Kevin Costner seems to have drawn a line in the sand with his departure from the world of Yellowstone and Taylor Sheridan. The franchise’s creator is still enjoying a hot streak with his work at Paramount, including two successful Yellowstone spin-offs, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness, and the upcoming Paramount+ series, Landman.
According to InTouch, Costner comes in on the heels of the trailer for his epic Horizon, releasing this summer, and his dramatic exit from Yellowstone. The Oscar-winning star has been unhappy with the show since season 2, confirmed by Sheridan amid Costner’s exit from the series halfway through season 5.

The second half of season 5 is yet to come, with or without Costner’s participation. While there is talk of a new spin-off/sequel series starring Matthew McConaughey, Costner reportedly has an issue with Demi Moore and his future role in Landman.
“[Costner] told Demi that Taylor will court you but once he has you under his control, it’s game over. You’re just another actor who can be replaced,” a source alleged to InTouch. “Demi respects Kevin’s opinion…But she doesn’t get big film offers any longer.
