Yellowstone season 5 return date: When will part 2 air?

Yellowstone season five, part two is set to debut but when can fans anticipate the drama's comeback?

Paramount+ has shared the disheartening news that the popular Western drama will conclude with its fifth season in May 2023, following the midseason finale.

It's been over a year since viewers last saw what the Duttons were up to, and now that it's known the story is coming to an end, many are keen to know when it will be back on screens.

When is the release date for Yellowstone season 5 part 2?

The production of Yellowstone season five, part two, has been ongoing for some time now after being delayed.

Like many other shows, the Taylor Sheridan hit series was postponed due to the Hollywood actors and writers' strikes last year, preventing the cast and crew from returning to filming until early May.

Fortunately, it's all systems go for the return of Yellowstone, with an official return date now announced.

Yellowstone season five, part two, is set to premiere on Sunday, November 10, on Paramount+.

Season five is set to be the longest yet, with 14 episodes, compared to previous seasons which each consisted of 10 episodes.

Part one comprised eight episodes, leaving just six episodes before it's time to bid farewell to the iconic ranch for good.

Provided there are no changes to the schedule, the grand finale of Yellowstone is expected to air on Sunday, December 15.

Yellowstone john dutton actor kevin costner

While it's fantastic to finally have a date to look forward to, leading man Kevin Costner won't be reprising his role as John Dutton.

He confirmed on Instagram earlier this month that he wouldn't be part of the second instalment due to other commitments with his film franchise Horizon: An American Saga.

So, what will Costner's absence mean for how Yellowstone is going to wrap up?
