Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2 premiered last weekend and revealed the fate of John Dutton. If you haven’t seen the episode yet, there are spoilers ahead!
As you know, there was a lot of drama behind the scenes Yellowstone AND Kevin Costner he failed to return to appear in the final episodes of the season, which was a huge shame.
Well, in the episode we learned that John Dutton was killed in a staged suicide. It was just one of those things that had to be done, and the rest of the story will be built on that event.
Costner recently learned of his character’s fate on the series, and while he hasn’t seen it, he’s heard about it and is in no rush to watch it.
While a guest on the Michael Smerconish show on SiriusXM, the actor said, “I haven’t seen it. I heard it was a suicide, so that doesn’t make me want to rush to see it.
When the person interviewing Costner noted that John Dutton didn’t seem like a ‘suicide guy,’ Costner said, “Well, they’re pretty smart people. Maybe it’s a red herring. Who knows? They are very good. And they’ll find out.”
Costner also reiterated that he has not left Yellowstone. Things just didn’t work out because the network’s producers kept changing things.
He explained: “I didn’t really have to leave anything behind. There were the gaps that were there. There were contractual things that would allow you to do both, but because both things were contractual, you had to make room for the other thing.
“There was space, but it was difficult for them to stick to the schedule. It seemed like it was just too difficult for them to do. There was time there, what happened, you can deal with it. But no one, I didn’t leave.
“I didn’t leave the show. All right? I had contracted to do all three. There was a contract in place to do all three. And within about eight months two more different types of contracts were negotiated. Not at my request, but at their request to try to do things.
“I satisfied them with those two more things that changed, things change, and in the end when they wanted to change them for the third time, because I had my obligations to do, I had 300 people waiting for me, I couldn’t help them anymore.
“I simply couldn’t help them. But I didn’t leave the show. There wasn’t, there was just a, you know, everyone has to live up to what they say they’re going to do. And it doesn’t matter what industry you’re in.”
It seems to me that the network and the producers kept changing things to oust Costner. But who knows. Regardless, Yellowstone is back and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the series unfolds and concludes.
