It’s official: “Yellowstone” will be wrapping up its fifth and final season later this year.
The series, co-created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, centers on John Dutton (Kevin Costner), an aging rancher who spends his life maintaining and protecting his family’s land and legacy in the face of myriad threats.
The first eight episodes of season five began airing on the Paramount Network in late 2022 before the cliffhanger midseason finale dropped on January 1, 2023.
Since then, fans of the series have been desperately waiting to find out what happens next — but the show has faced setback after setback.
First, reports of a falling out between Costner and Sheridan suggested the show would be coming to a premature end with what has aired so far because the two couldn’t agree on the shooting schedule for new episodes.
Paramount then announced “Yellowstone” would officially conclude with the second half of the fifth season, which was scheduled to air in the fall of 2023. However, the Hollywood writers’ strike that began in May and the actors’ strike in July delayed production further.
On May 20, Paramount announced that “Yellowstone” had begun filming in Montana. And on June 20, the network confirmed that the Dutton family saga will come to a close this year, with the final batch of episodes set to premiere on November 10.
Here’s everything we know about “Yellowstone” season 5, part 2 so far.
