In Season 1, John Dutton kept his cancer diagnosis a secret from his children, but eventually, they found out and he underwent a successful operation to remove it, as noted by the New York Post. In Season 2, the show tricked viewers into thinking the cancer had returned, only to reveal that Dutton had a ruptured ulcer. Fans speculate that this fake-out could foreshadow his character’s demise, leaving his children to unite and save the family’s land and legacy.
This potential exit would also align with Costner’s reported “moral death clause” in his contract, ensuring that his character’s death would not bring shame or embarrassment, as mentioned by Puck.
Earlier this year, rumors circulated about Costner’s departure from the show, and he recently revealed that scheduling conflicts were the cause. Paramount allegedly walked away from negotiations, leaving Costner to pursue other projects. Production delays and the subsequent strike further complicated matters, as previously reported.
Since its debut in 2018, “Yellowstone” has garnered numerous award nominations, with Costner winning a Golden Globe in 2023, marking a significant achievement for the show, according to TV Insider.

The possibility of Costner’s character dying from colon cancer has left fans divided. While some believe it would add an emotional and realistic aspect to the show, others are vehemently against the idea.

One fan commented, “I will not watch the show anymore if they kill off John Dutton like that. It’s such a cheap way to write him off.” Another fan countered, “If they want to keep the show authentic and true to life, they should portray the harsh realities of cancer. It would bring a whole new layer of depth to the storyline.”
As with any fan theory, there is speculation and uncertainty surrounding the outcome. Some fans have suggested alternative endings, such as John Dutton retiring peacefully or passing on the ranch to one of his children. However, many viewers are putting their faith in the show’s creator and writer, Taylor Sheridan, to provide a compelling and fitting conclusion for Kevin Costner’s beloved character.
