After a break of almost two years, the 5th season of Yellowstone is finally back with new episodes, which you can even stream promptly in Germany. But a lot has changed after the falling out between series creator Taylor Sheridan and star Kevin Costner. The hit western series continues without John Dutton and some fans are angry about the treatment of the main character.
Massive spoiler for Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2: With Kevin Costner’s exit, John Dutton’s story also came to a dramatic end. The ranch patriarch has been the victim of a contract killing, which promises an escalating showdown for the remaining episodes. But what does Kevin Costner actually say about this?
John Dutton’s Yellowstone death was Kevin Costner’s idea
At an awards ceremony, the team from E! News recently asked Kevin Costner on the red carpet about his thoughts on the controversial handling of his Yellowstone character. The two-time Oscar winner takes it calmly:
Who am I? They do what they want to do. That’s fine with me.
However, he can understand that some fans are not happy about the nature of John Dutton’s exit from the series:
The fans have a voice and they choose the things they want to pursue.
The character’s death doesn’t come as a complete surprise to Kevin Costner. According to his own statement, he even owned the Yellowstone producer himself some time ago suggested different ways of death for John Dutton. However, Costner did not reveal whether a sudden off-screen murder on behalf of Jamie Dutton’s (Wes Bentley) partner Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri) was specifically part of it.
