Kevin Costner announced Thursday night through Instagram that he will not return for another season of ‘Yellowstone.’
“Hi, everyone. I just want to reach out and let you know that after this long year and a half of working on Horizon, and doing all the things that that’s required, and thinking about Yellowstone, that beloved series that I love and I know you love. I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue Season 5, or into the future,” Costner says in his post.
“It was something that really changed me. I loved it and I know you loved it. And I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning. I love the relationship that we’ve been able to develop, and I’ll see you at the movies.”
Costner, 69, who has portrayed John Dutton lll in the series for five seasons, recently said he loved the show but was “disappointed” in how the rumors surrounding his exit were handled by production.
“I loved the show. I liked the people on the show. I liked what it was about. I love that world,” Costner said.
“There was a moment where that show for me stopped for 14 months… That’s the fact,” he said. “I could have done a lot of things in that time, but I wasn’t aware that that [hold-up] was going to happen.”
