Yellowstone season 5 part 2 release date speculation: When does Yellowstone return? (2024)

So now it's official, Yellowstone season 5 part 2 will mark the end of the long-running series. In a new update, Paramount confirmed the news, an estimated release date, and a series of spin-offs on the way too. But just when are we finally going to return to the Yellowstone ranch with John Dutton and the gang? Well, read on for your complete guide to Yellowstone season 5 part 2.

For a long time, the show was on hiatus thanks to the WGA strikes and the SAG-AFTRA strikes. While the former has ended, the second is still ongoing, but it seems that hasn't stopped the creators from deciding on an approximate release date.

Below, we cover everything from the news of the cancellation, when we might be able to expect Yellowstone season 5, episode 9, and all of the details on how you can watch the show on the Paramount Network,Paramount Plus, or wherever else you're streaming from.

We've also got a guide tohow many episodes are in Yellowstone season 5to help keep you on track.

When does Yellowstone season 5 return to Paramount Network and Paramount Plus?

Yellowstone season 5 episode 9 will air on the Paramount Network in November 2024.

We don't have an exact date just yet, but we expect it will be back on a Sunday evening, as all previous seasons have been.

This is much later than the previous plan for the show's final episode. In a trailer earlier this year, it was announced that it would return in summer 2023. Then another report from Deadline, it was announced the show would be back in November 2023. Now, we know, it's a year later.

The delays were likely caused by the strikes, as actor Luke Grimes alluded to in an interview with People back in July. "We have not [started filming the second half of season five] because of the writers’ strike," he explained. "I think we would be if it weren't for that. But that takes precedence over everything. They got to get that all sorted, and then we'll be getting after it."

When it does come back, it will likely continue to air on Sunday evenings at 8pm ET/PT. Viewers will need to have a cable subscription that includes the channel. If you have one, you will also be able to stream the show online at ParamountNetwork.com with your cable account details.

It will not be immediately available on Paramount Plus, Hulu, or Netflix in the US. Other options for watching the show include subscriptions to places like Sling TV or Fubo TV, which have packages that include the Paramount Network channel.

Viewers in the UK will not have to wait much longer when the show returns in the US. The new episodes will air on Mondays on Paramount Plus from midnight GMT, as this is when new content is usually uploaded. In order to watch Yellowstone season 5, you will need a Paramount Plus subscription, which costs £6.99 per month.
