YELLOWSTONE: SEASON FIVE, PART 1

Product Information

Sheridan is also writing a Yellowstone spin-off called 6666, which takes place at the real historic Four Sixes ranch in Texas (which Sheridan owns) and tells the story of how the ranch has continued to operate in the same way today as it did over a century ago. That spin-off will air on Paramount Network, along with the original show.

Four new characters join Yellowstone in Season 5 as well. Kai Caster plays a young cowboy named Rowdy. Lainey Wilson is playing a musician named Abby. Lilli Kai plays Clara Brewer, Gov. Dutton's new assistant. And 1883's Dawn Olivieri joins the cast as Sarah Atwood, a Montana newcomer and "corporate shark," according to the official character description. There's a lot of unfinished business to take care of before the flagship series signs off. Civil war has broken out among the Duttons, with Jamie ( Wes Bentley) and Beth ( Kelly Reilly) at each other's throats, John (Costner) at risk of being impeached, and a devastating illness spreading through Montana wildlife and endangering the Duttons' cattle.Co-created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, the series has featured an all-star guest cast including Danny Huston, Gretchen Mol, Lost's Josh Holloway, Piper Perabo and singer Faith Hill in the first four seasons. While no cast details have been confirmed, based on how part 1 left off, the Yellowstone season 5 part 2 cast may include: While the writers union reached a deal with the studios earlier this year and have now been able to return to work, Yellowstone filming is still postponed indefinitely until the actors and the AMPTP can come together. The Sheridan-produced limited series Lawmen: Bass Reeves, starring David Oyelowo as Bass Reeves, was originally expected to exist within the Yellowstone universe as a prequel to 1883, but will now function as its own standalone series. A prequel limited series, 1883, aired on Paramount+ late in 2021, and revealed the origin story of the Dutton family arriving in Montana. The series starred Isabel May as the brave and adventurous teenager Elsa, elder sister to John Dutton's great-grandfather, John Sr., and Tim McGraw as her father, James.

Before the actors joined the industrial action, Luke Grimes confirmed the cast hadn't started filming any of the episodes yet. I'm disappointed," Sheridan said in the interview. "It truncates the closure of his character. It doesn't alter it, but it truncates it." It was announced earlier this year that the upcoming second half of Yellowstone's fifth season will be the show's last outing, following rumours about lead star Kevin Costner's future in the series.

Four new characters have arrived on Yellowstone as well. Kai Caster plays a young cowboy named Rowdy. Lainey Wilson plays a musician, Abby. Lilli Kai plays Clara Brewer, Gov. Dutton's new assistant. And 1883's Dawn Olivieri joined the cast as Sarah Atwood, a Montana newcomer and "corporate shark" who has attached herself to Jamie. I couldn’t help them anymore," Kevin told THR about a sixth season. "We tried to negotiate, they offered me less money than previous seasons, there were issues with the creative … we came up with a number, and they [ Yellowstone] walked away. I’ve been told it’s a little disappointing that [it’s] the #1 show on TV [and] I’m not participating." While we know part 2 of Yellowstone's final season has been delayed, there is no official word on if Kevin Costner will appear in the final episodes. Although it was confirmed that the show would end with season 5, there have been no official details released about the cast for season 5, part 2, per Deadline. In May, Paramount said Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 will be released sometime in November. Those episodes will be the show's last, but an as-yet-untitled sequel show is coming in December. That doesn't mean the final season will be truncated, though. Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2 was supposed to be just six episodes, but that may no longer be the case. Sheridan told The Hollywood Reporter, "If I think it takes 10 episodes to wrap it up, [Paramount Network will] give me 10. It'll be as long as it needs to be."
