Why did Kevin Costner leave ‘Yellowstone’?

Costner played John Dutton since the show’s 2018 Paramount Network premiere, but announced in June that he would not return for what were billed as the final episodes.

Costner told USA TODAY he was weary of hoping for a “Yellowstone” return when asked about the series during his extended media tour promoting his “Horizon” Western film series.

“Just with all the questions that were asked (about ‘Yellowstone’), the more I thought about it … I just wanted to say this is a step away,” Costner said. “What I had hoped for was maybe not in the cards. I don’t want to keep saying, ‘Yeah, I hope I can do it’. It’s drifted to a place that I no longer think is realistic.”

Who died on ‘Yellowstone’?

Colby Mayfield, one of Dutton’s ranch hands, was the latest “Yellowstone” character to lose his life during Season 5, Episode 12, Sunday, Dec. 1. People magazineMayfield’s death was a “freak accident” when Mayfield was trampled by a horse while helping an inexperienced cowboy named Carter.

Who is Colby from ‘Yellowstone’?

Colby Mayfield, played by Denim Richards, is a ranch hand who received the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch badge in Season 3 after helping Rip Wheeler and the other hands take out Wade Morrow and his son, Clint, per the show’s fandom site.

Mayfield, the only black character on “Yellowstone,” was originally from Birmingham, Alabama, and has family in New Mexico. USA TODAY reports that he was getting serious with bunkhouse love Teeter (Jennifer Landon). The two cutely stumbled into “I love you” territory over the phone in a recent episode.

Why did they kill Colby on ‘Yellowstone’?

“Yellowstone” director Christina Voros told The Hollywood Reporter that Mayfield’s death kept the series “grounded”.

“In a season where there are all these twists and dark forces and giant narrative swings, Colby’s death is so powerful because it’s so simple,” Voros explained. “For anyone who really understands the cowboy lifestyle and working with animals and the risks of the job — and Rip says that about himself — it’s a dangerous job and this kind of thing happens and it happens in a split second.”

Is Bella Hadid in ‘Yellowstone’?

Yes, model Bella Hadid appears in “Yellowstone” season 5, episode 13. According to ScreenRant, when Beth Dutton travels to Texas, she visits the home of Travis Wheatley, a cowboy and horse trainer. However, it is Wheatley’s girlfriend Sadie, played by Hadid, who opens the door and assumes that Dutton is a masseuse.

“Do I look like a f—–g masseur,” Dutton asks.

“A very expensive one,” Sadie replies.

Screen Rant states that Hadid’s addition to the show makes sense given her background as an equestrian. She also grew up on a ranch in Santa Barbara, California, and has since moved to Texas to be with her boyfriend Adan Banuelos, a cowboy and horse trainer.

However, Hadid’s role has been met with controversy, as some fans believe that as Screen Rant notesit “doesn’t really do much for the overall plot of the show,” which is soon to conclude during the final episode on Sunday night.

Will ‘Yellowstone’ get a spinoff series?

Yes, Reilly and Wheeler have inked deals to reprise their characters in a new “Yellowstone” spinoff, according to USA TODAY. The new series will reportedly include “Yellowstone” in its title.
