Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan breaks his silence on Kevin Costner leaving the smash hit show to focus on directing his own Western epic.
Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan breaks his silence on Kevin Costner leaving season 5 of the hit Paramount+ show to focus on directing his own Western epic. Costner experienced a career comeback when he took the lead role of John Dutton in Sheridan’s sprawling neo-Western series Yellowstone, which went on to be a massive hit on Paramount Network and Paramount+.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT As viewers eagerly await news on when Yellowstone season 5 will finally wrap up, the show's creator Sheridan has broken his silence on Costner's decision to leave the series, telling THR that he hopes the John Dutton actor achieves what he’s setting out to do with his own movie Horizon.
My opinion of Kevin as an actor hasn’t altered. His creation of John Dutton is symbolic and powerful … and I’ve never had an issue with Kevin that he and I couldn’t work out on the phone. But once lawyers get involved, then people don’t get to talk to each other and start saying things that aren’t true and attempt to shift blame based on how the press or public seem to be reacting. He took a lot of this on the chin and I don’t know that anyone deserves it.
The Yellowstone Universe Has Already Moved Beyond Costner Costner may have lent Yellowstone a certain credibility when he signed on to star as John Dutton ahead of season 1, but the show’s runaway success meant that Sheridan’s plans quickly became much bigger than just maintaining one hit show while servicing his star’s needs. Indeed, Yellowstone has already given the world multiple spinoffs, including the hit shows 1883 and 1923.
While it’s unfortunate that Costner was not able to find time in his schedule to film Yellowstone season 5, part 2 alongside his work on Horizon, it can be argued that Yellowstone no longer really needed him anyway.
