Kevin Costner's Yellowstone Drama Explained

John Costner, who has played a crucial role in the Yellowstone story since the beginning, faced delays in the production of season 5 part 2. Allegedly, these delays were caused by tensions behind the scenes as Costner requested less filming time in order to focus on his upcoming Western, Horizon. Originally scheduled for release in September of this year, the second part of Yellowstone season 5 had to be postponed due to the reported impasse between Costner and the production team. With Costner's official departure from the show as his contract expires, creator Sheridan has stated that John's character arc will now have a "truncated" conclusion.

The scripts for part two of Yellowstone season 5 are still unfinished because of the ongoing WGA strike. However, discussions have allegedly occurred about bringing back Costner to film a few scenes in order to properly conclude his character. The conclusion of John's character arc and the overall storyline of the show are still uncertain. Nevertheless, a sequel series featuring Matthew McConaughey has already been approved.
