A Kevin Costner Shocker from Yellowstone
In surprising news, Kevin Costner has made a shocking exit from the hit TV show Yellowstone. Known for his role as John Dutton, Costner’s sudden departure has left fans feeling a bit salty. He wasn’t just an on-screen star – he was a major cheerleader for the show behind the scenes, too.
More than Just Acting
In spite of his contract getting extended from three to seven seasons, troubles came in waves. He had to deal with unexpected bumps like filming delays due to COVID. Plus, there were writer strikes and his schedule was a total mess. He wanted to work on other stuff, but these issues kept him stuck.
Farewell, for Now
The last straw came when Taylor Sheridan, the person who created Yellowstone, wanted to split the fifth season into half. Costner, already committed for his film Horizon, had to bow out due to his packed schedule. Because of this, filming for season five fell apart. Costner mentioned that they never got the scripts to him.
In a chat with GQ, he even said he was ready to film his character’s final scene if the story needed it. His offer shows his solid commitment to the show. Although, him saying goodbye didn’t sit well with his fans.
A Possible Costner-Netflix Reunion?
Even though Horizon didn’t do well at the box office, Netflix may give Costner another shot. Netflix could partly fund parts 3 and 4 of Costner’s western saga. But instead of a big screen deal, they want to do them as mini-series episodes.
But, this isn’t the first time that Costner and Netflix have worked together. They did a movie together called The Highwaymen. Plus, some older Costner movies like Let Him Go did well on Netflix. It’s still a guessing game whether Costner will switch gears for this new setup. He loves the feel of the cinema, so the decision might not be that easy for him.
The Future of Costner’s Horizon
To his fans eagerly waiting for more of Horizon, there’s a thrill ride coming. Fans can get their drama fix for now by checking out Yellowstone on Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Wrapping Up
In short, Kevin Costner’s sudden goodbye from Yellowstone has left a strong impression of his chasing his passion and sticking with the show through a lot. While fans are bummed about his leaving, there’s hope he might come back to the small screen in a new package. For now, everyone’s got their eyes peeled for his next step. Here’s to hoping for a cool journey ahead for the Yellowstone hero.
