After four seasons of fighting off billionaire land developers, politicians and wolves in Big Sky Country, Yellowstone returned last fall with the first part of the fifth and final season — only to leave fans on the edge of their seats with no premiere date for the final episodes. At long last, Dutton Ranch superfans finally have good news: Paramount has announced that the last part of Yellowstone season five will return in 2024, and two more spinoffs are in the works.

You can also buy or rent every season or individual episodes on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and other video-on-demand platforms. Re-runs of Paramount Network’s SAG-nominated drama are currently airing on CBS on Sunday nights to fill out the writers’ strike-affected primetime schedule.

What Is Yellowstone About?
Yellowstone follows the Dutton family, helmed by patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner), as they protect their cattle ranch in Montana against land developers and others at its borders, including America’s first National Park and a Native American reservation. The show is the last scripted original series remaining on Paramount Network, where it debuted in 2018. It also stars Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kesley Asbille, Brecken Merrill and others.
The hit show and its prequels have set TV ratings records for Paramount Network, with Yellowstone‘s fifth season premiere drawing in a record-breaking 12.1 million viewers and the final episode of 1923 attracting 7.4 million viewers. Both prequel series have been confirmed for second seasons, but premiere dates have yet to be announced.
