As the final episodes of "Yellowstone" approach, fans are eager to know if Kevin Costner will return as the beloved character John Dutton. Despite the lack of confirmation, recent developments suggest that it's time to face the reality that Costner may not come back.
Costner's year-long tumultuous relationship with the Western series, coupled with his involvement in the movie "Horizon 3" and another TV series by Taylor Sheridan, point towards his departure. KSL TV reports that "Horizon" is being filmed in Utah, while "Yellowstone" shooting takes place in Montana.
These conflicting schedules cast further doubt on his return.
Another telling sign is Costner's beard which looks nothing like John Dutton's. This change in appearance sends a clear message – his character may not make a comeback, especially considering the production status of Sheridan's show.Fans are divided; some hold on to hope, while others resign to the prospect of "Yellowstone" without Costner.
The show's ratings and fan loyalty have been significantly tied to Costner's portrayal of Dutton, and the idea of his exit has led to a whirlwind of emotions across the fandom.
With his current projects, "Horizon 3" and Sheridan's upcoming series, Costner appears to be moving on to new challenges. The question remains, though, how will "Yellowstone" navigate the potential absence of its star? Only time will tell. But one thing is certain – the final episodes are poised to be as dramatic behind the scenes as they are on screen.
