‘Yellowstone’ Reveals Premiere Date for Final Episodes — See the Teaser!
Yellowstone fans, rejoice! Paramount Network has revealed the much-anticipated premiere date for the second half of Season 5.
When Does Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Premiere?
In a press release Thursday (June 20), the network revealed that Yellowstone will premiere on Paramount on Sunday, Nov. 10, at 8PM ET.
The news comes after a long delay between the first half of Season 5 and the new episodes, which are slated to bring the beloved modern Western to a close.
Why Did Yellowstone Get Delayed?
Yellowstone aired the first half of Season 5 in late 2022, but the second half got delayed for more than a year amid scheduling conflicts with series creator Taylor Sheridan's long roster of other shows.
Those conflicts led to a very public feud between Sheridan and series star Kevin Costner, who ended up departing the show. Sheridan subsequently decided to pull the plug on more seasons and wrap the series after the end of Season 5.
Is Kevin Costner Returning to Yellowstone?
Costner revealed in 2023 that he was no longer under contract to Yellowstone, and Sheridan said in a subsequent interview that he was working around Costner's absence. However, a potential lawsuit Costner alluded to over his pay-or-play deal for future seasons has not happened, and Costner has said publicly that he'd still like to work things out, leading to online speculation that he will return to wrap the character of Dutton patriarch John Dutton.
Is Yellowstone Currently Shooting Season 5?
Yes. Forrie J. Smith — who plays Lloyd on Yellowstone — confirmed that filming was finally underway for the second half of Season 5 in a post to social media in May.
Cole Hauser, who plays Yellowstone foreman Rip Wheeler, turned to social media just days after to confirm he was back in Montana, where the show films:
A new Yellowstone sequel will reportedly follow the end of the series, with Matthew McConaughey rumored to star. His participation is not confirmed.
