The Oscar-winning actor told the LA Times last year that he never intended to stay on the Western series when he signed up.

“It was going to be 10 episodes, it was going to end there,” he explained.

But, he added, the quality of the material and the fact that the show “ was wonderfully well received ” kept him invested in the story.

Hit: Meanwhile, Costner is set to return in June as John Dutton, the patriarch of a powerful Montana ranching family, in a fourth season of Paramount Network’s Yellowstone.
