Kevin Costner’s Shelved Western Franchise Turns to Streaming for Redemption

Kevin Costner's Shelved Western Franchise Turns to Streaming for Redemption




TV mogul Taylor Sheridan recently addressed the controversial departure of Kevin Costner from the smash-hit series Yellowstone, and said that the split wasn't as contentious as it was made out to be. Sheridan appeared on The Bill Simmons Podcast and revealed that Costner's arc on Yellowstone was initially supposed to last three seasons, with the baton then being passed to the next generation of characters. But the studio didn't want to mess with a hit show, and Costner stuck around for more than one additional season than he had expected to. Sheridan explained, "Finally, Kevin hit a point where he said, 'I gotta do my own thing.' But we originally conceived it together that it was three seasons, and then the baton is handed — because we had to tread water for a bit there, and I think it was pretty evident." When Sheridan refers to Costner's "own thing," he probably means the sprawling Horizon saga.
