Kevin Costner, who starred as John Dutton in Yellowstone, revealed that he was not aware of a major death in the show. This surfaced during a recent legal deposition related to his disputes with the show’s co-creator, Taylor Sheridan, as well as other contractual and production issues that became significant in Yellowstone’s final season.
The surprising revelation came as Costner discussed the changing direction of the storyline, which he felt was not aligned with his understanding of his character and the show’s trajectory. Costner’s lack of awareness about this plot twist underscores the rift between him and the production team, which has been the subject of public interest due to Costner’s sudden departure from the show. The specific death and the circumstances around it were reportedly significant to the Dutton family storyline, further underscoring the breakdown in communication that occurred during the production process.
This revelation has added to the intrigue surrounding the delayed release of Yellowstone’s fifth season’s final episodes, and Costner’s absence from future Yellowstone installments. It’s left fans wondering about the evolution of the plot and the creative conflicts that may have influenced the show’s eventual course.
