Kevin Costner Now Says He’s Not Returning to “Yellowstone” — But The Show Had Moved On Without Him

Kevin Costner’s been making the rounds publicizing his “Horizon” movie, saying he could go back to “Yellowstone.”

But now he’s put up an Instagram video saying he’s not going back. Why? Because the show has already filmed its final season without him. And Paramount just yesterday announced a return date for November. Costner always knew he wasn’t going back. John Dutton dies off screen.

Costner got caught in a timing problem. At the same time he was using “Yellowstone” for his own publicity, they had already moved on.

“Horizon” is tracking at an opening next Friday of $10 million. I think the “Yellowstone” fans will not support Costner. They’re angry the show is ending because of him, essentially.
