Yellowstone is a western drama that focuses on the conflicts along the shared borders of the Yellowstone Ranch, a large cattle ranch, the Broken Rock Indian reservation, Yellowstone National Park and land developers. While there are many westerns available, what makes Yellowstone so special is the themes of mistreatment and struggles of Native Americans, the harsh realities of cowboy living, the consequences of violence and stolen land, and the battle against progress are also clearly depicted in the show. This paved the way for mainstreaming such dark themes. In May 2023, the makers of the show announced that Season 5 of the show will be its last. However, the story will go now in an untitled sequel series. Well, the part 1 of the final season released earlier this year and fans have been waiting for part 2 ever since then. So, when is Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 going to release?
What Will Happen In Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2?
Part 2 of Season 5 was supposed to go on floors in March 2023, however, before filming could begin some drama unfolded between series lead Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan. Reportedly, Costner only wanted to dedicate a single week to filming Part 2, which would be essentially impossible due to the amount of screen time his character, John Dutton, always has had. Apparently, the actor wouldn’t budge in his wishes, which caused tension between him and others, specifically Sheridan.
Due to this tension, the filming date was pushed back. We still don’t know whether the two actors ever came to an agreement. Soon the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes began which made it further impossible for the show to go on floor. Kayce Dutton actor Luke Grimes offered some update on Part 2’s filming schedule. Grimes said, “We have not [started filming the second half of Season 5] 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.”
Paramount’s original plan was to release Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, in November 2023, however, as the final installment hasn’t even been shot yet the release won’t until well into 2024. The release date really depends on when the Hollywood strikes end. The final season of the Kevin Costner starrer was going to be a 14 episodes event. Eight of those episodes are already out in Part 1. So, six of those episodes are pending to get fans proper closure. Here is the list of all the characters expected to come back for Season 5 Part 2:
- Kevin Costner as John Dutton
- Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton
- Wes Bentley as Jamie Dutton
- Kelsey Asbille as Monica Dutton
- Denim Richards as Colby Mayfield
- Jen Landon as Teeter
- Wendy Moniz as Lynelle Perry
- John Emmet Tracy as Ellis Steele
- Ian Bohen as Ryan
- Piper Perabo as Summer Higgins
- Jacki Weaver as Caroline Weaver
