Kevin Costner sheds light on his departure from the popular series «Yellowstone». After playing patriarch John Dutton III for five seasons, the actor said he still has fond memories of working on the Paramount Network series.
«I liked this show», - said Kevin, 69, to PEOPLE in an interview published on Wednesday, June 19. «I liked the people on the show. I liked what it was about. I love this world».
This doesn’t mean everything was absolutely perfect. When Kevin announced he was leaving the show in 2022, rumors surfaced about the real reason for his departure.
«I read all the stories», - the actor admitted. «I was disappointed that no one on their side… ever defended what I actually did for them. There came a moment where I thought, 'Wow, when is someone going to say something about what I did, instead of what I didn’t do?'»
In February, Kevin’s lawyer, Marty Singer, also responded to online rumors, stating: «As everyone who knows anything about Kevin knows, he is incredibly passionate about the show and has always done everything possible for its success».
According to Kevin, he initially agreed to participate in creator Taylor Sheridan’s show for one season, as it was presented to him as a long movie. Ultimately, the Oscar winner believes the studio wanted a series that could last for several seasons.
«Because he’s such a prolific writer, [Taylor] said, 'I can do this. I can create a show that will go on,'» Kevin believed. «I said, 'I'll do it for three seasons,' and ended up doing it for five».
He added that he was open to continuing, but no one could provide a production schedule. Fourteen months passed when the show stopped. As a result, Kevin wanted to pursue other projects.
Despite the past, Kevin said he would be open to returning to «Yellowstone» if the script and storyline were right. «It could be an interesting moment to come back and finish the mythology of this modern family, and if it happens, I would be in if I agreed with how it’s done», - he said. «Ultimately, I couldn’t do more for it than I already did».
Kevin’s latest film, «Horizon: American Saga», is set to be released in theaters worldwide on Friday, June 28
