Kevin Costner has hinted that the Yellowstone story might not be over, despite his departure from the show. In a recent interview, the 69-year-old actor shared that while his time playing John Dutton has ended, he believes the story could continue with the focus shifting to Dutton’s children. Although Costner will not appear in the second half of season five, there are discussions about a sixth season without him, featuring Cole Hauser and Kelly Reilly as the leads.
Costner acknowledged that making the show was a significant part of his life and hinted at the possibility of the story “circling back” at some point. However, he has moved on to his long-term project, Horizon: An American Saga, which has not performed well at the box office, earning only $23 million in its first two weeks. Despite this setback, Costner remains optimistic and focused on the next chapters of his career.
The second half of Yellowstone season five is set to premiere on November 10 without Costner’s involvement. Hauser, who plays Rip Wheeler, has mentioned potential spinoff ideas for his character and Beth Dutton, played by Reilly, but for now, they are concentrating on finishing the series strong. Fans are eager to see how the storyline will evolve without its central figure, John Dutton.
As Costner turns his attention to new projects, it’s clear that his impact on Yellowstone and its fans will endure. While it’s uncertain if he’ll ever return to the Dutton saga, his influence on the series and its legacy is undeniable.
