People always turn stuff into a big dramatic thing. Lots of people get tired of their jobs after a few years, especially in the content space. Dude wanted to do other stuff, completely normal situation.

[@jimjuly6587]

Well said my friend, you are a voice of reason it does not want to assign blame worthiness. Congratulations.

[@michaelj.savino9627]

It’s a shame that ego and bs is killing that beautiful show!

[@theplourde]

Also he said he would do five years and did five years. Also probably got sick of Taylor Sheridan which is very likely.

[@TheDownbeatruler]

Translation - not enough money. At least he didn't say he wanted to spend more time with his family. 😊

[@lancemanyon7645]

He would be on LIV tour if he said that

[@richardmaratea448]

Yellowstone was nothing more than a rip off of Bonanza and Dallas. I watched one season and was done with it. It was boring quite frankly.

[@GUITARTECHify]

Start a job..finish a job... I am disappointed

[@jojomcgee3430]

He left because, I'd bet, more offers are on the table because of Yellowstone. He'll be back on the silver screen soon.

[@zaneplatt3533]

He left because he wanted to do his own thing, which he is literally doing, haha

[@daveg4236]

Soon? Where have you been? Check out Horizon

[@David-vf7if]

He is Yellowstone. I don’t care the why or the how he is leaving and I hope the show is still good but he is the show. The spinoffs are great. We just need some episodes of any of them at this point.

[@dustinjevne9831]

After seeing the lackluster opening weekend numbers for Horizon I can tell you why. Kevin was part of the most popular show on TV, Yellowstone. Everyone like myself loved that show. I was constantly checking to see when the newest season would come out. Until finally, it's reported that Kevin isn't going to do another season. It may have been his divorce, not getting along with Taylor, and/or scheduling conflicts. Here's the thing, it doesn't really matter to the average viewer. He walked away from something people desperately wanted to see, an ending to his character John Dutton. We all needed that closure to move on to the next thing. By not giving that to us, no matter which reason, we were all robbed of all the seasons we had previously watched. That impact is being felt in the theaters with Horizon. Had Kevin finished out Yellowstone I have no doubt Horizon would be a hit right now. But it isn't. It isn't because why would we, the viewer, give him our loyalty again when he didn't finish what he started with Yellowstone? The answer is we won't. Kevin Costner is one of the greatest actors of my lifetime. It's really sad that what people like me will remember is he didn't fulfill his end of the deal finishing Yellowstone. When people invest that much time and emotion into a show, only for him not to finish it, those emotions turn negatively. Which is why I can say, I won't be watching any more of his films. Human beings can be petty and spiteful. Unfortunately that's where I'm at. I'm guessing I'm not alone.

Man that's deep. 🎉

[@rechutriers5592]

Kevin Costner messed that up. Actors once made movies and tv series that people wanted to watch. Now they do their own thing and not for the audience. It’s the downfall of movies and tv series. They think what they want to act in, everyone should like, it’s the opposite. He should be in stuff that we like. I understand he has a right to do whatever but we have a right to stop going to movies and watching tv because it’s down right horrible anymore

[@daltongalloway]

You sound like a baby 🤣

[@oldbisciut84]

It turned into a boringly predictable series. I'm glad he moved on

[@ijdgaf323]

He knows what happened to his John Dutton character.

[@supergrovah2729]

Yeah seriously KK, you couldn't have FINISHED THE 2ND HALF OF THE LAST SEASON???? Not buying it bro. I'm a fan, but like Rich said, I'm a bit gutted here.....

[@sirineomrani9546]

[@asecretone]

If these new films flop he'll be back on Yellowstone eventually

[@damonmiller8118]

Me and my wife went and saw horizon we actually didn't like it at all very long boring had to fight to stay awake the whole movie

[@rickfortune1339]

Its very difficult to Not Respect this Man.
