Paramount Plus has announced that the final episodes of Yellowstone season five premieres later this year on November 10 at 8pm ET/PT, just as Kevin Costner revealed he’s hanging up his cowboy boots for good.
Yellowstone season five has been on hold since 2022, when the first eight episodes aired. Now the final six episodes of one of the best Paramount Plus shows are in production after a long delay due to the Hollywood strikes.
However, Costner announced in a video on social media (see below) that he will no longer be in the saddle as Montana rancher John Dutton III for part two of the fifth and final season of the hit Western.

According to him, his beloved character made Costner one of the highest-paid actors on TV Variety and generated two prequel series, including 1883 And 1923. Despite his love for the series, Costner said he was now focused on making it Horizon: an American saga, his new series of western films.
These comments come just days after Costner suggested he might return to… Yellowstone “under the right circumstances” to today. However, Costner has officially dashed any hopes of a return with his video on social media.
Yellowstone season five part two – what we know so far
Yellowstone focuses on the Dutton family ranch, which is in constant conflict with its neighbors, including a growing city, an Indian reservation, and Yellowstone National Park.
Since Yellowstone season five part two continues without Costner, it is currently unknown whether John Dutton’s storyline will have a happy ending. However, we do know that most of the cast will be reprising their roles, including Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, Kelly Reilly as Bethany Dutton, Wes Bentley as Jamie Dutton, Kelsey Asbille as Monica Long Dutton, Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler, Gil Birmingham as Chief Thomas Rainwater and more.
although Yellowstone series creator Taylor Sheridan said The Hollywood Reporter In June 2023, part two of season five could consist of more episodes. It’s planned to consist of six episodes, so we don’t expect that to change.
