At long last, Yellowstone has lassoed a premiere date for the second half of its fifth and final season. The Western drama’s last episodes will begin Sunday, Nov. 10, at 8/7c, Paramount Network announced Thursday. (Watch a short teaser above.)
Production on Season 5B is currently underway in Montana . By the time Yellowstone returns for its final installments, it will have been off the air for nearly two years, after Season 5A concluded on Jan. 1, 2023.
And it’s been a topsy-turvy hiatus for the series: Before the Writers Guild of America strike began last May, Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan had completed scripts for the back half of Season 5 that did not include star Kevin Costner, after the decision to split Season 5 into two halves interfered with production on Costner’s upcoming feature film Horizon . Amid reports of Costner’s behind-the-scenes demands and tension with Sheridan, Costner has since said he’d “love” to do more Yellowstone , if “I feel really comfortable with it.” ( Update: It was confirmed on June 21 that Costner is not returning .)
Meanwhile, Paramount Network has ordered two more Yellowstone spinoffs : the prequel series 1944 , and the contemporary offshoot 2024 , which will reportedly feature new cast members and locations, as well as crossover characters from the mothership. As of mid-2023, Matthew McConaughey and Michelle Pfeiffer were in talks to headline 2024 , but nothing has been made official. Yellowstone vets Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser and Luke Grimes are also in the conversation for 2024 , where they’d reprise their respective roles as Beth, Rip and Kayce, but their alleged salary demands have reportedly jeopardized their involvement.
