Yellowstone is a popular Western drama that has kept fans glued to their screens for years. With its gripping plotlines, complex characters, and scenic landscapes, it’s no wonder why the fans just love this show. As we eagerly await Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2, there’s a lot to cover from the release date and cast updates to many details about the ongoing Dutton family drama.
Let’s dive into everything you need to know before the new episodes hit our screens.
When is Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 Coming?
The long wait is almost over. After a long pause since January 2023, Yellowstone will return with the second half of Season 5 on Sunday, November 10, 2024, at 8/7c on Paramount Network. If you’re in Canada, you can catch the show on Paramount+ the same day. The U.K. release is slated for November 11, while fans in Latin America, Brazil, and France will have to wait a bit longer for their release dates.
This means that fans have been waiting almost two years to see how the explosive events of Season 5 Part 1 unfold. The long gap was caused by production delays and strikes in Hollywood, but at least we know the finish line is in sight.
Yellowstone on CBS?
Here’s a fun surprise: CBS will air the Season 5 Part 2 premiere on the same day it debuts on Paramount. It’s a clever move to reach a wider audience since CBS already aired the first three seasons of Yellowstone during the 2023 actor and writer strikes. So, if you don’t have Paramount, no worries because you can catch the action on CBS.
Is Kevin Costner Returning?
The Cast and What to Expect in the Plot
Is Kevin Costner Returning?
This might be the biggest question on every fan’s mind. Sadly, no. Kevin Costner, who plays the beloved John Dutton, will not be returning for Part 2 of Season 5. Costner has moved on to other projects, specifically a Western film series called Horizon. Although Costner’s departure is a huge blow, Yellowstone has a strong cast that will continue to carry the show forward.

Who’s Returning to the Ranch?
Despite the absence of Costner, the rest of the cast is more than ready to keep the drama going:
- Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton
- Wes Bentley as Jamie Dutton
- Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler
- Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton
- Kelsey Asbille as Monica Dutton
On top of that, some fan-favorites and new characters are also back:
- Josh Lucas reprises his role as young John Dutton.
- Kylie Rogers returns as young Beth, along with Kyle Red Silverstein as young Rip.
- Kai Caster plays Rowdy, a young cowboy.
- Lainey Wilson stars as Abby, a musician.
If you thought the cast couldn’t get bigger, more faces have been promoted to series regulars. Keep an eye out for Mo Brings Plenty (Thomas Rainwater’s right-hand man) and Jen Landon (Teeter).
What’s the Plot for Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2?
Let’s get to the heart of the matter, what can we expect from the plot? When we last left the Dutton family, things were heating up (and I don’t just mean because of the Montana summer). The Dutton family civil war between Jamie and Beth is at its peak, with John Dutton caught in the middle. Jamie and Beth have never been best friends, but it seems like this time, their rivalry could end in a real disaster.
The first trailer for Part 2 teased intense moments, with Jamie declaring, “You destroy me, you destroy yourself.” Whether Beth and Jamie can survive this war remains to be seen, but you can be sure sparks will fly.
Will John Dutton Be Impeached?
John Dutton, the powerful yet controversial governor of Montana, finds himself on shaky ground. His enemies are circling, and the possibility of impeachment looms large. But with Costner’s departure, many fans are wondering how John Dutton’s story will wrap up. Will the character die off-screen? Or will his fate be left open-ended for a possible future cameo? Only time will tell.
What About Rip and Beth’s Relationship?
On a lighter note, one of the biggest joys for Yellowstone fans has been the relationship between Rip Wheeler and Beth Dutton. Part 2 is expected to show more about their marriage and how they navigate the ongoing chaos in their lives.
New Threats to the Dutton Ranch
On top of the family drama, the ranch itself is in jeopardy due to a disease affecting the cattle. If that wasn’t enough, the ongoing corporate battle with Market Equities continues, with Jacki Weaver returning as Caroline Warner, the CEO out to destroy the Duttons’ land.
Conclusion: Is This Really the End?
As of now, Yellowstone Season 5 is supposed to be the final season of the series. However, rumors have surfaced that stars Kelly Reilly (Beth) and Cole Hauser (Rip) are in talks for a potential Season 6. So, even though we might be saying goodbye to Kevin Costner, there could still be more Yellowstone in our future.
Whatever happens, Season 5 Part 2 promises to be full of twists, turns, and wild moments just like every good Western. So, mark your calendars for November 10, and get ready to head back to the Dutton Ranch.
