Kevin Costner Leaves ‘Yellowstone’ and Its Future Is Now Uncertain
The hit show ‘Yellowstone‘, which made Kevin Costner one of the highest-paid actors in television history, has just experienced an earthquake. ET has confirmed that Costner is leaving the show, and it remains to be seen how this will impact the upcoming episodes and the future of the series.
For some time, rumors have been circulating about Costner’s disagreements with Taylor Sheridan, the creative mind behind the ‘Yellowstone’ universe. A few months ago, it was reported that the actor wanted a very limited role in the remaining six episodes of the fifth season.
Since then, more signs have pointed to Costner’s departure from the series. It seems that his ambitious western, ‘Horizon’, with which he is returning behind the camera, has become his main interest. Personal problems, including his recent divorce from Christine Baumgartner after 18 years of marriage, may also have contributed to his decision.
However, his friction with Sheridan has likely played a major role in Costner’s decision to leave the show. A panel dedicated to ‘Yellowstone’ at PaleyFest in Los Angeles was canceled at the last minute a few weeks ago when none of those involved showed up. This cancellation led to speculation that ‘Yellowstone’ would come to an end prematurely because of Costner’s departure.
At present, it is not known when the actors will meet to shoot the remaining episodes of the fifth season in Montana. The future of ‘Yellowstone’ remains up in the air, and viewers are eager to see how the show will navigate this unexpected turn of events.
