After the doctor’s urgent warning Our prayers are with Kevin Costner

But in June 2024, the newly divorced actor announced he was departing the ranch to be an Arizona homesteader in 2024’s Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1, a box office bomb that he stars and produces.

“After this long year and a half of working on Horizon and doing all the things that that’s required and thinking about Yellowstone…I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue,” the Wyatt Earp star explains to his fans on social media.

“It was something that really changed me. I loved it and I know you loved it. And I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning.”

Weighing in on his announcement, fans expressed their disappointment in the comments section of his social media, some wishing him well and others saying he looks “worn out.”

One writes, “John Dutton was the GOAT; an absolute legend. It won’t be the same without you.” And a second pens, “I am so heartbroken over this.”
