Kevin Costner Confirms He’s Done With ‘Yellowstone’

Costner announced his departure Thursday in a social media video. His message came on the same day that Paramount Network said the last episodes of “Yellowstone” would start airing Nov. 10.

The actor, who recorded his video standing outside in front of a hedge, began by saying he wanted to “reach out” to fans following “this long year and a half of working on ‘Horizon,’” his ambitious film project.

Costner then addressed “Yellowstone,” calling it “that beloved series that I love, that I know you love,” and said he “just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue Season 5B or into the future.”

The actor added that doing the show “really changed me.”

“I loved it and I know you loved it, and I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning,” he said. “I’ll see you at the movies.”

The actor has recently been focused on “Horizon: An American Saga,” a Western epic in four parts — the first of which is set to open in theaters June 28.

HuffPost reached out to Paramount Network for comment but did not receive an immediate response.
