The hit Paramount series is coming to an end this fall after just five seasons. And though most of the cast will be reprising their roles for the final farewell, series lead Kevin Costner has already confirmed that he is definitely not coming back to the show.

“I just want to reach out and let you know that after this long year and a half of working on Horizon and doing all the things that’s required and thinking about Yellowstone , that beloved series that I love, that I know you love,” he announced in a video. “I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue, Season 5B or into the future.”

Costner’s exit did not come as much of a surprise considering there were several rumors alluding to the actor’s behind-the-scenes drama with series creator Taylor Sheridan .

Ultimately, Costner said it was the show’s heavy delays that pushed him to exit the series early. “We very rarely started when we said we would and we didn’t finish when we said we would,” he said . “And I was okay with that. I really was. I was okay with it, but it wasn’t a trend that could continue for me.”

Though this may be the end of Yellowstone , Sheridan has multiple spin-off series in the works.

Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2 premieres on Paramount Network Nov. 10 at 8/7C.
