Could Kevin Costner Return For Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2?

Why John Dutton's Return Is Up In The Air

Costner has played a crucial role in every previous season of the Paramount Network drama, but whether John Dutton's storyline gets a proper conclusion currently remains up in the air. Reports of various behind-the-scenes issues have emerged over the past two years that would suggest a breakdown in the working relationship between Sheridan and Costner. Costner has denied much of what has been reported, but the central points of contention seemed to be Yellowstone's writing and production timeline, and creative disagreements.

Yellowstone cast was impacting his ability to work on his Western ion project, Horizon: An American Saga. Costner has, however, expressed an interest in returning and bringing closure to his character.

Costner plans to make four Horizon: An American Saga movies in total.

With filming on Yellowstone season 5, part 2, now ongoing as Costner is in the midst of production on Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 3, it's unclear whether schedules will allow for his return. It's not known how long the Horizon shoot will go for, but it's possible that Costner will be able to squeeze in some filming for the Paramount Network show when that production has wrapped. Many questions still remain about Yellowstone season 5 part 2, but the final batch of episodes at least now has an official release date.
