‘Yellowstone’: This Season’s Most Shocking Drama? Watching Creator Taylor Sheridan Tear Down Kevin Costner’s Legacy


'Yellowstone' wrote off Kevin Costner's John Dutton once he left the show. Now creator Taylor Sheridan is mocking the character's legacy in death.

Once it became clear that Kevin Costner wouldn’t return for the second half of Season 5 of “Yellowstone,” fans wondered how series creator Taylor Sheridan would write off his character, John Dutton. Instead of a fitting send-off for the patriarch of the central family, it seems like Sheridan is trying to throw mud on the main character’s in-show legacy, while also needling Costner in real life. Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker then wrote off his character Chef by having him join a pedophile cult, which appeared to be inspired by his involvement in Scientology, before being ripped apart by animals and, finally, pooping his pants.
