Key Points:
- Kevin Costner's departure from Yellowstone after three seasons was planned from the start, as confirmed by the show's creator Taylor Sheridan.
- Costner's character, John Dutton, was originally intended to hand over the ranch to his son by the end of season three, but this storyline was extended.
- The network pushed for Costner to stay on for two additional seasons despite his readiness to leave, due to concerns about the show's success without him.
- Ultimately, John Dutton's death and the ranch's fate occur in season five, aligning with the original narrative arc but delayed for network reasons.
