Kevin Costner has finally spoken out about his future on “Yellowstone,” the hit neo-Western TV series created by Taylor Sheridan. The show is set to return for its fifth and final season in November, but there’s uncertainty surrounding Costner’s involvement, as production has yet to begin despite it being mid-April.
One of the burning questions looming over the series is whether Costner will reprise his role as John Dutton after the intense drama. While it seemed like his days as Dutton were over, there’s now a glimmer of hope for fans. Costner hinted at the possibility of his return, saying:
“I’d like to be able to do it but we haven’t been able to…I thought I was going to make seven [seasons] but right now we’re at five. So how it works out — I hope it does — but they’ve got a lot of different shows going on. Maybe it will. Maybe this will circle back to me. If it does and I feel really comfortable with [it], I’d love to do it,” in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Costner also revealed that he has contemplated John Dutton’s fate in the series, expressing his thoughts on how the character’s journey might conclude. “Well, you know, he needs to be proactive in what happens and I’ve kind of had my own fantasy how it might be, but that’s Taylor’s thing. I said as much to him a while back. I had thoughts how it could happen, but we just have to see,” he shared with ET.
Will John Dutton make a comeback?
The big question now is whether Sheridan, the show’s creator, wants Costner to return. While Costner appears keen on reprising his role, there have been reports suggesting that Sheridan may not be on the same page. It remains to be seen if Sheridan would be willing to rework the final season and its ending to accommodate Costner’s potential return.
As fans eagerly await the return of “Yellowstone,” the uncertainty surrounding Costner’s involvement adds an extra layer of anticipation. Will John Dutton make a comeback for the show’s conclusion? The answer remains up in the air as the wait continues for updates on the production and casting decisions.
In the midst of all the speculation, one thing is clear: Costner’s openness to a potential return has sparked hope among fans, leaving them eager to see how the saga of John Dutton unfolds in the highly anticipated final season of “Yellowstone.”
