Why Fans Are Angry After the Fate of Kevin Costner’s ‘Yellowstone’ Character Is Revealed
Warning: This story contains major spoilers for season five of Yellowstone.
Kevin Costner is weighing in on the fate of his Yellowstone character.
The Oscar winner—who played John Dutton III for over four years on the Paramount drama—shared his thoughts on his character’s controversial death after the tragedy was revealed on the drama’s Nov. 10 episode.
And Costner—who exited the series due to scheduling conflicts after part one of season five aired its final episode in January 2023, one episode before his character’s death came to light in the storyline—was somewhat surprised by the tragic turn of events.
“I’m going to be perfectly honest. I didn’t know it was actually airing last night,” he said on the Nov. 11 of SiriusXM’s The Michael Smerconish Program. “That’s a swear to god moment. I’ve been seeing ads with my face all over the place and I’m thinking, ‘Gee, I’m not in that one.’ But I didn’t realize yesterday was the thing.”
