Yellowstone now has a confusing timeline after stretching across an entire year to reach the second half of its final season. The acclaimed American drama from famed producer Taylor Sheridan has also gone through quite a rough patch before returning to television with another noteworthy achievement in terms of viewership.

Sadly, the show's return on November 10, 2024, meant it also explained how John Dutton (Kevin Costner) is not a part of the story anymore. As hard-hitting as it may sound, this is how the show will continue and wrap up after the sudden and rather dramatic exit of the series star Kevin Costner.

For those who are unclear about where Yellowstone is, the latest episode that premiered on November 10, 2024, is the ninth episode of the fifth season. This can also be classified as season 5 part 2 or season 5 B. It feels a little disorienting because the eighth episode of the season aired long ago on January 2023.

There will be five more episodes of Yellowstone season 5 part 2, which will wrap up the saga for good. There are no plans for more seasons after this one concludes.


Yellowstone season 5 part 2 delay left room for confusion

The primary element that stood out in the fifth season of the Kevin Costner-led show was the long gap between the first and second half of the season. The fifth season of the Paramount show was always supposed to be bigger and bolder, but it also became confusing.

The eighth episode was released on January 1, 2023, with the promise that the next half would come out later that year. However, 2023 was plagued by the WGA strike and the SAG-AFTRA strike, which brought all work to a standstill. This meant that, like most shows, Yellowstone also got delayed.

However, following the strikes, which already pushed back the release date, the show also suffered from some negative developments, including Kevin Costner's exit, which was a huge differential for the show.

This meant that they had to find a way to work around without the primary character, which took some more time. Ultimately, the second half of the season arrived with its premiere episode on November 10, 2024. It will air every following Sunday till December 15, 2024, set to conclude the story for good.


Where to watch Yellowstone season 5 part 2?

The new episodes of Yellowstone season 5 part 2 will air at 8 pm EST on Paramount Network. The second season's premiere also aired on CBS at 10 pm EST.

In what may be surprising to many fans, there are not many options to stream the show's latest season yet. Paramount+ does not own the right to the show, and Peacock only has the previous seasons of the show available for streaming.

This means that even if fans see the latest season on Peacock, it won't be anytime soon. So, the only possible way to watch the new episodes of the show is on the network.


Yellowstone season 5 part 2's upcoming episodes will continue premiering on the coming Sundays. Stay tuned for more updates.
