Kevin Costner is Truly Done With Yellowstone After What Taylor Sheridan Did to John Dutton: “That’s fine with me”

Kevin Costner is fine with Yellowstone killing off John Dutton in the ninth episode, of Season 5. While fans knew that Costner wouldn’t be returning to the final season, they didn’t expect the series to give such a goodbye to the character. Fans have expressed outrage on social media platforms over the Dutton family patriarch’s off-screen murder.

Costner had a falling out with creator Taylor Sheridan over the creative control of the series. The Dances with Wolves star announced his exit from the series in 2023 and went on to focus on his passion project, Horizon. Costner has now addressed how Yellowstone wrote off his character.
