Yellowstone fans rage over ‘misleading’ final season trailer — ‘It won’t be the same’

The latest teaser for Yellowstone has been released,  providing fans with a tantalizing trailer for the final episodes of Season five. The Paramount Network’s popular series appears set to conclude the Dutton family’s gripping saga following the surprising departure of star Kevin Costner, who portrays the legendary John Dutton.
The new trailer teases a fiery struggle for control of the ranch and gives a glimpse into the Duttons’ shaky alliance with the Broken Rock Reservation. Viewers see Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) making a blood pact with Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), while the conflict between Jamie (Wes Bentley) and Beth (Kelly Reilly) continues to heat up, and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) remains the beloved tough guy.
However, the trailer’s use of reused scenes from previous seasons, including some unseen shots of Costner, has drawn criticism. Fans are upset, arguing that the show “won’t be the same” without Costner, with some accusing Paramount of misleading viewers into believing the A-list actor will return, according to the Mirror.
“So they’re gonna pretend John is in this season (he’s in the trailer a few times)…” a disappointed fan wrote on Reddit. “We all know it’s not gonna be the same without Kevin.”
“Looks to be the same old formula too, Jamie messes up, acts a fool, Monica (Kelsey Asbille) cries, Beth threatens someone…at least Mo (Mo Brings Plenty) is awesome,” reports The Mirror. Following the release of the trailer on YouTube, fans were quick to express their dissatisfaction.A user exclaimed: “Won’t watch it without the man who MADE it. One of the best shows ever so sad.”
Another insisted: “It’s not going to be the same with Costner!!! Yes, Rip is my favorite character but John Dutton is the literal BACKBONE of the entire show and without him I just can’t see it being as good!”

Defending Kevin Costner’s decisions, one person said: “I just wish they could’ve compromised somehow, but I will NEVER blame Kevin Costner for doing what he did!!”To clarify details about the trailer, someone stated: “This trailer uses new and old footage. For those asking why Kevin is seen so much in this trailer, he’s no longer part of the show, but Kevin was the headliner of Yellowstone. He sold the show, and Paramount will continue to use him.”Doubts were raised by another comment: “Why are they trying to pretend like Johns gonna be in this? ” Highlighting potential viewer backlash, a savvy observer commented, “I love how they are pretending Kevin Costner is in it. People are going to be p—-d.”With the return of Yellowstone looming, skepticism runs high among its audience regarding how it will thrive without the pivotal role played by Costner.
