After months of rumors circulating regarding Yellowstone star Kevin Costner’s status, Paramount Network’s confirmed this current season of the popular drama will be the show’s final season. The first eight episodes of season five aired from November 2022 to January 1, 2023. The final season five episodes will kick off in November.
Paramount’s Yellowstone announcement included the news that an untitled Yellowstone sequel will premiere in December. The sequel’s been given a straight-to-series order, however, Paramount didn’t announce any casting details or event hint at the story. Matthew McConaughey has been in talks to star, and it’s likely at least some of the Yellowstone cast will show up in the sequel.
“Yellowstone has been the cornerstone on which we have launched an entire universe of global hits – from 1883 to Tulsa King, and I am confident our Yellowstone sequel will be another big hit, thanks to the brilliant creative mind of Taylor Sheridan and our incredible casts who bring these shows to life,” stated Chris McCarthy, President & CEO Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios.
In addition to Kevin Costner as John Dutton, Yellowstone season five stars Luke Grimes as Kayce, Kelly Reilly as Beth, Wes Bentley as Jamie, and Cole Hauser as Rip. Kelsey Asbille stars as Monica, Brecken Merrill is Tate, Jefferson White plays Jimmy, Forrie Smith is Lloyd, Denim Richards is Colby, Ian Bohen is Ryan, Finn Little is Carter, Ryan Bingham is Walker, and Gil Birmingham is Thomas Rainwater.
Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water) and John Linson created Yellowstone and serve as executive producers along with Costner, Art Linson, David C. Glasser, Bob Yari, Stephen Kay and Christina Voros.
“The Dutton story continues, picking up where Yellowstone leaves off in another epic tale. We are thrilled to bring this new journey to audiences around the world,” said David Glasser, CEO, 101 Studios.

Yellowstone chronicles the Dutton family, led by John Dutton (Costner), who controls the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States.
