Taylor Sheridan sounds off on Kevin Costner’s explosive ‘Yellowstone’ exit after rumored clash

Taylor Sheridan sounds off on Kevin Costner’s explosive ‘Yellowstone’ exit after rumored clash “Yellowstone” creator Taylor Sheridan made a rare comment about Kevin Costner’s departure from the western drama, years after their rumored feud behind the scenes. In his Sunday appearance on the “Bill Simmons Podcast,” the producer, 56, claimed the “Bodyguard” star, 71, was initially “only supposed to be in the first three seasons.” “That was in his contract. In my mind, that’s when his youngest son takes over [on the show]… But the network was so scared of not having Kevin be a part of it, even though Kevin was ready,” he explained. “He was ready to go. He had other things he wanted to do, but he stayed on for another two seasons.”
