Plus: what the series will cover
There’s a Yellowstone shaped hole in our hearts, and there’s still a little while until it will be filled. Here’s everything we know so far about what’s to come, including when the second part of season 5 will debut, plus whether a Yellowstone season 6 is on the cards.
Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2: Plot, Cast, Release Date & More
When Will Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Air?
Part 2 of Yellowstone Season 5 will kick off on 10 November 2024 on Paramount, two years after the first part of the season aired. (At this point, shouldn’t we suck it up and call it Yellowstone season 6?).
Part 2 will consist of six episodes and bring the series to a close, bringing the season’s grand total of episodes to 14.
What Will Happen?
Part 1 of Yellowstone season 5 left us with a huge cliffhanger. John Dutton won the election for governor of Montana and fired almost everyone, hiring Beth as his new chief of staff. But Jamie has his eye on his father’s governorship and it seems he will do anything to get it – perhaps even murder.

What Will Happen To Josh Dutton III?
Interestingly, part two of Yellowstone season 5 won’t feature our protagonist Josh Dutton III after the departure of actor Kevin Costner, who wanted to focus on his own western project. This project – a four-part film called Horizon – was at the centre of a feud between Costner and series creator Taylor Sheridan, with each blaming each other for the part two delay, eventually pushing Costner to pull out of Yellowstone entirely.
So how will this be written into the series? It remains to be seen. One thing we do know, however, is that Costner allegedly has a ‘moral death’ clause written into his contract, which basically means he gets final say on how the Dutton patriarch dies. At first, this was added to prevent Costner being cut out of the series, which almost happened at the end of season 3. But, of course, that is no longer the case – so it’s unclear whether Costner will have exercised his right.
