The second half of the fifth and final season of Yellowstone will premiere Sunday, November 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the Paramount Network. Internationally, Yellowstone will premiere on Paramount+ in Canada on November 10, the U.K. on November 11, and in Latin America, Brazil, and France later in November.
Production updates for Yellowstone
As previously announced last month, the series returned to production in Montana. The drama had been on an interminable hiatus since January 2023. As Yellowstone ramps up for its final stretch of episodes on Paramount+
, controversies have emerged behind the scenes as well.
Kevin Costner is more vocal about his experience
While promoting Horizon: An American Saga, Kevin Costner reflected on his time with the series. He expressed a sense of frustration, saying, There came a moment where I thought, ‘Wow, when is somebody going to say something about what I have done versus what I haven’t done?’
Dishing out insights during CBS Mornings
During an appearance on CBS Mornings on June 26, Costner commented on ending his relationship with Christine Baumgartner. When asked by Gayle King about his emotional state post-divorce, Costner remarked, That’s a crushing moment. It’s powerful. It hurt
. He effectively shut down further questioning about personal issues.
An extended hiatus impacts productivity
The actor pointed out how the 14-month hiatus impacted his overall productivity. He noted, There was a moment where that show for me stopped for 14 months… I could have done a lot of things in that time, but I wasn’t aware that [hold-up] was going to happen.
An exit and an uncertain future
Costner shocked everyone when he announced he would not be returning to Yellowstone. The decision triggered discussions over whether Daddy Dutton’s character would make any cameo appearances. One source stated, Even after implying that he would be willing to return in a cameo capacity, it might very well be too late to bring back Daddy Dutton.
The mythology continues
The actor hinted at a possible return if certain conditions were met: It might be an interesting moment to come back and finish the mythology of this modern-day family. And if that happens, I would step into it if I agreed with how it was being done … In the very end, I couldn’t do any more for it than I had already done.
The significance of authenticity
The show’s other main character—the land—captivates viewers. Authenticity lies at the core of Yellowstone’s success. As one quote from the promotional interview asserts: I just don’t think there’s anything on TV as elemental, honest, and of the moment.
