Despite leaving the show, Kevin Costner's impact on Yellowstone's ending is undeniable. Taylor Sheridan's scripted John Dutton's death in season 5, part 2, propelled the show's conclusion. While Yellowstone featured an ensemble cast, Costner's presence as the patriarch was crucial to its success. Sheridan's planned ending was accelerated by Costner's departure due to reported creative differences, highlighting the actor's lasting influence on the Neo-Western drama.
Despite being able to continue after he left, Taylor Sheridan 's Yellowstone ending proves that Kevin Costner still has the last laugh. Playing the Dutton family patriarch, John III, the veteran actor was at the forefront of the Neo-Western hit on Paramount+. Yellowstone is technically an ensemble, with compelling stories for Beth, Kayce, and Jamie, as well as the rest of the ranch.
Yellowstone Was Forced To End Because Of Kevin Costner's Exit Sheridan Had Long Decided On Yellowstone's Ending John's murder set the final stories of the rest of the Duttons in motion. Considering Costner permanently leaving Yellowstone, Sheridan didn't really have a choice but to give his character a definitive farewell. As subsequently revealed, however, John's death was always going to be a precursor to the show's ending.
Paramount+ and Sheridan moving beyond season 5 isn't difficult to imagine, considering how popular Yellowstone continues to be. This is evidenced by the upcoming sequel spinoff for Beth and Rip, which is essentially a follow-up to the flagship series, only this time, it's more focused on them. Admittedly, because of the limited remaining episodes, the Dutton patriarch's death wasn't as explored as in-depth as possible.
