AceShowbiz - Kevin Coster has officially announced her exit from "Yellowstone". In a video posted to social media, Costner confirmed that he would not be returning to the show after the conclusion of the current fifth season.
"I have realized that I'm not going to be able to continue Season 5B or into the future," he said. "It was something that really changed me. I loved it, and I know you loved it. And I just wanted to let you know that I won't be returning."
Costner praised his time on the series, calling it "a beloved series that I love." He expressed his gratitude for the relationship he developed with fans and stated that he would "see you at the movies" in reference to his upcoming film, "Horizon: An American Saga".
According to reports, Costner's departure is due to scheduling conflicts with his own film project, "Horizon". The actor has explained that he wants to prioritize completing the multi-part Western series, which he has invested significant personal funds into.
Paramount Network has confirmed that the second half of Season 5 of 'Yellowstone' will premiere on November 10. However, the remaining episodes will proceed without Costner. The show is expected to continue with other cast members, including Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser.
Despite Costner's departure, the "Yellowstone" franchise is expected to continue in some form. Paramount has announced plans for a sixth season of the original series and multiple spin-offs, including "1883" and the upcoming "1923".
