The show is titled National Parks and focuses on a team of elite NPS agents tasked with solving crimes that occur within the confines of federal public spaces.
Costner also plans to produce the drama, while Helbing will serve as showrunner.
Meanwhile, Yellowstone is now in its fourth season with Costner as John Dutton, the patriarch of a powerful farming family in Montana.
The filming of the fourth season took place in Montana last year under strict COVID-19 protocols.

The Oscar-winning actor told the LA Times last year that he never intended to stay in the Western series when he signed.
“It would be ten deliveries, it would end there,” he explained.
But, he added, the quality of the material and the fact that the show was ‘wonderfully received’ led him to invest in the story.
Hit: Meanwhile, Costner will return in June as John Dutton, the patriarch of a powerful farming family in Montana, in a fourth season of Paramount Network’s Yellowstone.
