After strikes, production delays, and a media frenzy swirling around its main star, Paramount Network has finally announced when the second part of Yellowstone Yellowstone’s fifth and final season will be released. Read on to learn everything you need to know about Yellowstone Season 5, part 2, and the latest on Kevin Costner’s involvement.
Yellowstone is Paramount Network’s modern-day Western drama created by Taylor Sheridan (Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown). The show centers around the Duttons, the owners of the largest ranch in Montana, and follows the family’s struggles to protect their land from land developers, an Indian Reservation, political rivals, and other threats. Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille and more star.
Last May, Paramount announced that Yellowstone was ending after Season 5. The network also revealed that it green-lit two spinoff series, 1994 and 2024, to join its growing franchise — which already consists of 1883, 1923, Lawmen: Bass Reeves and the upcoming 6666 series. Matthew McConaughey was in talks to star in one of the upcoming spinoff series, potentially bringing some of the original cast to the new show. However, it’s unknown whether that’s still happening.
Filming for Yellowstone’s fifth and final season commenced in May. Costner told People in June that he would be open to returning to finish the series — but only under certain conditions. “I’ve always felt that…It might be an interesting moment to come back and finish the mythology of this modern-day family,” the Horizon star explained. “And if that happens, I would step into it if I agreed with how it was being done.”
Yellowstone is returning whether Costner is involved or not. Here’s when the final batch of episodes will debut on Paramount.
