Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers from the Season 5, Episode 11 episode of “Yellowstone,” “Three Fifty-Three,” which premiered Sunday, Nov. 24 on Paramount Network.

In the wake of Sunday night’s bloody episode of “Yellowstone,” director and executive producer Christina Alexandra Voros has revealed that the final three episodes of this season will lead to an ending — one that could be the final bow for the series.

“I think this last batch of episodes leads us to the end of an era,” she says. “It’s impossible to talk about it in any detail without tipping my hat towards things to come. But I think [co-creator and writer] Taylor [Sheridan] has managed to — and I’m really not sure how he’s done it, I think it’s sort of masterful — bring the ending to something that feels both shocking and fated at the same time. You need to get to the end of the...

Spoiler Alert: This article includes details of Yellowstone‘s Season 5 episode “Three Fifty-Three.”

Sunday night’s Yellowstone episode belonged to Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes), the youngest son of patriarch John. There is a shocker of a death at the conclusion of tonight’s episode, as Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri) is gunned down. She has been the lover of Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), the Montana Ag and dark sheep adopted son of the Dutton clan. After coming to Texas at the behest of the Dutton clan’s arch enemy Market Equities, she seduced Jamie into embracing her suggestion that the best way to get John Dutton’s Montana ranch is to have him killed and make it look like an accident.

While Olivieri had a relatively brief run as the femme fatale, Sheridan fans...

Major spoilers for "Yellowstone" season 5 part 2 follow.

It's been coming -- and now that fans know how it happened, they're not happy. John Dutton's (Kevin Costner) death has been the big talking point of "Yellowstone" season 5 part 2, and the precise way the patriarch passes away has unfolded slowly. The very first episode of the block, "Desire Is All you Need," reveals that John is dead and presents his death as a suicide -- but soon, hints of a different cause of death start dropping. The episode titled "Three Fifty-Three" finally stops pulling punches and actually shows John's final moments. We see him asleep at the governor's mansion when three masked men enter the building, inject him with something, and stage a scenario that makes it seem like John shot himself. Later, the episode throws another wrench in the machinations when the person who ordered John's death, Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri...

The action in Yellowstone season 5 episode 11 begins in the daylight hours before John Dutton’s murder. For fans wondering if we’d see exactly what happened to the Dutton family patriarch, episode 11, “Three Fifty-Three,” answers that question.

Of course, Beth (Kelly Reilly) loves being with Rip (Cole Hauser), but she knows that one year of visiting him in Texas will drive her crazy. She wants to send Lloyd to take Rip’s place, but he won’t let her. His duty is to the ranch, even though he’d obviously rather be with his gorgeous wife.

Back at the ranch, Kayce (Luke Grimes), Monica (Kelsey Asbille), and Tate (Brecken Merrell) get to work moving their belongings into their new home. They each take turns adjusting a drawing on the wall, with Kayce sneaking in a final tweak after Monica warns him not to.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 11, “Three Fifty-Three.”] Another Yellowstone major player was just taken to the train station. The purpose of the Texas and Montana flashbacks with their confusing timelines was revealed in Season 5 Part 2’s third episode, which aired Sunday, November 24 on Paramount Network. They were to show where Beth (Kelly Reilly), Rip (Cole Hauser), Kayce (Luke Grimes), and Monica (Kelsey Asbille) were when John Dutton (Kevin Costner) was killed. Beth was on a long overnight drive from Texas to Montana when she suspected something was suddenly very wrong. Kayce felt something similar, with a nightmare waking him up seconds before getting the call about his father’s death. Shockingly, John’s murder was actually shown, but creative staging made it so his body but not his face was seen. This confirmed without question that John’s death was a homicide, not a suicide, and Kayce helped prove that the investigation...

As always, the stakes are high, and the challenges are numerous.

In this intense episode, John Dutton, played by Kevin Costner, continues his relentless fight to protect his family’s land and legacy. As the owner of the largest ranch in the United States, Dutton faces mounting pressure from a variety of forces threatening to take control of the land he holds dear.

As the stakes get higher, Dutton’s personal and professional battles collide, pushing him to make difficult decisions that could change everything. This episode promises more action, drama, and the kind of high-stakes tension that fans of “Yellowstone” have come to expect. Tune in for...

If Rip Wheeler was a book, he’d be one of those old leather-bound ones that sit quietly on a shelf, never begging for attention, but when you open it, it’s filled with pages of raw emotion and secrets. Much like a cowboy who never needs to say much but lets his actions do all the talking, Rip is a man who doesn’t wear his past like a badge. In fact, he’s got so many layers, that you’d need a shovel to dig them all out, but Rip is not in the business of volunteering his life story.

So who is Rip Wheeler? The simplest answer would be: he’s a fixer, a bruiser, and—quite possibly—the most underrated character in Yellowstone. The long-time ranch foreman for the Dutton family, Rip doesn’t just make sure...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Yellowstone Season 5 Part 2.] Yellowstone‘s biggest burning question has been left lingering since Season 3: When will Rip find out what Jamie did to Beth? There are only four episodes left in the series, so if it’s going to happen (and it should), it needs to happen soon. Beth (Kelly Reilly) revealed in Season 3 Episode 5, “Cowboys and Dreamers,” that Jamie (Wes Bentley) committed an appalling act of betrayal when she was pregnant with Rip’s (Cole Hauser) child as a teenager. She went to her big brother for help to get an abortion, and he repaid her trust with a forced sterilization. He took her to Indian Health Services for the procedure. The staff told Jamie that when performing abortions, they were also required to sterilize the patient (forced sterilization is still legal in the U.S. today). Jamie agreed to this without telling Beth, and she didn’t learn until later.

On Friday, November 29, 2024, at 1:35 Am, Yellowstone Season 5, Episode 582 will air on Paramount. In this episode, the Dutton family faces continued pressure as they fight to protect their ranch and way of life. The tensions rise as they deal with external threats from both an Indian reservation and land developers who seek to take control of the land. As the stakes get higher, the Duttons are tested not just by these external forces, but also by medical issues and long-held family secrets that begin to surface, creating even more strain on their already fragile relationships.

At the same time, political ambitions and alliances with outside partners add another layer of complexity to the situation. The Duttons must navigate these challenges while holding onto everything they’ve worked so hard to build. As always, the show promises to deliver plenty of drama, action, and tension as the family struggles to maintain...

Writer and director Taylor Sheridan’s empire has expanded ever since his films and then multitude of television shows that began with Yellowstone. The western drama series starring Kevin Costner, Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser and more debuted in 2018 and has made it to five seasons. Prequel shows have spun off the show as well.

Sheridan has also shaped projects like Tulsa King starring Sylvester Stallone, Special Ops: Lioness starring Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman and Mayor of Kingstown with Jeremy Renner. He has The Madison starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Beau Garrett, Elle Chapman and Patrick J. Adams in the works as well.

As an actor, he appeared in 12 Strong (2018), Sons of Anarchy (2011), Veronic Mars (2005-2007) and more.

Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser are reportedly in talks to return for "Yellowstone" season 6, but nothing is set in stone yet regarding the future of Taylor Sheridan's hit neo-Western drama. Of course, it's also possible that the actors will star in something fresh, as "Yellowstone" season 5 part 2 is hinting at them leading the "6666" spin-off. Regardless of where the lovers Rip Wheeler (Hauser) and Beth Dutton (Reilly) end up, Reilly is interested in reprising her troubled character in some capacity -- and she has some ideas for storylines.

"I loved this season. There were some really different territories to explore, so I'm not clinging to her. I'm happy to put her back in her padlocked box," Reilly told Town & Country about playing Beth in a potential "Yellowstone" season 6. "I am definitely interested in Beth, and who she is after some things have happened.

After a long wait, Taylor Sheridan’s Western drama Yellowstone is finally back with the second half of its fifth season. The tenth episode of season 5 deals with the fallout from the major revelation in the previous episode while focusing on Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler. In the process, the episode also strongly hints at a spin-off series that has long been in development.

The tenth episode sees Beth visit Rip at the Four Sixes Ranch in Texas, which has slowly become a mainstay of the series. However, the tenth episode seems like a backdoor pilot for an upcoming series based on the Texas ranch. If that is indeed the case, Taylor Sheridan seems to have forgotten the important message at the core of Yellowstone, and here is what it means for its future.

Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 10 Hints...

Daniel and Chozen were in for some major shocks in Cobra Kai’s latest batch of episodes, but they definitely didn’t expect this.

After following the man who abducted Daniel to a spa, they couldn’t believe their eyes amid the steamy air and roar of hot tub jets: Terry Silver was back. “What would life be without a few surprises?” Silver asked the speechless group of senseis, which also included Kim Da-Eun and John Kreese. And with that, the stakes of the Sekai Taikai were raised even higher, as Miyagi-Do (and Cobra Kai) scrambled to get ahead of Silver’s next moves.

Note: The following story contains spoilers from “Yellowstone” Season 5, Episode 10.

It looks like Kevin Costner isn’t the only one leaving “Yellowstone” in Season 5. The 10th episode of the Paramount Network original’s new season saw what very well be the last of Summer, its political activist firecracker.

Wondering what happened to Summer and how you know the actor who plays her? Here’s everything to know about “Yellowstone” actor Piper Perabo.

Who plays Summer on “Yellowstone”?

That would be Piper Perabo. Before starring in “Yellowstone,” Perabo starred in “Coyote Ugly” and “The Prestige.” On the television front, she also played Andy Salter in “Billions” and Linda Craft in “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.” She’s set to star in Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming spy thriller “Butterfly,” alongside Daniel Dae Kim.

Yellowstone Season 5B has finally begun, and the show will race to its conclusion. There are only six episodes remaining, with the finale coming on December 15. However, fans hoping to tune in after the fact to Paramount+ got a rude awakening. The show is not streaming on Paramount+ at all.

Here is why the Paramount Network show isn’t on Paramount+ and where fans can find it.

Yellowstone Not Streaming On Paramount+

Yellowstone is not on Paramount+ streaming. This seems strange to many fans, because the show does air on the Paramount Network, making it unclear what has happened. If fans don’t DVR the episodes, they have no chance to catch up on them on Paramount’s own streaming service.

However, all hope is not lost. Yellowstone has never had a streaming deal with Paramount+ for the episodes during the season. The episodes have never been...

This article contains spoilers for the latest episode of "Yellowstone" season 5 part 2.

When one door closes, another one opens. "Yellowstone" season 5 will supposedly see Taylor Sheridan's acclaimed neo-Western drama ride off into the sunset when it's all said and done. However, some reports claim that Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser are in talks to return for "Yellowstone" season 6, so maybe the show will continue beyond this installment. That said, what if the plan is for the series to end as predicted, and for Reilly and Hauser's characters to join the "6666" spin-off instead?

The show's latest episode, "The Apocalypse of Change," sees Beth Dutton (Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Hauser) reunite at the Four Sixes ranch and head off to a speakeasy for a night of romance and cocktails in a rattlesnake-free zone. That's when Beth realizes that there isn't a tourist in sight, and the bar patrons are...

Yellowstone viewers were divided after Sunday’s (November 17) episode aired a flashback scene featuring Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) and Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly). The episode began with an unexpected flashback that took place at the 6666 Ranch in Texas before John Dutton (Kevin Costner) was found dead. Costner’s character was killed off in the opening moments of last week’s season premiere. After the opening moments, the episode then jumped forward to the present day, back to the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch in Montana after Dutton was killed. While many fans loved the scene between Beth and Rip and the focus on their relationship, they were also confused and frustrated by the jumping around in time. “These time jumps in Yellowstone this season are so f****** confusing. I don’t give a s*** about Texas,” wrote one X user. “So did anyone else notice that Rip and Beth managed to somehow...

Playing Jamie Dutton on Yellowstone isn’t just a role—it’s a full-on emotional workout, and Wes Bentley isn’t afraid to admit it. The actor revealed that Jamie’s relentless baggage has often seeped into his real life, leaving him struggling to shake off the weight of his on-screen persona.

Over five seasons, Jamie spiraled from black sheep to one of TV’s most loathed characters, and the actor felt every twist. Spoiler alert: 5B didn’t make things any easier for Wes Bentley.

Tricia Miller may be a brand new woman post-divorce, but that doesn’t mean she’s immune from some unfortunate setbacks. In Sunday’s Somebody Somewhere, she felt the burn of one serious misstep in her newly reformed life. Or rather, a very literal burning sensation. Down there.

While out of town on a business trip with Sam, Tricia revealed a major secret: She had recently slept with her ex-husband Rick. “I did not mean to and I did not want to!” she yelled in a panic. “We f—king got drunk and now I have a goddamn disease!” (Chlamydia,...

It’s Beth and Kayce versus Jamie as Paramount Network’s Yellowstone season five continues with episode 10, “The Apocalypse of Change.” But before getting to any of that, episode 10 steps back to before John Dutton was found dead.

First up, a check-in with the cowboys stuck watching over the cattle in Texas. Everyone’s up and at breakfast except for Teeter (Jen Landon), and when Rip (Cole Hauser) checks in on her, she looks terrified. She whispers, “Rattlesnake.”

Rip lifts her bedroll and the snake is inside, curled up on her chest. He grabs it before it bites and then yells at Teeter for leaving her tent flap open. That’s just inviting trouble. Teeter reluctantly pokes around inside her tent, searching for more, and of course, there are. They’ve basically camped on top of a rattlesnake den.

There are snakes everywhere,...

After “Yellowstone” killed off its main character, Kevin Costner’s John Dutton, you knew there’d be hell to pay. Not just with fans, who cried foul at what the show had done to their beloved patriarch, but on the screen, where the Dutton clan suspected who’d killed their father and were starting to bring their chickens home to roost. In this week’s episode, titled “The Apocalypse of Change,” viewers got to see the beginning of that process, brawls, tears and all.

The episode opens a little confusingly, with the ranch hands down in Texas dealing with rattlesnakes in Teeter’s (Jenifer Landon) tent and a bat-out-of-hell-like Beth (Kelly Reilly) coming to whisk Rip (Cole Hauser) away. It’s not really clear what time period you’re in — is Rip back in Texas post-funeral? Is this still six weeks...

Yellowstone fans are not ready to admit that their beloved patriarch is dead and not coming back to fix things on the ranch.

At the end of Season 5A, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) was finally happy(ish) and married to Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), and the ranch problems saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

Kevin Costner left Yellowstone and his character, John Dutton, dead because of a supposed suicide, an act that left fans in an uproar.

Kevin Costner’s departure from Yellowstone has caused a ripple among fans of the show and the other cast and crew since he was a massive part of it, even the backbone.

Fans know and understand that John Dutton would never willingly leave his ranch or his children by an act of his own will and that if his character were dead, it was murder.

Some fans have been speculating...

There are so many characters to hate on Yellowstone, especially now that John Dutton is dead and the series is entering Season 5b, as Kevin Costner has exited.

Fans on Reddit have been calling for one character to get “taken out” during this season on Yellowstone.

Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), is the main villain that fans think of when they think of who they want to be taken to the train station and never seen again.

When someone goes to the train station, they get killed, although the euphemism implies that they are given a ticket out of town at the next railway station.

Jamie has caused Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly, so much trouble in her life that he can never do anything in this lifetime to fix things, but he isn’t the one fans want killed so soon in Season 5b.

Some could construe Beth, who has fought...

Yellowstone Season 5B is in full swing on Paramount Network as the series embraces uncharted territory without John Dutton (Kevin Costner) as the main attraction.

Given how Yellowstone airs on a cable network owned and operated by Paramount Global, it’s fair to assume that new episodes would be available after their linear debut on Paramount+.

Sadly, for those who caught up on the show during the hiatus, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the only way to stream new episodes is to purchase them individually from Amazon Prime or Apple.

Yellowstone premiered before Paramount+ existed, meaning that Paramount Global had already closed a deal with NBCUniversal for Peacock to carry past seasons of the show.

The news means that those episodes will be streaming only on Peacock.

Still, they won’t be added to the platform until each season ends, which isn’t ideal because Yellowstone is currently the biggest show on TV,...

Episode 10 Season 5 Episode 10 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode titled “Episode 10” of “Yellowstone” promises to be an intense installment in the ongoing battle for the Dutton family’s legacy. As the largest ranch in the United States, the Dutton ranch faces mounting pressures from various fronts. John Dutton, played by Kevin Costner, finds himself in a challenging position as he tries to protect his land from aggressive land developers looking to capitalize on its value.

In this episode, the stakes are higher than ever. The conflict intensifies as the Duttons confront not only the developers but also the nearby Indian reservation, which has its own claims and interests in the land. The tension between these groups adds layers of complexity to John Dutton’s fight to maintain control over his family’s heritage.

Additionally, the episode will touch on the significance of America’s first National Park,...

It remains to be seen whether the Season 5 finale of Yellowstone will also be the end of the Paramount Network series. (Read why here.) But if the show doesn’t go on, Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser tell TVLine that they are satisfied with the way that it rides off into the sunset. “Very,” Reilly adds.

“Beyond that — I’ll speak for myself,” Hauser chimes in, “I would say it’s been a huge accomplishment to be a part of a show like this that took place in an unbelievable setting like Montana and to work with one of the...

Not many people would trust Taylor Sheridan with their characters since he’s known to sort of kill characters of stars he either has a falling out with or needs to exit the series. It happened to Kevin Costner’s John Dutton, now didn’t it? Happily, Kelly Reilly believes in the ‘Yellowstone’ creator’s vision for all the characters.

When Landman premieres on Paramount+ on Sunday, you’ll once again be thrust into a world that’s mostly unknown to the general American public.

Taylor Sheridan’s work does that often, so adapting Christian Wallace’s Boomtown podcast (with Wallace’s help) about the rigors of the oil and gas business is a perfect fit.

During a recent press day, TV Fanatic had the opportunity to talk with Wallace and its stars, Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, Jacob Lofland, James Jordan, Mark Collie, Kayla Wallace, and Paulina Chávez. They shared unique insights into the series, its characters, and what drives them.

As Landman co-creator Christian Wallace revealed,...

We’ve always been told that life’s a journey, not a destination. But what if the destination is the only thing that really matters? The journey of Yellowstone has been a wild, breathtaking ride through the rugged terrain of betrayal, power struggles, and family loyalty. But when John Dutton, the patriarch whose steely presence anchored the show, seemed to be claimed by fate in the season 5B premiere, it raised more than just dust.

Spoiler Alert !!!Heads Up: Major Spoilers for Yellowstone Season 5B, Episode Nine! Yellowstone | Credits: Paramount

The season 5B premiere of Yellowstone, after a nearly two-year hiatus, was nothing short of a bombshell. In the first few minutes, viewers were hit with a gut punch: John Dutton, played by Kevin Costner, seemed to have taken his own life. But in classic Yellowstone fashion, the truth was far more intricate. John’s death wasn’t a s*icide at all.

After a long two-year wait, Yellowstone is back. The second part of the fifth and possibly final season is airing weekly on the Paramount Network, and while Kevin Costner is not returning, the show’s impeccable Western-tinged style certainly is.

Of course, fans know that Yellowstone isn’t just a show but a cinematic universe, with spin-offs like 1883 and 1923. Likewise, Yellowstone is a universe of merch, with collaborations...

Yellowstone returned with its most dramatic episode yet when the season 5B premiere revealed the fate of John Dutton, the character played by departed star Kevin Costner. The episode, which aired on Sunday after a nearly two-year break off the air, answered the looming question right out of the gate, and the hour has already become the most-watched ever in Taylor Sheridan’s hit Paramount Network series.

Bubbling up under the shocking drama around John’s death seemingly by suicide — though it’s revealed to viewers that it was actually the result of a hitman who was hired by the girlfriend (Dawn Olivieri) of John’s estranged son, Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) — are the pulsating heartbeats of John’s other children who are left to pick up the pieces. That includes Luke Grimes’ Kayce Dutton and Kelly Reilly’s Beth Dutton who,...

Yellowstone fans were left devastated by the opening minutes of season five episode nine, the first new episode of the popular series since January 1, 2023. Battle lines have been clearly drawn after Jamie not only killed his adoptive father but also ruined his legacy by setting up his death as a suicide. Paramount Network released an action-packed one-minute teaser for the remaining episodes of the final season, showcasing an alliance between the Duttons and Thomas Rainwater and Kayce being all in on taking down his brother.

Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone TV series has taken the world by storm from the get-go. Revolving around Montana’s Dutton family, dealing with the conflicts around their titular sprawling ranch, the show has perfectly captured the blend of old Western themes with the struggles of modernization. In recent years, Yellowstone has become one of the most-watched television shows. And is often credited with bringing the Western genre back into the mainstream, revolutionizing television.

With breathtaking cinematography, enthralling storylines, and impeccable performances from the cast, Yellowstone has aired five seasons; the fifth one being the series finale, premiering in two parts. Throughout these seasons, the characters and storylines have evolved. The series was not without controversy of its own. There were some contractual errors, some behind-the-scenes drama, and possibly some creative differences as well.

However, despite all of it, some seasons reached the pinnacle of drama and entertainment, while others landed...

Hollywood friendships are full of unexpected twists. In the blink of an eye, friends that seemed solid can get sour, especially in the high-stakes world of entertainment. Such celebrities are no strangers to fallouts and feuds, and sometimes, the most surprising conflicts can be the ones that end up in lawsuits. This is exactly what happened with Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan and the show’s rugged cowboy, Cole Hauser.

The feud between Sheridan and Hauser in 2023 left fans stunned when the former slapped Hauser with a lawsuit over his coffee brand, Free Rein. Once the perfect team behind one of TV’s biggest neo-Westerns, Sheridan and Hauser’s partnership hit rocky road. It raised questions about Hauser’s character, Rip Wheller’s future, in Yellowstone’s finale and the 6666 spin-off.

The “Yellowstone” premiere on Sunday night contained not one, but two upsetting deaths. However, only one of them happened in real life.

Part of “Desire Is All You Need” followed Rip (Cole Hauser) as he travelled to a loriner to pick up a horse bit for Lloyd (Forrie J. Smith). But while he was at the shop in Pampa, Texas, the work of one craftsman in particular caught his eye, specifically a set of spurs that were made from a single piece of metal. That craftsman was Billy Klapper, who appeared in the episode as himself.

A legend in his field, Klapper started to make bits and spurs full-time in 1968. He was specifically known in the cowboy community for his one piece spurs, the very same piece that catches Rip’s eye in the episode. He was also one of the few remaining spur makers to be trained by Adolph Bayers,...

"Yellowstone" spoilers follow.

If you just watched the "Yellowstone" mid-Season 8 premiere, I'm going to guess this is not the first article you looked up. Kevin Costner's John Dutton III is dead, and a war is about to break out. With this in mind, here's hoping Taylor Sheridan can deliver the bloody calamity with the fierceness "Game of Thrones" couldn't muster up with the anticlimactic Battle of Winterfell. Time will tell, and y'all will no doubt be tuning in to see the iron-packing action.

While you wait for the mayhem to kick up, you might need some questions answered in the wake of the eventful premiere. One of those could very well be "Who is Billy Ray Klapper?" There was a title card dedicating the episode to him, which puzzled viewers who didn't know him as a member of the cast. Additionally, he wasn't a member of the crew, nor...

[This story contains major spoilers from the Yellowstone season 5B premiere.]

After that shocking, long-awaited and highly anticipated return of Yellowstone, what happens now?

(Spoiler alert…) More specifically, what happens to the family at the center of Taylor Sheridan’s hit Paramount Network saga now that patriarch John Dutton (played by former star Kevin Costner) is dead?

Will Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) avenge what she believes was the murder of her father by killing her brother Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) — or rather, how will she kill the brother she loathes? Her husband Rip (Cole Hauser), who has now returned to the ranch, will be by her side. But will her other brother Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) join them in what can only be a brutal path to avenge John and save the Dutton family ranch? And how formidable of an opponent is Jamie’s girlfriend Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri), who was revealed to be the one who placed the hit on John?...

Plot: Yellowstone chronicles the Dutton family who controls the largest contiguous cattle ranch in the United States. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect – the ranch is in constant conflict with those it borders – an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America’s first national park.

Review (Spoiler Warning): In the almost two years since the eighth episode of Yellowstone‘s fifth season premiered, fans have waited to learn the fate of John Dutton. Kevin Costner entered a very publicized feud with Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, which was tied to his salary and time away from the series to direct his passion project, Horizon: An American Saga. The first part of that film has come and gone from theaters, but we have still been waiting to see how the second part of Yellowstone‘s fifth and final season would address Costner’s departure. Last night, we finally found out.

Spoiler Alert !!!Minor spoilers for Yellowstone 5B

Yellowstone was never short on drama, both onscreen and off. But the show’s director pulled back the curtain on an unexpected trick from creator Taylor Sheridan that they called—well, lazy writing. In Season 5, Part B, Sheridan’s approach sparked heated debates, with fans split over whether it was brilliant or borderline lazy.

For those familiar with Sheridan’s style, it was both a bit maddening and undeniably entertaining. Love it or hate it, this twist kept the buzz around Yellowstone alive, proving that sometimes “lazy” can indeed be genius.

Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone season 5B kicked off with John Dutton’s sudden death. In true Sheridan fashion, he went back in time to unpack it all through flashbacks.

All good things must come to an end. It’s an age-old phrase, but when you’re standing at the crossroads of a beloved TV series like Yellowstone, that ending can feel a lot more complicated than a simple closure.

As the Dutton family saga approaches its final act in Season 5, viewers are bracing for more than just the conclusion of the story—they’re dealing with a noticeable absence. Kevin Costner, the cornerstone of Yellowstone as patriarch John Dutton, will not return for the show’s final stretch, following a highly publicized fallout with creator Taylor Sheridan.

What’s left behind, however, is a show determined to keep riding, even without its original lead. As fans prepare for the second half of Yellowstone’s fifth season, Luke Grimes, who portrays John’s son, Kayce Dutton, has opened up about the bittersweet reality of continuing the show without Costner.
