Los Angeles, California – Fans of the hit series “Yellowstone” are eagerly anticipating the return of Kevin Costner for the final season of the show. Recent reports suggest that Costner is open to the idea of continuing his role as patriarch John Dutton on the Paramount Network drama.
Last year, tensions reportedly arose between Costner and the show’s creator Taylor Sheridan over shooting schedules, leading to Costner’s departure during the fifth season. Sheridan expressed disappointment over Costner’s exit, highlighting their differing visions for the show.
Despite the challenges, Costner has remained busy with his passion project, the upcoming film “Horizon: An American Saga,” where he serves as star, director, and producer. While promoting the film at CinemaCon, Costner shared his thoughts on the “Yellowstone” situation with “Entertainment Tonight,” expressing his desire to return for the show’s conclusion if the opportunity arises.
Costner had initially envisioned seven seasons for “Yellowstone,” but the show is currently in its fifth season. He remains hopeful that he can reprise his role in the future, acknowledging the many projects Sheridan has in the works, including spinoffs like “1923” and other prequels and sequels set in the “Yellowstone” universe.
Reflecting on his character’s arc, Costner expressed his own ideas for how John Dutton’s storyline should conclude but emphasized that it ultimately lies in Sheridan’s hands. As fans await updates on Costner’s potential return, Paramount Network has yet to comment on the situation.
The ongoing saga surrounding Costner’s involvement in the final season of “Yellowstone” continues to captivate viewers as they eagerly anticipate the series’s conclusion. With Sheridan leading the charge on multiple spinoffs, the future of the “Yellowstone” franchise remains a topic of keen interest among fans and industry insiders alike.
