Yellowstone Season 5's Young John Dutton Return Supports 2 Big Theories
The return of Josh Lucas as young John Dutton in Yellowstone season 5 supports two big theories about the future of the show. Lucas first appeared as the younger version of Kevin Costner's John Dutton in Yellowstone season 1 and then again in season 2, serving to bridge the gap in various story threads, be they the death of his wife, Evelyn (Gretchen Mol), the origin of Rip (Cole Hauser), or the death of his father. Flashbacks are a recurring motif in Yellowstone, which frequently reveals new layers of various characters in the show, giving a better understanding of what led them to their current state in the narrative.
