The Fate of Kevin Costner’s Character John Dutton in ‘Yellowstone’ Following the Actor’s Departure


Kevin Costner had left the series 'Yellowstone' after filming conflicts with his 'Horizon' movies. Find out what happened to his character, John Dutton.

The episode opens with the big reveal to the audience, first building tension with John ignoring a phone call, then driving home that something bad has gone down as Kayce passes police tape to see a body double of Kevin Costner lying face down and finally a confirmation via press conference to seal his fate. According to him, he had tried to fit in the production of his own, self–funded four-part Neo-Western movie series, Horizon, with the filming schedule for Yellowstone, and he blames the show for moving their shooting window around and making that an impossibility.
