It’s the end of the road for Kevin Costner after he confirmed Thursday that he is done for good with his hit series Yellowstone.
In a short clip shared to his social media accounts on Thursday, the 69-year-old actor and filmmaker made it official that he would not be returning for an appearance on the hit Western crime series when it returns for season 5B.
