The second part of Season 5 of " Yellowstone " premiered last Sunday night, and the fate of Kevin Costner's character was revealed relatively quickly.

Kevin Costner has left “Yellowstone,” and some viewers are not happy about it. The actor, who played the patriarch John Dutton on the hit series, addressed some backlash over his character’s exit. “Fans have a voice in things and they choose to follow stuff,” Costner told E! over the weekend.

Kevin Costner isn't on Yellowstone anymore, but he still has some thoughts about the direction the show took his character, John Dutton, following his exit. The Oscar winner confirmed his departure from the Paramount Network drama in June 2024 following months of speculation about whether he would appear in the final episodes of season 5.
