Yellowstone

There’s a ton of new TV to watch this weekend, so get comfy, people!

The Season 3 premiere of Power Book III: Raising Kanan is now streaming on Starz, the second season of Kitty Flanagan’s Australian comedy Fisk is available to binge on Netflix, and the first two episodes of the Sebastian Maniscalco-led dark comedy Bookie are now on Max. And we didn’t even mention the action comedy Obliterated (Netflix), Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God (Max), and the buzzy new docuseries Bad Surgeon: Love Under the Knife (Netflix).

You might be saying to yourself, “Sure, that’s great, but what about Yellowstone?!” There’s no new episode of your favorite Western saga tonight, but CBS will once again be airing Season 2 episodes in prime time (more on that below). When exactly will Yellowstone return with new episodes? Here’s everything you need to know, partner.

Is Yellowstone on Tonight (12/03/23)?

Yellowstone isn’t airing on Paramount Network tonight. The network is broadcasting an Ocean’s franchise marathon, with Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, and Ocean’s Thirteen airing from 4:00 p.m. ET to 12:30 a.m. ET.

CBS, however, will be airing back-to-back Season 2 episodes of Yellowstone (“Enemies by Monday” and “Sins of the Father”) starting at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Where To Watch Yellowstone Online:

All five seasons of Yellowstone are available on Peacock Premium. You can also stream select Season 5 episodes on-demand via the Paramount Network website, fuboTV, Sling TV (the $6/month “Comedy Extra” add-on), Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Philo, or DIRECTV STREAM.

Finally, individual episodes and complete seasons of Yellowstone are available to purchase on Amazon.

When Does Yellowstone Return With New Episodes on Paramount Network?

Next year. Last month, Paramount Network announced that Yellowstone will return for the second half of Season 5 in November 2024. The network also revealed that two new Yellowstone spinoffs — 1944 and 2024 — are forthcoming.

No plot details for 1944 or 2024 were announced, but Variety reports that 2024 is expected to begin airing following the conclusion of Yellowstone, with the show featuring “new cast members and locations with some crossover characters as well.” This is the series that would most likely include Matthew McConaughey, who’s been rumored to star in a Yellowstone spinoff since April.

The second half of Season 5 was originally supposed to consist of six episodes, but during a June 2023 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sheridan said that he might write more than the previously reported six installments. “If I think it takes ten episodes to wrap it up, they’ll give me ten,” he said. “It’ll be as long as it needs to be.”

Is Kevin Costner Leaving Yellowstone?

Production on the second half of Season 5 has yet to begin, so Costner’s level of involvement in the remaining episodes remains a mystery. The actor revealed in a September court trial that he was initially offered $24 million to do Seasons 5, 6, and 7 of Yellowstone but there were “issues with creative.”

Per Deadline, another source of contention centered around the star’s shooting schedule. Costner reportedly wanted more time to spend on his upcoming multi-part Western movie Horizon: An American Saga, a film in which he starred, directed, co-wrote, and produced.

The situation remains in flux — Costner said in September that he’ll “probably go to court” over his Yellowstone exit — so it’s safe to say that he almost certainly won’t be involved in future spinoffs.
