Many fans of the popular show Yellowstone were left disappointed and unimpressed with how the latest season handled the exit of actor Kevin Costner's character, John Dutton. The 69-year-old actor had previously announced that he would not be returning to the show, despite being heavily featured in the trailer for the fifth and final season.
Fans were devastated by this news, but they held onto the hope that John Dutton's character would be given a fitting and honorable end. However, their hopes were quickly dashed as the first few moments of the show revealed that the character had taken his own life. Although the actor himself was not shown in the scene, viewers saw a body lying in a bathroom with a gun next to it, and later Jamie announced his father's death.
This ending was met with disappointment from fans who felt that such a beloved and iconic character deserved a better goodbye. Many took to social media to express their disappointment and even felt that the show's creator, Taylor Sheridan, and Kevin Costner must have had a fallout for such an unsatisfying ending to be written.
Executive producer Christina Voros praised Sheridan's decision to begin the season in such a bold and unexpected way, focusing on the aftermath of the character's death rather than the incident itself. However, Costner himself expressed his lack of enthusiasm for his character's death and even speculated that it could be a "red herring" and not the true fate of John Dutton.
As the season progressed, it was revealed that there was more to John Dutton's death than initially shown, proving Costner's speculation correct. However, this did not change the fact that many fans were disappointed with how the character was written out of the show.
In a video shared on Instagram, Costner explained that he had to make a tough decision due to his commitment to another project and would not be able to continue with Yellowstone in the future. He expressed his love for the show and the relationships he had formed with the cast and crew, and assured fans that they would see him in the movies.
Yellowstone first launched in 2020 and has gained a devoted fanbase, making Costner's departure a significant loss for the show. It is available to stream on Paramount+ for those who want to catch up on the latest season.
