igor Girkin, a former Russian intelligence officer who played a key role in the country’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, said on Telegram this week that China "is the only country that could give us a lend-lease to continue this war with any level of success."

Girkin, an outspoken critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, added that Russia is "catastrophically lacking" in "ammunition, shells and artillery propellants."

Without the help from China, Girkin explained that "we won’t just be unable to fight for as long as we want" but could also "simply find ourselves naked and barefoot in every sense against the enemy as early as the middle or end of this year."

Girkin’s comments come the same week Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that the United States has evidence China is considering providing lethal support to Russia which the State Department has said is a move that will have "consequences."

"The [People’s Republic of China] understands what’s at risk were it to proceed with providing material support to Russia’s war against Ukraine," State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said. "We’ve been clear we will not hesitate to target Chinese companies or individuals that violate our sanctions, and we’re monitoring very vigilantly for potential violations."

The German newspaper Der Spiegel reported this week that Russia is in talks with China to purchase 100 combat drones.

Additionally, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi made a visit to Moscow this week to meet with top Russian officials and Putin himself.

Former intelligence officer Rebekah Koffler told Fox News Digital on Thursday that China's decision calculus is "entirely rational" as helping Russia’s militarily keeps the U.S. bogged down in Ukraine and focusing on the European theater as Beijing eyes Taiwan. 

"The biggest challenge for the United States would be to have to be engaged in two wars simultaneously, albeit by proxy – one with Russia, on behalf of Ukraine, and the other with China, on behalf of Taiwan," Koffler said. "There are concerns within the Pentagon about how long U.S. stockpile would last if Russia and China were to challenge us in a two-theater war." 

Friday marked the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion into Ukraine which resulted in a struggle that lasted much longer than most experts anticipated and is believed to have killed over 100,000 Russian soldiers, 13,000 Ukrainian soldiers, and 7,000 Ukrainian civilians.
