Kevin Costner is not slated to appear as John Dutton on the final episodes of 'Yellowstone,' and he has closed the door on reprising his character in the future.
'Yellowstone' has finally begun production on the final installment of season five of the hit Western, but the show's lead will not be returning.

'Whatever happened there is unfortunate if it’s changed anything about how the show will unfold,' said Grimes, referencing speculation of a feud between Costner and production. 'I know, got busy with his movies that were like passion projects. At a certain point, you gotta do what you gotta do, man; you gotta do what you love.
