variety.comJ. Kim Murphy Kevin Costner is officially on to new horizons. The actor has hung up his “Yellowstone” hat, ruling out a return to the long-gestating final episodes of the hit Paramount Network series.
Costner, who has been on the promotional circuit for the first and second parts of his Western epic “Horizon,” made his decision known with a video on social media, filmed during the daytime but posted to his accounts on Thursday evening. “After this long year-and-a-half of working on ‘Horizon’ and doing all the things that that’s required — and thinking about ‘Yellowstone,’ that beloved series that I love, that I know you love — I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue Season 5B or into the future,” Costner said in the video. “It was something that really changed me.
I loved it and I know you loved it. I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning. I love the relationships that I’ve been able to develop.
