By the time the final episodes of Yellowstone premiere on the 2024 TV schedule , we will have been waiting almost two years for them. So, we’ve had a lot of time to think about what will come next and ruminate on all the loose ends that came with the last episode we saw. With that in mind, here are the five questions I can’t stop thinking about ahead of Yellowstone ’s final episodes.
How Will Kevin Costner Be Written Off? While we officially learned that Kevin Costner wouldn’t be back on Yellowstone in June – not long after Season 5B’s premiere date was announced – there’s been speculation about it for well over a year. After things started looking really bleak regarding his return, I actually came to the conclusion that Taylor Sheridan ’s show might be better without John Dutton . Now, before you try to take me to the Train Station over that, think about it for a second.
The patriarch dying (or leaving) creates a new problem for the kids regarding who will succeed him when it comes to the ranch. While I’m convinced that will be a primary plot point of Season 5B, I’m not so sure how they’ll write Costner off. They could bring back the cancer he had in earlier seasons.
He could be killed by one of the Duttons' many foes. Honestly, the possibilities are endless, and I’ve been questioning them for a long time. And as we’ll discuss in the next question below, I can’t help but wonder if Jamie will have anything to do with how John is written off.
.. Is.
