Actor Kevin Costner is reportedly not returning to the hit TV show Yellowstone.
Reports surfaced Wednesday that the star wouldn’t return to the fan-favourite Western series after season five.
The news comes a day after Costner’s wife of 19 years, Christine Baumgartner, filed for divorce.
Reports also indicate there was drama brewing between the actor and the co-creator of the Paramount series, Taylor Sheridan, over Costner’s commitments to filming the remaining episodes of the current season.
There is also allegedly no update on when the cast and crew will return to Montana, where the series is filmed, to finish season five.
Yellowstone‘s new season was expected to return this summer, but it’s unclear whether filming has been completed.

The show launched in 2018 to rave reviews, gathering 33 Emmy nominations and seven wins.
Costner is best known for his role in the show, as well as 1990’s Dances with Wolves and 1992’s The Bodyguard.
He was also the parade marshal for last year’s Calgary Stampede parade and played with his band, Kevin Costner and Modern West at the Big Four Roadhouse.
