The final season opener of “Yellowstone” screened tonight at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

It’s no secret that Kevin Costner and the show parted company some time ago. Costner’s character, John Dutton, had a lot of enemies, his exit wasn’t hard to execute.

Spies at MoMA confirmed that Dutton buys the ranch, so to speak, in the first episode. A family member does the deed but I’ll leave out the name of the culprit.

This won’t be like “Who Shot JR?” a mystery that went on for months. Viewers will learn who did it, and who Id’s the body right away.

Is it a ruse? Could Dutton be pretending to be dead only to turn up in the final episode? Anything is possible. But Costner is gone, and so is Dutton.

Costner did drop hints that he might somehow return, so maybe he’ll surprise everyone at the end. That would be amusing. But on Sunday, John Dutton is going boots up for all intents and purposes.

Costner, meantime, is busy trying to get “Horizon, Part 2” released and raise the money for parts 3 and 4. Part 1 was a box office dud, losing all of its $100 plus million for Warner Bros. as well as the $38 million Costner invested in it.

It’s the 21st season of “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Frankly, they could be doing anything on that once popular ABC drama. No one is paying attention.

With 5 episodes this season, the show’s average rating is down 26.6% from last season. In the key demo, the fall off has been 40%.

The October 24th episode had just 2.1 million viewers. The previous week was 2 million.

The party is over. It’s lasted a long time but they’ve squeezed this thing until nothing is left. Star Ellen Pompeo is rich beyond words, and she only appears in a few episodes this season. There are only two regulars aside from Pompeo who’ve made it to the end — Chandra Wilson and James Pickens Jr. Kevin McKidd would be third on the list. They will never have to work again.

There’s a new episode tonight. The hospital has gone through everything possible. What could be left except an alien invasion?

Is John Dutton killed off in the first episode of season 5.2 of “Yellowstone”?

That’s the rumor. Tomorrow night, “Yellowstone” screens for press after the remaining cast does a day of interviews.

So far, there are no press screening links for the show which returns on Sunday to the Paramount Channel.

That’s a bad sign for the show. Paramount Channel is keeping it under wraps to surprise viewers. Otherwise, they’d be pushing reviews now for big ratings come Sunday.

There will be a premiere tomorrow night at the Museum of Modern Art followed by a small party. The guests will likely be asked not to reveal any spoilers.

But Costner is gone. He’s not appearing in Season 5.2 at all except in flashbacks.

How will Dutton leave the show? Shot? Heart attack? Just disappear? I guess we’ll see. Meantime, Costner is still flogging a head horse with his “Horizon” movies even if no one wants them.
