Costner also talked about the end of the series, admitting he’s thought about how the story of his character wraps up, adding that Dutton “needs to be proactive in what happens and I’ve kind of had my own fantasy how it might be.”

Last year, rumors surfaced that Costner was leaving the show at the height of its popularity. He recently opened up about what caused his departure from the popular series over a scheduling conflict.
“Somewhere along the line they wanted to change things,” Costner said of the “Yellowstone” filming process. “They wanted to do 5A and 5B … affected ‘Horizon.’ I was going to do my movie ‘Horizon’ and leave that show, do my movie, then do B. A show I was only doing once a year I was now doing twice.”
Costner said Paramount “walked away” from negotiations. “We did negotiate. There were issues about creative. I tried to break the log jam. They walked away.”
Last year, production was halted in the second half of the season due to Costner’s scheduling conflicts — followed by the writers’ and actors’ strikes, as previously reported.
“Horizon: An American Saga” will hit theaters in two parts, with Chapter One coming out June 28, followed by Chapter Two on August 16.
