As you already know, there was a giant contract dispute, which finally led to Kevin Costner being let go from the sequence, and whereas stories have positioned the blame on Costner, the actor has a really totally different story of what occurred and he referred to as the producers and reporting on the behind the scenes drama “untruthful.”
Costner not too long ago set the document straight and needed to return for the ultimate episodes of the season, however proper now, as Season 5 begins capturing, he’s at The Cannes Movie Competition premiering his Western Horizon: An American Saga.
He’s additionally at present engaged on his third Horizon film and stated at a press convention that he’s heading again to proceed engaged on the movie after he’s completed at Cannes. So, it’s not sounding like he will likely be again to reprise his position as John Dutton, which is a disgrace.

I can solely do what I can do. He additionally famous he has not seen any scripts for the ultimate and added, “I’m not concerned in any of that stuff.”

He continued: “I assumed I used to be going to make seven [seasons] however proper now we’re at 5. So the way it works out — I hope it does — however they’ve acquired a variety of totally different exhibits happening. Possibly it’ll. Possibly this can circle again to me.

Yellowstone chronicles the Dutton household who controls the biggest contiguous cattle ranch in the USA. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect – the ranch is in fixed battle with these it borders – an increasing city, an Indian reservation, and America’s first nationwide park.
Yellowstone sequence actor Ian Bohen stated the tip of the present will ship the “finest finale in historical past.” I hope that’s true, however I don’t see how that’s going to be potential with out Costner’s involvement. We’ll simply have to attend and see!
