Kevin Cost nothingay yet grace the screen once more in the hit series, Yellowstone, provided the circumstances align favorably. A person with insider knowledge of the show mentioned that the opportunity for the actor to return as John Dutton has not been ruled out.
Costner, who was at the forefront of the show’s cast for its first two installments, was notably missing from the marketing for the third season, sparking rumors about his ongoing participation. Nonetheless, the creator of the series, Taylor Sheridan, has stated that Costner remains part of the ensemble, although his appearance frequency may diminish.
According to insiders, the actor’s temporary exit was prompted by clashes between his schedule and his commitments to other endeavors, such as the movie “Horizon.” Costner is reportedly willing to come back to Yellowstone should his timetable permit and if the plot can seamlessly integrate his character’s return.
There are ongoing discussions among the show’s creators about possible scenarios for Costner’s return, which could include a prequel or a related series. However, these plans are still in the conceptual stages, with the fourth season currently being produced without him.
Yellowtonish has achieved significant viewership and critical success on the Paramount Network, captivating audiences with the story of the Duttons—who own and defend the largest unified ranch in the U.S. against various adversaries.
Costner’s performance as John Dutton, the family’s head, played a crucial role in propelling the series to prominence. His lack of presence in the third season was a disappointment to many viewers, who voiced their sentiments online.
Fans of Yellowstone would surely celebrate Costner’s reentry into the series. Nevertheless, for now, they must patiently await how the narrative evolves in his absence.
