THAT'S ALL, FOLKS! After almost a two-year hold-up, the departure of its lead star (and the mystical, off-screen death of his character), and a lot of relatively random things, Yellowstone has actually lastly concluded its beleaguered 5th season with a supersized ending directed by co-creator and showrunner Taylor Sheridan.
While this ending definitely concludes the ending of the present arc of Yellowstone, concerns stay about the future of the program. While it had actually formerly been reported that the program would be concluding with completion of its 5th season, Paramount Network's marketing has actually just ever described completion of season 5 as a “season ending,” and not a “series ending.” At the minimum, the program would seem leaving its choices open.
At the minimum, Yellowstone as we understood it is over; the ending finished up the long lasting stories, bringing some things cycle and doing its finest to clean whatever up. Keep in mind that this is a flourishing, extensive franchise; aside from Yellowstone correct, there are likewise the 1883 and 1923 prequel programs (the latter has a 2nd season coming early in 2025). There's constantly going to be more story to inform (and more cash to be made) when a program gets as huge as this one. The Dutton-verse lives on.
What does the future of Yellowstone appear like after season 5? Let's travel out west and dive in.
Will Yellowstone have a season 6?
Paramount
While the marketing for Yellowstone has actually just described the last episode of season 5 as a “season ending,” it still feels most likely that the program as we understand it concludes here.
That being stated, do not rule anything out– it stays possible that in some type or another, a season 6 does ultimately wind up taking place. Due to the fact that otherwise, the network would not hesitate of calling it a “series ending,” and it hasn't done that at all.
Rip and Beth will have their own spin-off/sequel series
Paramount
Something that will be taking place, however, is a spinoff/sequel series that follows Cole Hauser's Rip Wheeler and Kelly Reilly's Beth Dutton. This was initially drifted back in August of 2024 as a concept for a prospective season 6 of Yellowstone, Now it appears more most likely, according to Range, that the set will lead their own follow up series that isn't under the appropriate Yellowstone banner, however does include Yellowstone in the title. And Range Reported that the program was formally moving forward– so this is taking place. Believe something like Yellowstone: The Ride Continues,
