Yellowstone's Neal McDonough says Kevin Costner's exit 'was really just a timing thing' and he 'will be sorely missed' on set


After Kevin Costner officially announced he won't be reprising his role as patriarch John Dutton for the upcoming season 5B of Yellowstone, Neal McDonough is chiming in on his co-star's exit

Previous reports indicated that Costner was likely done for good with the series after conflicts between himself and producers over pay, his schedule and his availability to film his multi-part Western epic Horizon: An American Saga. It bordered Yellowstone National Park and the Broken Rock Indian Reservation, which often put the wealthy family at odds with their Native American neighbors and greedy developers looking to snatch up their land. He is also the showrunner, writer and director of multiple Yellowstone spinoffs, as well as several other shows he has created for Paramount and its streaming service Paramount+, leading some to suggest that he has stretched himself too thin, which led him to allegedly fail to produce scripts in time for Costner to film the second half of season five.
