YELLOWSTONE SPOILER: Kevin Costner’s Exit Sparks Fan Theories on How to Fill the Void
In a shocking twist, Kevin Costner, beloved star of Yellowstone, will not be returning for the final episodes of the hit Paramount Network drama. However, fans have come up with their own theories on how to address his absence.
Last year, it was announced that Costner, who portrays John Dutton, would be leaving Yellowstone to focus on his Western film series, Horizon: An American Saga. Reports of creative differences between Costner and creator Taylor Sheridan, as well as scheduling conflicts, surfaced. Despite this, Sheridan still holds respect for Costner as an actor.
Costner’s departure poses a challenge for the show’s plot, as season five part one left off with several storylines revolving around John Dutton. From Jamie Dutton’s call for his father’s impeachment to the agreement between John and Beth that action needs to be taken regarding their troubled son and brother, the upcoming episodes have a lot to address.
With Costner no longer part of the franchise, season five part two faces some hurdles. However, fans on Reddit have proposed a solution: a time jump. This would not only resolve the casting issue but also explain the aging of characters like Kayce Dutton’s son Tate and Carter.
One Reddit user initiated the discussion, stating, “The last episodes were filmed in spring of 2022, and some of the cast members are bound to look fairly different, especially Tate and Carter. I can’t see any scenario where an immediate continuation of the story tied with a sudden off-screen John Dutton death or disappearance would make sense and keep the story realistic.”
As fans eagerly await the return of Yellowstone, it remains to be seen how the show will address Kevin Costner’s absence. Will a time jump be the solution? Only time will tell.
Kevin Costner’s hit series Yellowstone may be getting a time jump in its upcoming seasons, according to fans. Many believe that a time jump would allow for more intriguing plot developments and a final showdown between Jamie and the Dutton family. The idea is supported by the need to explain the characters of Tate and Carter, which would be difficult without a time jump. While some fans hope that Kelly Reilly will return to the show, Costner himself has expressed his willingness to finish off Yellowstone. With part two already scripted, it remains to be seen if creator Taylor Sheridan will make changes to accommodate Costner’s return.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue to captivate the public’s attention since stepping back from their senior royal duties. Their Netflix series, which offers a glimpse into their lives, highlights the couple’s desire to share their story directly. Although reports suggest a hefty payday for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the exact figure remains unknown. As the show progresses, it is uncertain if Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan will alter the ending to include Costner’s return.
