Yellowstone will end with Season 5, Paramount has announced. At the time of the announcement in early May, the show's final episodes were scheduled to premiere in November 2023, while a currently untitled sequel series was confirmed to be in the works and set to debut in December. However, the writers strike and the actors strike delayed both projects, and Season 5 is now set to return in November 2024.A prequel limited series, 1883, aired on Paramount+ late in 2021, and revealed the origin story of the Dutton family arriving in Montana. The series starred Isabel May as the brave and adventurous teenager Elsa, elder sister to John Dutton's great-grandfather, John Sr., and Tim McGraw as her father, James. Before the actors joined the industrial action, Luke Grimes confirmed the cast hadn't started filming any of the episodes yet.

In May, Paramount said Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 will be released sometime in November. Those episodes will be the show's last, but an as-yet-untitled sequel show is coming in December. Sheridan is also writing a Yellowstone spin-off called 6666, which takes place at the real historic Four Sixes Ranch in Texas (which Sheridan owns) and tells the story of how the ranch has continued to operate in the same way today as it did over a century ago. That spin-off will air on Paramount Network, along with the original show, though it's currently on hold as Sheridan assesses its heritage — as owner, from a front-row seat — to honor its history.

The Sheridan-produced limited series Lawmen: Bass Reeves, starring David Oyelowo as Bass Reeves, was originally expected to exist within the Yellowstone universe as a prequel to 1883, but will now function as its own standalone series. I couldn’t help them anymore," Kevin told THR about a sixth season. "We tried to negotiate, they offered me less money than previous seasons, there were issues with the creative … we came up with a number, and they [ Yellowstone] walked away. I’ve been told it’s a little disappointing that [it’s] the #1 show on TV [and] I’m not participating."

It was announced earlier this year that the upcoming second half of Yellowstone's fifth season will be the show's last outing, following rumours about lead star Kevin Costner's future in the series. While the writers union reached a deal with the studios earlier this year and have now been able to return to work, Yellowstone filming is still postponed indefinitely until the actors and the AMPTP can come together. Yellowstone Season 5 Premiere Review: John Dutton May Be Governor, But the Ranch Remains the Same Yellowstone Season 5 cast I was a hard ass on him," he said. "It's tough love in season four, and I don't think much has changed, but there's a little bit of... Not kindness but a little bit more of... 'Okay, you're doing all the things that I expect you to do, and you're working your ass off, you're trying'. In May 2023, Paramount revealed that Yellowstone would end after its fifth season, and also announced that a Yellowstone sequel was in the works and would premiere in December. No details on the sequel have been announced.Apart from Beth ( Kelly Reilly) and Jamie ( Wes Bentley) potentially plotting to kill each other, John ( Kevin Costner) must come to grips with the fact that the Yellowstone ranch might cost him his legacy. As fans saw in the midseason finale, a bacterial disease called brucellosis threatened to wipe out his cattle, forcing him to send the herd down to Texas. The move may not only put Beth and Rip ( Cole Hauser) closer to a reunion with Jimmy down on the 6666 ranch but leasing the land could potentially bankrupt the Duttons as well. Paramount has announced a new contemporary Yellowstone spin-off series called 2024, which appears to be the highly anticipated Yellowstone follow-up that Matthew McConaughey is in discussions to lead. Sheridan previously indicated that the series might take place in a different location than the flagship show. There's a lot of unfinished business to take care of before the flagship series signs off. Civil war has broken out among the Duttons, with Jamie ( Wes Bentley) and Beth ( Kelly Reilly) at each other's throats, John (Costner) at risk of being impeached, and a devastating illness spreading through Montana wildlife and endangering the Duttons' cattle. He told People: "We have not [started filming the second half of season five] because of the writers’ strike. I think we would be if it weren't for that. But that takes precedence over everything. They got to get that all sorted, and then we'll be getting after it." Meanwhile, in an interview with Extra, Kevin Costner talked about how he identifies with the story in the new season.

And beyond even that, Yellowstone actor Wes Bentley has revealed that showrunner Taylor Sheridan, already has a plan for how the show will end. Before the season premiered, it was announced that Kathryn Kelly, who plays Jimmy's fiancée, Emily, had also been promoted to series regular and returned to the show alongside Jefferson White as Jimmy. So far, they've only appeared in the midseason finale and are happily living and working at the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas. The news that the show will be ending came after months of speculation surrounding the question of whether Kevin Costner would return for the remainder of Season 5 (and a report that claimed Costner would leave the show after Season 5, before the final season news was announced). It still remains unclear how involved Costner will be in the final episodes. But in an eye-opening interview with The Hollywood Reporter in June, Sheridan insisted that his intended ending is still in play, and The Hollywood Reporter says there are ongoing discussions with Costner's camp to film more scenes to wrap up his character.Additionally, Sheridan has previously said he had several more Yellowstone prequels in the works. "[The prequels are] time capsules of life in Montana as a microcosm of the world as a whole," Sheridan told The Hollywood Reporter in June 2023. "They're big spectacles, and the more that you move into the modern era, the bigger that spectacle becomes. I know these are huge bets Paramount makes on me every time. I'm asking them to give me Game of Thrones Season 6 money for what is essentially a pilot every year, and that's a big ask. As long as I do my job well, and people don't bore of the genre, I think there will be enough for many more [prequels] — three or four." 30 fun facts about Yellowstone While we know part 2 of Yellowstone's final season has been delayed, there is no official word on if Kevin Costner will appear in the final episodes.
