'Yellowstone' Creator Taylor Sheridan Breaks Silence on Kevin Costner's Exit | THR News

It's one of the most watched shows please do what you have to do to keep kevin😢

[MykalNines]

Sounds like Costner tried to book time and Sheridan wasn't able to meet those dates because of his other projects.

[longisimpkins]

Heck, I watch the show because of Costner. This is beyond upsetting!

[dieseldabz]

You blame Kevin and Kevin blames Taylor hmmm....

Yellowstone was only supposed to be a couple seasons, it was popular so they started creating more seasons. Kevin Costner only wanted to do a couple seasons and move on to do his own thing.

[Bartizzle]

So where does that leave Yellowstone. It sounds to me like he plans on continuing that chapter of the story. If he wants Kevin to have a respectful exit then sure he will need him back to fill those scenes. Also if the plan was to not have John Dutton I the story before the end of the show then why was there such a big fuss made of Kevin not being around so much.

Beautifully crafted stem to stern. The historical/hidden untruthes about Native peoples is important, revavent and heartbreaking in equal measure.

I dub the Taylor Sheridan a true Rennisance Man.

I have a true story for Sheridan, in a small Texas town near where George strait was born, it's a story of a Portuguese man and a sub-saharan African woman in the 1800s that was on my father's side 🥰

I think someone is thinking they are the star 🤔there are levels and now the series is being stopped and the huge star isn’t even going to be in 2nd part of season 5 ., what Kevin wanted didn’t seem that much considering what he’s done for the series, wish you all the Luck with your new western Kevin

[jerrybolt]

If Kevin goes I go and I'll bet your ratings go down hill

[casacomperannarinaldi]

Bellissima serie. Scheridan insuperabile❤ ma dovranno trovare la strada per superare le difficoltà sono dei professionisti grandissimi. Finale bruttissimo che non è coerente con il profilo di John. 😢❤❤❤❤Only him Kevin Costner strepitoso.

I find incredibly funny that people are blaming Taylor for doing more shows. For one it shows that they really don't know how Hollywood works. It's Paramount that tells him that they're interested in more shows and then pays him alot of money to develop their shows. Secondly Taylor is getting 100s of millions of dollars to develop those shows. Yeah I wouldn't have turned it down either Lol. Now if you're bummed out by the direction Yallowstone has taken i understand that. Id disagree but I understand it. But instead of blaming the other shows for the direction that you don't like did you ever take time to think that maybe this was the general direction that he meant to take the show to begin with and stuff that people didn't like for instance the scenes advertising 1883 in S4 was filler content because covid shut down most productions everywhere for a bit and they couldn't do planned storylines because they probably couldn't use some people or locations or whatever so they used the 1883 stuff because most of it could be shot on the four 6s ranch? Same with the Jimmy storyline.

Taylor Sheridan should do a music bio on the late Waylon Jennings and the outlaw country movement that surrounded his career.

[neh]

I'm a little suprised by the # of negative comments. To each his or her own💕

[billpierce]

Taylor Sheridan needs to stop making all these different shows that nobody wants to see. He needs to finish Yellowstone, that's the show everyone wants to see. Wake Up Sheridan

[Geronimo_Jehoshaphat]

Sheridan just has to make 15 shows at once.

[skuggensdam]

Taylor Sheridan is all about Taylor Sheridan at the end of the day. I swear it's like watching the rise and fall of Kurt Sutter all over again. Remember him and the "little" show that made him a sought after writer? Once "Sons of Anarchy" wrapped up Sutter tried really hard to get people excited about his other projects, but he was met with limited success. I see the same thing happening to Taylor Sheridan; he should be cautious about burning bridges because he might need them later. As it is, now that I know that Costner has left "Yellowstone" I am done with watching Taylor's shows.

[pfg_pedals]

Can’t wait for those four movies to never come out. One in the hand is worth four in your wildest dreams apparently.

Love Matthew and he is a perfect fit!❤

Nobody wares a black Stetson better I love him I work nights and my job knows I'm going to be late on Yellowstone night...
