Kevin Costner ’s time with the hit Paramount series “ Yellowstone ” could be coming to an end.

According to sources, Costner could potentially exit the series on which he has played John Dutton since it launched in 2018.

Sources also say that discussions are underway for a new expansion of the “Yellowstone” franchise that would feature several characters from the mothership show with Matthew McConaughey in talks to star.

Kevin Costner is a big part of Yellowstone and we hope that’s the case for a long time to come,” a Paramount Network spokesperson said in a statement.

“Thanks to the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan, we are always working on franchise expansions of this incredible world he has built.

The series began airing the first half of the season, which consisted of eight episodes, back in November.
