It’s Official: As Variety reports, Yellowstone will officially come to an end with the launch of the final episodes of the fifth season of Paramount’s hit series in November. But good news: A sequel has been ordered and will be released on Paramount in December and later on Paramount+.
The announcement comes after Kevin Costner – the relentless John Dutton – is leaving the show over his reported desire to focus on the epic feature film Horizon, a project that has seriously impacted his availability for the show’s film.

“Yellowstone was the cornerstone that enabled us to bring to market an entire universe of global hits – from 1883 to Tulsa King – and I’m confident that our Yellowstone sequel will be a success thanks to Taylor Sheridan’s brilliant creative mind and our amazingness a Another big hit will be actors bringing these shows to life,” said Chris McCarthy, President and CEO of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios.
ANOTHER HEADLINER?
The exact storyline and casting details for this new production are still under wraps at this time, but it was previously reported that Matthew McConaughey is in talks to star in a new Taylor Sheridan production “that would feature several Yellowstone characters “. This sequel will allow the story to continue without Kevin Costner while retaining most of the original actors.
“The story of the Duttons continues, picking up where Yellowstone left off in another epic tale. We’re very excited to bring this new journey to audiences around the world,” said David Glasser, CEO of 101 Studios, which produces the show.
Yellowstone, which follows the Dutton family on their sprawling cattle ranch in Montana, has become one of television’s most popular shows. The first episode of Season 5, which aired in November 2022, attracted a whopping 17 million viewers. The show has spawned two prequel spin-off series since its debut in 2018, 1983 starring Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and 1923 starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, as well as a spin-off set in the present day 6666, which is also set to be released soon.
Before the sequel can be discovered next December, the parent series and its prequels are available to stream on Paramount+.
