As a cinephile with over three decades of experience in the industry and countless hours spent dissecting complex narratives, I must admit that “Yellowstone” has consistently managed to keep me on the edge of my seat. The recent twist in Season 5, Episode 9, which saw John Dutton‘s (Kevin Costner) untimely demise, is a testament to the show’s knack for delivering gripping storylines and shocking twists.
🚨 WARNING: This discussion pertains to “Yellowstone” Season 5 Episode 9 titled “Desire Is All You Need,” and may reveal plot details that you haven’t seen yet. Proceed with caution if you wish to avoid spoilers! 🚨
Thank you for your service, John Dutton.
In the opening episode of Season 5’s second part, it became clear that John Dutton, the Dutton family head portrayed by Kevin Costner, met his untimely end from a lethal gunshot in the governor’s mansion’s bathroom in Montana. However, Costner’s face is not shown at the crime scene as there lies a bloody corpse of an older man instead.
On the occasion when John is tardy for his initial impeachment hearing, which was sparked by his calculating son Jamie (Wes Bentley), Beth (Kelly Reilly) and Kayce (Luke Grimes) hastily arrive. Upon arrival, Beth instantly accuses their father’s demise on Jamie, whereas Kayce finds it inconceivable that he played a part in it.
In the latest episode of “Yellowstone”, it’s revealed that Jamie, who earlier had a conversation with Sarah (Dawn Olivieri) about having Beth killed, receives a cryptic phone call suggesting that John has been killed. Later, Jamie, in his role as Montana attorney general, calls a heart-wrenching press conference to announce John’s death, claiming it was a suicide.
The stunning news leaves Beth and Kayce speechless, as they head towards the Yellowstone ranch to reassess their plans upon hearing it. They can hardly believe their father could take such a drastic step – taking his own life. This enigma promises to be pivotal in the second part of Season 5.
From the start of “Yellowstone”, Costner has been a consistent presence. However, whispers about his potential exit from the series began in February 2023, as there were concerns that Costner’s worry over the conflicting shooting schedules for “Yellowstone” and his film series “Horizon” might lead to his departure after the first half of Season 5. By June 2024, Costner confirmed he would not be returning to the show.
In the meantime, the initial movie of the “Horizon” series premiered in cinemas in June 2024 but flopped at the box office, causing the second installment’s theater release to be delayed.
Even though Costner is no longer a regular cast member, he’s still listed first among the main actors in the show’s opening credits. Additionally, he appears in the closing credits due to his role as an executive producer.
