Kevin Costner and Luke Grimes Address Fallout Following 'Yellowstone' Finale

The actors reflect on Costner's departure, on-set tensions, and the show's conclusion after a tumultuous final season.

Kevin Costner has publicly dismissed speculation about his alleged feud with 'Yellowstone' creator Taylor Sheridan and co-star Luke Grimes, emphasizing his focus on other projects.
Luke Grimes revealed that the absence of Costner during the second half of season 5 made the final episodes easier to film, citing reduced on-set conflict.
Costner's character, John Dutton, was written out of the show, but the actor admitted he has not watched the finale and has no plans to revisit it.
Grimes clarified that he has not maintained contact with Costner since his departure, attributing the distance to professional boundaries rather than personal animosity.
Costner has stated that he prioritized 'Yellowstone' during his tenure but ultimately shifted focus to his film project, 'Horizon: An American Saga,' due to unresolved production scheduling issues.
