nypost.com:

his “Yellowstone” character was killed off in the Season 5 Part 2 premiere that aired Sunday night. “Well, I’m going to be perfectly honest.

I didn’t know it was actually airing last night,” Costner said on “The Michael Smerconish Program” on SiriusXM on Monday. “That’s a swear to God moment.

I swear to God,” he went on. “I mean, I’ve been seeing ads with my face all over the place and I’m thinking, ‘Gee, I’m not in that one.’ I’m not in this season.

But I didn’t realize yesterday was the thing. Somebody said, ‘It played last night?’ And I said, ‘Hmm, okay.’ So no, I found out about it this morning actually.”At the start of the episode, John Dutton is found dead by a gunshot wound.
