It’s official: Kevin Costner will not be returning to Yellowstone.

The actor posted a video to social media on Thursday in which he confirmed long-mooted speculation that he was done with Paramount+’s monster neo-Western drama Yellowstone.

“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 that’s required,” Costner said at the start of the clip, in reference to the Western film series Horizon: An American Saga, the first part of which premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

He added, “Thinking about Yellowstone, that beloved series that I love, that I know you love. I just realized that I’m not going to be able to continue, season five or into the future.”

Regarding Yellowstone, Costner said the show “was something that really changed me.” “I loved it and I know you loved it, and I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning. I love the relationship we’ve been able to develop, and I’ll see you at the movies.”
