Kevin Costner is thrilled at the prospect of donning his cowboy hat once more as John Dutton in the final chapter of the much-loved Yellowstone.
The esteemed actor shared his excitement about potentially returning to the dramatic landscapes of the Dutton Ranch for the show's highly-anticipated fifth season, set to grace our screens this November.
"I’d like to be able to do it, but we haven’t been able to," he confided to Entertainment Tonight. As the narrative approaches part two of its fifth season, Kevin remains hopeful, saying, "Maybe this will circle back to me."
Kevin, a doting father of seven, has been dreaming up his ideal conclusion for John's tumultuous journey.
"He needs to be proactive in what happens, and I've kind of had my own fantasy how it might be," he mused, adding a layer of intrigue to his character's fate. Yet, he acknowledges that the final decision rests with the creative genius behind the series, Taylor Sheridan.

Reports from Puck suggest the two-time Oscar winner is not only open to a cameo but possibly more, aiming to delight the Yellowstone fanbase longing for more of John Dutton's compelling story.
"Kevin Costner has been telling people he’s planning to return," shared Matthew Belloni of Puck News, though challenges remain in reconciling Kevin's aspirations with Taylor's vision for the series' conclusion.
