Kevin Costner left “Yellowstone” to avoid the drama-filled detour… and that’s not a reference to the script.
The actor talks about how his return for the second installment of S5 was so intense that he found his decision to throw in the towel came quite easily. As he explained to THR“It was a necessary decision to say, ‘Hey, OK, I don’t want to talk about this anymore. It’s time to move on.'”

KC also said… “I gave this thing five seasons. I was very happy to do it. And I don’t need the drama. So let’s take that drama out, let’s take the guesswork (out).”
Costner added…his fans have always supported him, and his focus is on creating meaningful content for them rather than getting caught up in Hollywood gossip.
The rumors he is referring to involved multiple reports of conflicting schedules and drama with the “Yellowstone” co-creator. Taylor Sheridan plaguing the production of the hit show.
Kevin’s former co-star Neal McDonoughKevin’s appearance on “TMZ Live” may not have explicitly explained this… but his characterization of Kevin and Taylor’s relationship certainly suggested some tension.

Neal also backed up reports that Kevin was indeed involved with his new Western film, “Horizon: An American Saga.” Given the slow start to production on the final season of “Yellowstone,” he told us that it simply wasn’t feasible for the lead to juggle both projects.

In an IG clip last week, Kevin also confirmed that it would not be sealing for another ride on the ranch like the famous John Dutton.
