“Yellowstone” is a Western series starring Kevin Costner as John Dutton. It tells the story of a ranching family in Montana that faces threats from those attempting to encroach on their land. Since its 2018 premiere, Costner has appeared in 53 episodes, but he plans to leave the show after season 5 for various reasons.

Ahead of “Yellowstone’s” season 5B return on November 10, 2024, Costner was asked how he described his character’s presence, given his limited appearance in the trailer. He replied, “His presence is integral. I think to say any more than that would potentially compromise all the work that went into redacting the scripts!”
Laughing, he added, “But I think the reason people are wondering, ‘Is he, isn’t he? Where is he, where is he not?’ is because he is the patriarch, and his presence is an essential component to the story. John Dutton is still central.”
