Is Kevin Costner Returning to “Yellowstone”?

Kevin Costner clarified his departure from “Yellowstone” due to scheduling conflicts and his desire to work on other projects, like “Horizon: An American Saga.” He expressed that while he loved “Yellowstone” and supported it for five years, continuing on the show under the current circumstances wasn’t feasible. Costner mentioned that he wanted more flexibility to pursue multiple projects rather than being tied down to one show for an extended period.

He also noted that he tried to make it work but felt that both he and the show’s creators had important priorities that couldn’t be aligned. Costner did not take a position of leverage, acknowledging that “Yellowstone” could continue without him but would be different. Despite this, he emphasized his commitment to standing tall and pursuing his passion for filmmaking, as evidenced by his work on “Horizon.”
