What's next for Kevin Costner after Yellowstone season five?
Despite choosing to bow out of the popular Western drama, reportedly due to scheduling conflicts, Kevin recently revealed that he hopes to reprise his character at some point in the future.
"I'd like to be able to do it but we haven't been able to," he told Entertainment Tonight. "I thought I was going to make seven [seasons] but right now we're at five. So how it works out – I hope it does – but they've got a lot of different shows going on. Maybe it will. Maybe this will circle back to me. If it does and I feel really comfortable with [it], I'd love to do it."
Luckily, Kevin has several projects to keep him busy in the meantime, two of which are instalments of his Western epic, Horizon. Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month, while the second film, Chapter 2, is scheduled to be released in August.

On casting his son in the epic, Kevin told People: "I kind of did it on purpose, so he could be hanging out with me. And the same thing for Cayden, same thing for Grace. I'm like any other parent, I'm trying to figure out, like, 'This is really neat. You should come be with me.'"

The Bodyguard star also has three adult children, Annie, 40, Lily, 37, and Joe, 36, with his first wife Cindy Costner, as well as son Liam, 26, with former partner Bridget Rooney.

In an interview with ET, Chris revealed that he "loved" the script, describing it as an "abstract and interesting" story "about a man and a woman".

"[He's] so handsome, and he’s so good. He's going to have to go find his [own] love story. [But] I'm glad he likes this one. If I reach a moment where I [don't] think I could do that, I would [reach out]," he said, adding: "He's certainly one of our great leading men right now."
