As a film enthusiast who has followed the tumultuous journey of Yellowstone since its inception, it’s hard not to feel a sense of detachment and amusement as we watch Kevin Costner‘s cold shoulder towards the show that made him a household name once again.
For years now, Sunday nights have been home for new Yellowstone episodes, but that era is over now, with the western drama having dropped its brutal series finale in mid-December. Despite the knowledge that more upcoming Yellowstone shows are already set in stone, from the Beth and Rip-centric spinoff to the seemingly unrelated follow-up The Madison, fans will still have plenty of Taylor Sheridan stories to pay attention to. Just maybe don’t count Kevin Costner among those fans.
In the final episode of Yellowstone, Kayce’s Ranch plan proved to be successful. However, there’s one thing he said that I just can’t help but laugh about.
Kevin Costner’s presence undeniably played a significant role in transforming Yellowstone from an obscure cable show into a widely-watched scripted project. However, scheduling issues and creative differences between the Academy Award winner and Taylor Sheridan resulted in his departure from the series, despite efforts to bring him back. It’s no wonder that Costner showed little emotion when portraying John Dutton’s death in the midseason premiere, and it appears he had no desire to follow through and watch how the story unfolded further.
In a video posted by Daily Mail, Kevin Costner was spotted enjoying the winter season in Aspen, Colorado, a place he owns a large ranch. When asked about the finale of “Yellowstone,” as expected, he provided a response that fans will find intriguing. In his own words:
I’m not thinking about that. I don’t think I’ve given it any thoughts,. we’ll just let it go.
It seems quite unusual if Kevin Costner were to enthusiastically jump and shout for “Life Is a Promise,” showing unbridled excitement. Or even just saying something nice about it. However, given his past behavior, it’s not surprising that he might remain reserved in expressing praise. At least he didn’t make any unnecessary criticisms beyond stating his own opinion.
For nearly five seasons, Kevin Costner tirelessly championed “Yellowstone”. However, in 2023, he scarcely referred to the show during interviews. In fact, he steered clear of discussing his co-stars from the series and his previous collaborator, Taylor Sheridan. He didn’t even mention the show in his Golden Globes acceptance speech, and the Hollywood strikes added fuel to the backstage drama that ensued.
Initially, it appeared as though sunlight could pierce through the gloomy clouds in early 2024, a time when Kevin Costner expressed interest and perhaps eagerness to reprise his role as John Dutton in the final season of the popular Paramount series. However, rationality failed to prevail, leading to a significant change in the storyline for the last six episodes. These episodes were reworked, casting a shadow on John Dutton’s character and ultimately ending his life through a contracted assassination.
Luke Grimes fueled some rumors of potential disagreements when he stated that filming the last episodes without Costner was simpler and less contentious compared to previous times. These comments have led people to wonder about a possible conflict between Grimes and Costner, and he was also asked if he had communicated with his on-screen son. Interestingly, he initially remained quiet, then dismissed further questions by saying: “I prefer not to discuss that matter.
We’re done talking.
It’s clear that Kevin Costner’s response doesn’t imply any malice towards him, as he even advised the questioner to be cautious on the slippery roads. However, it didn’t exactly portray a picture of a warm and friendly bond between Costner and Grimes.
Fans will see Kevin Costner spearheading his personal venture, “Horizon,” which you can watch the initial episode of by subscribing to Max. Meanwhile, you can catch up on “Yellowstone” through a Peacock subscription.
