The long-awaited return of Yellowstone is finally on the horizon! Paramount Network has announced that the final episodes of its fifth season will begin airing on Sunday, November 10, at 8/7c.
Production Resumes in Montana
Production for the concluding half of Season 5 is currently underway in Montana. The first half aired between November 2022 and January 2023, making this a nearly two-year hiatus for fans.
Impact of the Writers’ and Actors’ Strikes
The ongoing Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes have significantly impacted “Yellowstone.” Taylor Sheridan, who wrote every episode, had his last scripts completed before the strikes began.
According to Variety, The final episodes were supposed to come out last year, but Yellowstone was one of many productions impacted by the dual writers’ and actors’ strikes, with the cast and crew not managing to get back to shooting a conclusion until now.
Taylor Sheridan’s Unique Positionality
Taylor Sheridan has been critical of the WGA’s demands and considers himself somewhat of a Hollywood outsider. Amid these tensions, Kevin Costner’s involvement remained uncertain.I like to think that we can make an impact where needed, and I think the audience appreciates that too,
noted Costner.
Upcoming Spinoffs to Look Forward To
With “Yellowstone” concluding, Paramount Network has already ordered two promising spin-offs: “1944” and “2024.” Details on the new projects are scarce, but they are expected to feature fresh cast members and potentially crossover characters.
The likelihood of familiar faces like Memphis legend Luke Grimes returning remains uncertain due to ongoing salary negotiations.
Kelly Reilly on Salary Disputes
While Kelly Reilly has publicly addressed rumors concerning salary disputes, she urged fans to take these reports with a grain of salt.There are discussions, you know. Don’t believe everything you read. It’s just nonsense.
Conclusion
The end is truly near for Yellowstone, but fans will finally get the closure they’ve been waiting for this November. Meanwhile, the show’s creator Taylor Sheridan’s contentious relationship with industry norms continues to stir conversations.
