Yellowstone Creator Taylor Sheridan Addresses Kevin Costner’s Exit Amid Feud Rumors

It was merely time for Kevin Costner to go away the ranch. 

Two years after he exited Yellowstone, prompting the top of the sequence in its fifth season, the present’s creator Taylor Sheridan subtly shut down feud rumors by addressing Costner’s seemingly abrupt exit. 

“Kevin was solely imagined to be within the first three seasons,” Sheridan clarified throughout a June 28 look on The Invoice Simmons podcast. “That was in his contract. In my thoughts, that’s when his youngest son takes over and now we have to observe them lose their ranch or not lose their ranch or regardless of the case was going to be.”

Certainly, followers of Yellowstone will know that Costner’s John Dutton doesn’t quit the ranch till his loss of life within the present’s fifth season—at which level John’s son Kayce (Luke Grimes) lastly takes over and finally ends up promoting it. 

Nevertheless, that arc was imagined to happen a lot sooner. 

“The community was so petrified of not having Kevin be part of it,” Sheridan continued. “Though Kevin was able to go. He had different issues he wished to do. However he stayed on for an additional two seasons.”
