Yellowstone Season 5 Ending Tease Adds Fresh Evidence To John Dutton Dying Theories

A new tease from Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly about the show’s ending makes John Dutton’s death all the more likely. Yellowstone has become an unparalleled success, with the modern-day Western from creator Taylor Sheridan having run for five seasons and produced many spinoffs. It certainly helped Yellowstone in its early years that it had a genuine movie icon in Kevin Costner, who plays Dutton family patriarch John. Despite the show’s success, behind-the-scenes issues between Sheridan and Costner and the latter’s focus on directing his multi-part film project Horizon led him to announce his exit from Yellowstone.
