Kevin Costner’s departure from Yellowstone presents a challenge for the final season, as his character, John Dutton, is central to the show’s success. However, a prequel series centered around John Dutton could be a solution to keep the franchise alive. Josh Lucas has expressed interest in exploring the character further, and delving into Dutton’s backstory could provide fresh narratives while retaining the essence of Yellowstone. With creator Taylor Sheridan’s talent, a prequel has the potential to be a hit among fans and critics, ensuring the franchise’s legacy continues.
