William Earl administrator SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers for “Yellowstone” Season 5 Episode 9, “Desire Is All You Need.” Sunday’s episode of “Yellowstone” was a game-changer, as patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner) was killed off after the actor decided not to return to the show.

As shocking as the event was, the aftermath has reverberations that set the scene for the whole season. Director Christina Alexandra Voros spoke with Variety about the intense emotions conjured while filming the episode, how the crew supports the cast on complicated shooting days and what sequel series “The Madison” will have in common with “Yellowstone.” It was kind of great.

We’ve all been together so long as a family, and then we had this long hiatus between the strike and Kevin and everything. I think everyone felt really excited to be back together, but also a tremendous sense of obligation as storytellers.

I think when everyone had finished the show, everyone’s tired and wants to go back to their families and take care of their life.
