When Is Yellowstone Coming Back? YellowstoneSeason 5, Part 2 Premiere Date:

So when is Yellowstone coming back? Long story short…we still don’t have an exact premiere date, but we do have an expected premiere month. YellowstoneSeason 5, Part 2is set to return at some point inNovember 2024 on Paramount Network. Earlier this year aPuckreportsaid that “the final episodes” of Part 2 of were “already written” and that filming would to begin “in a few weeks,” so with any luck it’s business as usual back at the Dutton ranch.

Why Did Kevin Costner LeaveYellowstone?

AfterYellowstoneSeason 5, Part 1 wrapped,explosiveYellowstonereports suggested creator Taylor Sheridan andstar/EP Kevin Costner were feuding. In May 2023, fans learnedCostner would be leaving theYellowstonefranchise after Season 5and that he reportedlywouldn’t return for Season 5, Part 2 unless he approvedof his character’s final storyline. In June 2023, Sheridan toldThe Hollywood Reporterhe was “disappointed” by Costner’s exit, adding, “I don’t do f*ck-you car crashes… Whether [Dutton’s fate] inflates [Costner’s] ego or insults is collateral damage that I don’t factor in with regard to storytelling.”

PerPeople, when Costner was asked if he’d be receiving a salary for the second half of Season 5, the actor detailed struggles experienced while negotiating, saying, “I will probably go to court over it.” In April, Costner gave an update on his potential return in an interview withEntertainment Tonight, saying, “I’d like to be able to do it but we haven’t been able to…I thought I was going to make seven [seasons] but right now we’re at five. So how it works out — I hope it does — but they’ve got a lot of different shows going on. Maybe it will. Maybe this will circle back to me. If it does and I feel really comfortable with [it], I’d love to do it.” But the updates don’t stop there…

Two weeks ago, Costner’s co-star Luke Grimes, who plays his on-screen son, spoke on the actor’s decision to step back from the series ahead of Season 5, Part 2.As Decider reported, per Grimes, Costner had become “busy” pursuing other “passion projects,” such as his upcoming WesternHorizon: An American Saga. “Whatever happened there is unfortunate if it’s changed anything about how the show was going to unfold,” Grimes recently toldThe Independent.“At a certain point, you gotta do what you gotta do, man…You gotta do what you love.”

Then in a May 3 interview with EW, Costner made some seriously hopeful comments about his professional relationship with Sheridan, saying that although the two hadn’t talked he was open to working together again down the line. “He’s doing special work in a lot of different ways. He’s very prolific about the things he does, and if he sees me in something that he wants to do, I’ll look at it just the way I did Yellowstone and maybe we will end up doing something together.”

“He likes a lot of the things that I like, and the idea of us working together is not out of the question for me. The subjects he chooses are very interesting to me. I like a lot of that stuff. Yellowstone stands as something that could continue. But that is a Taylor question. But other things that he’s doing I think are really, really good. He likes the same subjects that I do,” Costner said. Promising, right? Now if only these two could get back together for the sake of John Dutton…

WillYellowstoneHave A Season 6?

In May 2023, it was confirmed thatYellowstoneSeason 5 would be the show’s final season, which means Season 6 likely won’t be a go, with or without Costner.
