“Hi everyone. I just want to reach out and let you know that after this long year and a half of working on Horizon and doing all the things that's required, and thinking about Yellowstone — that beloved series that I love — that I know you love. I just realized that I'm not going to be able to continue Season 5b or into the future,” he shared.
“It was something that really changed me. I loved it, and I know you loved it,” he continued. “I love the relationship we've been able to develop, and I'll see you at the movies.”
