While reflecting on his departure, he expressed his desire to return for the final season but acknowledged the challenges posed by the show’s production schedule and the availability of other projects. Costner stated, “I’d like to be able to do it, but we haven’t been able to… I thought I was going to make seven [seasons] but right now we’re at five. So how it works out, I hope it does, but they’ve got a lot of different shows going on. Maybe it will. Maybe this will circle back to me. If it does and I feel really comfortable with [it], I’d love to do it.”
