Taylor Sheridan is making a HUGE Mistake not bringing back Kevin Costner. This will Jeopardize his other shows. People will not invest years watching a series only to have his ego ruin everything.
It’s not taylor sheridan. It’s Kevin Costner. He’s too busy with his ‘series’ he is making that you have to see episode by episode at the theater. He’s an ass for screwing over his fans and mostnof all his fellow actors.
In one of these seasons wasn’t John Dutton supposed to have cancer? There’s a good way to kill him off. As episodes went by he didn’t hear about the anymore.
Agreed. Taylor Sheridan owes it to all the fans to find a way of writing out Kevin Costner and keep the show going. There are ways to do and you owe it to your huge fan base to see it through.
The show could easily move forward without John Dutton. Kevin Costner’s portrayal of John Dutton has been excellent, no question! However, he is not the only reason we’re invested in the show. Rip and Beth could easily step up as main characters. The whole cast is excellent!! There’s plenty of story left after taking care of Costner’s exit.
Rip and Beth could also very easily lead a spin off.
Yes. I would do a funeral scene to have John Dutton’s story be wrapped up. Then have the action move to the ranch where the cattle was shipped to. Have Beth run the selling of Yellowstone beef online where now they are making between 5-6 lbs fir their meat. Once we know that there isn’t disease in Montana the herd comes back. And now you expand the cast by staff helping Beth with Yellowstone beef. Kayce with Rip can run the daily ops at ranch. And because there are more jobs being provided by Yellowstone Ranch the development of the ski resort and housing for people will cause environmentalist to push back on the folks from New York. IMHO.
No longer interested or care. It’s been way to long and keeping teasing the return is ridiculous. People have given up waiting soooo verrry loonnng. We have written our own ending in our own minds. Have no desire to even think about it not returning
I agree, not having another season. It’s totally ruining the show. It has ruined my investment in Kevin and we’ll continue not to watch the shows in weeks further.
I agree! Vickie had a great point in which you maybe jeopardizing the integrity of your other shows by this one decision. People have invested time and have built tv relationships with some of your characters. I’d hate to see your wonderful talent deteriorate because of this. I’d think twice if I was you. Just saying!
I have an interesting way of pulling this off. Do a flash forward, to jJohn Dutton’s funeral. Instead of going back to where the story left off, stay in the future. You can tell John’s demise in dialog and brief flashbacks using old footage, unused footage, to explain how the audience got here.
The story line splits. Who owns Yellowstone now. Let the infighting begin. What about the Indian angle. And then there are the outside forces still in the picture. And what about Jamie.
There are enough stories lines that you can keep the audience so busy that they will have a hard time missing kevin cosner.
They could open with John Dutton funeral and as another commenter said use flashbacks and cut content to piece together his demise. When the wheel is read, John Dutton could name rip as the person he wants to run the ranch. Beth has temporarily relocated down to the 6666 ranch in Texas to oversee goings in there so she wouldn’t be in Rips way. This would enable them to bring in new interesting characters who rip hires and he could turn the ranch around in a new more modern direction away from just cattle without letting go of any of the property
I agree, they could open with John’s funeral. They could have Jamie’s bio dad have him killed like he tried to before, only succeeding this time, which would add fuel to the fire where Beth & Jamie’s hatred for each other continues to grow.
Kevin Costner is to Jon Dutton like Larry Hagman was to JR Ewing. John Dutton is to Yellowstone like JR Ewing was to Dallas. Without JR Ewing, there was no more Dallas. Without John Dutton, there is no more Yellowstone.
Love Kevin Costner! I hate that he is gone! But yes to Tator!!! They have to make sure she is in all episodes along with Beth, Kaycee, Rip and the others.
It’s not sheridan. Costner made the decision that his series was more important so he walked. His series is set to fail. And he notnonly screwed over his fans but his fellow actors.
While I hate the fact that Yellowstone will go on without Kevin Costner, the answer to fill that void is simple to me……bring back Josh Lucas to finish out the season since he has been a part of playing younger John Dutton, he did a pretty good job!
I’m not a Kevin Costner fan. I watch the show for the entertainment. Great story line. I say get another actor for the part, move on, and stop yanking the fans around.
Gigantic egos
Who woulda thunk it
I watched all four seasons in a month. TBH to me just another over the top politically correct soap opera with a “western” theme.
The best thing was Kelly Riley naked in the first season, as I recall that story line was completely stupid anyway.
Im done with Yellowstone and anything with Sherodin’s name on it!! Costner offered to finish it for what it’s worth, it was TS’s ego that said no, he wrote script with him out!
Amen 🖕Costner he’s over rated finish the show with a 4th wall refer to him on the phone and 💩. Find a Voice. Double he is the governor he’s gone anyway. This kill him off.
Yellowstone went downhill when taylor Sheridan started 50 spinoffs and didn’t give the mother-ship the attention it needed… his ego got the best of him
Just have John work his week and gets in a fire that takes away him being recognized, then get new actor as good and he can play the new face John… problem solved!
I will support a Yellowstone without Kevin. So sad he put all the fantastic other characters in limbo while all this keeps going. The other actors are great, have great characters and would keep the show going for years. Beth and Rip can run the Yellowstone with Casey! They are great!!!! Kill Kevin Off in an attack at capital bldg. not far from what is happening in the real world.
Kevin said I’ll come back for a week so you can kill me off…sure sounds like I’m only gonna work one week.
Costner shit the bed. He was trying to ride the coat-tails of his Yellowstone fame (I know he’s famous but Yellowstone was reaching a younger audience that wasn’t as familiar with him) and translate it into a big screen Western series. I’m also sure the was a big ole dollop of I’m the big star so I can do what I want.
I love Yellowstone and John was not a favorite character. Let him go! The damage that has been done to Yellowstone was the long wait for the rest of the series.
I love Kevin Costner! If they can’t come to an agreement and Costner is ready to move on, why not use Josh that played the younger version of John Dutton, and did a great job doing it, and let the show go on!
Have John die in a helicopter crash while leaving the Yellowstone, I’m sure that there is footage of him in the helicopter, in the first scene show him walking to the helicopter and a few minutes later have give the family the devastating news, then start the new storyline ?
If the show goes on without Costner, it’ll be a showdown as to who is really the heart and soul of the show. As sort of an analogy, think of when Brady left the Patriots.
We’re talking about a half dozen or so episodes. It’s not that hard.
Have him get killed in the crossfire if Jaime follows through with his plan to take out Beth
I like the idea of having Sam Elliott on the show. He could be Kevin Costner‘s brother to come help out at the ranch after the funeral. Yeah, a big helicopter explosion sounds fun!
Costner never should have started doing the show if he was going to quit and ruin it! He knew it was a series and it would last 5 seasons or more. He completely ruined Yellowstone and it would’ve been better if he just never did the show! I have been a huge Costner fan since he started in Silverado but he pissed me off with his crap attitude so I’m no longer a fan of his.
*Mindy
Yellowstone needs a John Dutton for the finale. So get one. (Not Sam Elliot). He’s not right for the part. But I know there is a big name out there somewhere that would love to be John Dutton. Costner let everyone down I have no respect for him now.
I think the splitting of the season was the first mistake. Kevin didn’t agree with it either, because he had his new movie, Horizon. They just waited too long. No matter who did or said what doesn’t even matter anymore. I loved 1883, and 1923 and of course Yellowstone, but it’s been too long and fans are frustrated.
Ok think Sheridan owes Costner an apology for spinning the story that he was unwilling to work with him and only giving him a week. Sheridan knew in the beginning that Costner had Horizon in the works and would be tied up in production. He should have worked it out and kill him off instead of making Costner look bad. I love Yellowstone and I love the other characters but the way Sheridan acted has left a bad taste in my mouth. Costner is one of the best actors of my time. I have lived every movie he has ever played in! I am sad that he won’t be back on Yellowstone.
I agree! Kevin Costner is a great actor! Sheridan is the problem. I love Yellowstone and will continue to watch as there are so many fantastic characters. But it won’t be the same without Costner!
People who say that Sam Elliott should take Kevin Costner’s place never watched the prequel 1865. Which is awesome!! Elliott is a main character. No Costner no show!
At the end of season 5 first half Jamie put out a hit on his father than changed his mind but was told once you put out a hit you can’t change your mind. So have it end with him being killed and no one knowing who did it. Eventually Beth will find out
He may just spin it as a “Who Killed JR” back in the day. This would allow Beth to go after Jamie without Rip’s knowledge and give Kace the chance to give the land back as promised by James Dutton

He’s really rich so he doesn’t give a shit about the viewers that made him all that money!!
Brenda
He can’t sit and wait forever. He is doing other shows. It does not matter if he is rich or not. He worked for the money.
Linda
Cosnee quit not Sheraton. There are others that can fill his place. How about Sam Elliot? He would be a great one ro fill the shoe of John Dulton.
Suzanne
In one of these seasons wasn’t John Dutton supposed to have cancer? There’s a good way to kill him off. As episodes went by he didn’t hear about the anymore.
