Kevin Costner determined to leave Yellowstone feud ‘behind him’
The 69-year-old is determined to put all the drama that came from his exit from the neo-western series Yellowstone behind him. Kevin’s character, Dutton family patriarch John Dutton, was killed off in the show’s final season after the actor decided to leave the series due to scheduling conflicts between Yellowstone and his passion project Horizons.
His departure from the show stirred rumors of behind-the-scenes drama between him and showrunner Taylor Sheridan and co-star Luke Grimes, who plays his onscreen son. A source told Life & Style that “Kevin is being intentional about getting a fresh start in 2025.”
