After months of rumors and speculation, creator Taylor Sheridan has finally addressed the drama surrounding the exit of the show's biggest star . In this video, we break down the conflicting stories behind Costner's departure. While initial reports suggested Costner wanted a reduced filming schedule to focus on his $100 million passion project, Horizon: An American Saga , the actor claims that Paramount and 101 Studios mismanaged the production gaps . Costner also revealed that he was offered less money than in previous seasons and that there were significant "issues with the creative" direction of the show . On the flip side, Taylor Sheridan has explained that Costner was originally only contracted to play John Dutton for three seasons .
