“I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning,” he told me. “I love the relationship we’ve been able to develop, and I’ll see you at the movies.”
Costner recently appeared on Howard Stern’s show, saying he would only return if “the planets want to align up.”
“Which means the storylines, the scripts and then I want to work more than once a year,” stated Costner. “To accomplish this, specific times must be set aside. When that isn’t possible, that doesn’t work for me anymore.”
He also informed Stern that he spoke with the show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan.

“We both said what was important to us, and it doesn’t seem like we can [work things out],” says Costner. “My whole life has been about am I gonna stand tall even in some desperate situation where it doesn’t work for me.”
Costner originated the role of John Sutton and stated that he was certain the series could continue without him. He co-wrote, co-produced, directed, and starred in the first “Horizon” picture.
