John Dutton, previously played by Kevin Costner, will still have a presence in Yellowstone season 5, part 2, explains director Christina Voros. The series, which premiered in June 2018, follows the Dutton family as they contend with land disputes, corporate encroachment, and political maneuvering that threaten their longstanding Montana ranch. Despite being the ostensible lead, Costner will not be returning to the series for its new season, which will also be its last. As Yellowstone season 5 part 2 approaches its release on November 10, questions have arisen regarding John Dutton’s future.
