Paramount Network’s Yellowstone took years to achieve the kind of widespread pop culture acclaim that matched up with its monster ratings, chart-topping DVD sales, and mass appeal throughout the U.S.. But it only took a few months for all that success and goodwill to implode over alleged behind-the-scenes conflicts tied to Kevin Costner’s scheduling and eagerness to work on other projects like his upcoming pair of Horizon western features. While nothing official has been announced by the network or creator Taylor Sheridan, it’s now being reported that Costner is indeed destined to exit the role of John Dutton after Season 5, though it’s still unclear when (or if) we’ll actually see the remaining episodes.
