With Kevin Costner confirmed to sit out of Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, fans wonder if his character John Dutton will die in the series. Following the latest promo release, the question of his fate has been raised prominently, making people unsure about his survival.
Here’s why people think John Dutton could be killed off in Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2.
Could Kevin Costner’s John Dutton Die in Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2?
It is not confirmed as to whether Kevin Costner’s John Dutton dies in Yellowstone Season 5’s second part.
However, the following promo for the upcoming Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 episodes, released on August 28, features Costner’s Dutton, teasing a tragic fate. It brings up the theory of John going out by a tragic fire with Jamie possibly having a hand in it.
The promo kicks off with a declaration: “Generations of blood have led to this.” It then cuts to a montage of pivotal moments from past episodes, showcasing the Dutton family’s rollercoaster ride of joy and heartache. The teaser transitions to haunting images: an empty family table, John Dutton brooding by the fire, and the final shot of the house’s front door closing. These visuals foreshadow a seismic shift for the family and their patriarch.
Jamie’s actions in Season 5’s midseason finale, which involved targeting John and endangering his sister, could be a catalyst for further conflict. His pursuit of his father could escalate, potentially leading to consequences. The question remains: will Jamie’s vendetta extend to destroying his ancestral home in his bid for dominance?
But with Kevin Costner not returning in Season 5 Part 2, and Season 6 being reportedly in the works without him, his character could be killed off-screen in the upcoming episodes. But nothing is confirmed at the moment of writing. More will be revealed when Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 returns on November 10.
