Kevin Costner Is ‘Not Thinking About’ the ‘Yellowstone’ Series Finale: ‘I Don’t Think I’ve Given It Any Thoughts. We’ll Just Let It Go’

Michaela Zee Kevin Costner recently told the Daily Mail that he hasn’t given the “Yellowstone” series finale “any thoughts” since it aired on Dec.

15. Costner, whose “Yellowstone” character John Dutton was killed off in the Season 5 Part 2 premiere, said of the finale, “I’m not thinking about [the ‘Yellowstone’ finale].

I don’t think I’ve given it any thoughts, we’ll just let it go.” Back in November, Costner shared his reaction to Dutton’s death in an interview with SiriusXM’s “The Michael Smerconish Program.” The actor revealed at that time that he hadn’t yet seen the premiere of Season 5 Part 2, but did learn of his character’s fate the morning after the episode aired. “I didn’t see it,” Costner said. “I heard it’s a suicide, so that doesn’t make me want to rush to go see it.” Elsewhere in the interview, Costner recalled that earlier in the series’ run, there were “a couple times where I talked about possible endings for myself,” which did not include suicide.

But he added that how the “Yellowstone” writers wrote his character out of the story is “their business.” Costner departed from “Yellowstone” after Season 5 Part 1, which aired in the fall of 2022.
