Filming has commenced on the second part of Yellowstone’s fifth and final season in Montana after facing production delays last year. The modern Western drama created by Taylor Sheridan revolves around the Dutton family as they fight to preserve their Montana ranch from various threats. The show features an ensemble cast including Kevin Costner, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, and Kelsey Asbille.
The release date for the second part of Yellowstone Season 5 is expected to be in November 2024. The first eight episodes aired between November 2022 and January 2023, with the second part set to wrap up the story. Paramount Network has not yet announced the exact premiere date for the remaining episodes and fans are eagerly awaiting further details.
The final season of Yellowstone will conclude with a total of six episodes, but creator Taylor Sheridan revealed that Paramount is open to extending it to ten episodes if needed. Most of the main cast members are expected to return for the series finale, except for Kevin Costner, who may or may not make an appearance. Characters like Beth, Jamie, Kayce, and Monica Dutton are likely to be featured in the concluding part.
There has been speculation about Kevin Costner’s return to Yellowstone, with no confirmation as of May 2024. Costner expressed his desire to finish the series and shed light on the misunderstandings between him, the show’s creator, and Paramount that led to last year’s delays. His commitment to another project, Horizon, clashed with Yellowstone’s schedule, resulting in disagreements over production timelines and causing him to miss out on the series at that time.
Paramount Network announced the conclusion of Yellowstone after Season 5 due to scheduling conflicts with Kevin Costner. The network also revealed plans for two spinoff series, 1994 and 2024, to expand the Yellowstone franchise. Matthew McConaughey was in talks to star in one of the spinoffs, potentially bringing some original cast members to the new show. Updates on the future of the Yellowstone universe and the fate of Costner’s involvement in the series are awaited.
