Despite the actor’s rumored exit from the show, Kevin Costner’s Yellowstone future is grounded in solid foundations. While fans are bothered about the fan favorite leaving the drama series, assurance has been given. Without a doubt, Paramount executives are certain about Kevin Costner’s future with the drama series.
Paramount Executive On Kevin Costner’s Future At Yellowstone
Yellowstone fans were left crushed over the weekend. Why? You may ask. The creator and a majority of the cast of Yellowstone failed to turn up at the PaleyFest panel in Los Angeles.
The panel was set to include the main cast of the drama series, including fan favorite Kevin Costner. However, only a few of them showed up, including Keith Cox, president of development and production at Paramount Network.
While Cortner couldn’t attend the event, Cox seized the opportunity to clear the air on the rumors. The actor had been rumored to be involved in a behind-the-scenes conflict that threatened his exit from the show.
With this rumor making the rounds, Yellowstone fans were worried about their favorite character’s fate, patriarch John Dutton.
As reported by ET, Cox reassured the crowd about Costner’s future. “What I can say is our star, the face of our show, and the executive producer, [we] are very confident he’s going to continue with our show,” he said.
Cox’s reassurance was met with loud applause, as earlier reports implied that Yellowstone’s end had come.
One such report was from Matthew Belloni, founding partner of the publication that further reported Yellowstone’s on-set challenges. In a chat with ET, the reporter referred to Yellowstone as being in “limbo.”
Kevin Costner’s Yellowstone Future Is Solid
Worry not; Costner is here to stay. Aside from the reassurances by network executives, Costner’s co-stars have also reiterated that he is still a part of the show.
“Kevin is very much a big part of the show and hopefully will continue to be for a very long time,” Mo Brings Plenty told The Hollywood Reporter.
Although Costner has not addressed the rumors, Yellowstone fans are holding on to the hope that he will remain with the franchise.
