Kevin Costner, who has been a central figure in Yellowstone since its inception, previously confirmed in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he would not be returning for the upcoming episodes. “I was really happy to do it. And I don’t need drama. So, let’s just take that drama away, let’s take the guessing [away]. The fans have been way too good to me. And my obligation is to go on and continue to make things that mean something to them,” Costner stated, emphasizing that it was “a necessary decision” to move on and focus on new projects.
Yellowstone is set to return on November 10, 2024, and fans are bracing themselves for the intense drama that is sure to unfold in the second half of Season 5.
