Kevin Costner, the star of the popular TV show “Yellowstone,” revealed that he was unaware of his character’s death until the show aired. Costner said he didn’t realize the show’s long-awaited return was on the day of its premiere, and learned of his character’s demise through fans’ reactions.
Despite confirming his exit from the show in June, fans were surprised when Costner’s character was killed off. Costner himself seemed uncertain about whether his character’s death was permanent, suggesting it could be a “red herring.”
Costner emphasized that he did not quit “Yellowstone,” but had scheduling conflicts that made it difficult to continue with the show. He had to prioritize other commitments, which the show’s team was unable to accommodate.
Fans expressed disappointment with the way John Dutton’s storyline ended, but Costner remains out of the loop on the show’s future plans.
