“Yellowstone,” the current reigning champion of cable TV, returns on Nov. 10 with the final 6 episodes of season 5. Among them will be the series finale.
However, if you somehow haven’t watched the show and are looking to catch up, there are a few very affordable ways to do so.
What is the cheapest way to watch “Yellowstone?”
“Yellowstone” airs on the Paramount Network. This might lead you to believe that it is available to stream on Paramount Plus, but that is not the case.
Because of a complicated streaming arrangement (which precedes the show’s explosive popularity), “Yellowstone” will not be available on Paramount Plus for the foreseeable future. Instead, exclusive streaming rights to the series belong to Peacock.
The streaming service offers the first five seasons of the show on-demand, with the second half of season 5 to release some time after it begins airing.
Luckily, Peacock is one of the least expensive streaming services on the market, even though it doesn’t offer a free trial.
You can get Peacock for $7.99 per month to watch with ads, or $13.99 to watch without them.
When will “Yellowstone” season 5 part 2 release on Peacock?
We can’t say for sure, but we can make an informed guess.
There is no official confirmation regarding the Peacock release of “Yellowstone” season 5 part 2.
However, the first half of season 5 concluded on Jan. 1, 2023. A little more than 5 months later, on May 25, those first 8 episodes of the season were released on Peacock.
Assuming there are no interruptions to the show’s release schedule, the series will air its finale around Dec. 15. This makes it likely (but not guaranteed) that the series will be available to view, in its entirety, some time in May of 2025.
What is the cheapest way to livestream “Yellowstone” when the new season airs?
“Yellowstone” will return to complete its 5th and final season on Sunday, November 10, 2024. After many setbacks, including the WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes, the series will finally conclude with these last six episodes.
When it returns, it will air on Sunday nights on Paramount Network. If you don’t have the network or looking to watch with a live stream, the cheapest way to do so is with Philo (free trial).
Philo is remarkably cheap for the amount of content it offers, with more than 70 live channels, thousands of movies and TV series on-demand, and more. The base package costs $28 per month, with several additional add-on packages that include premium channels, like MGM+ and AMC+, for an additional cost. The service offers a seven-day free trial that includes all the features of full subscription.
Who is in “Yellowstone” season 5?
“Yellowstone” has a sizable lineup of stars, including:
- Kevin Costner as John Dutton
- Wes Bentley as Jamie Dutton
- Kelly Reilly as Beth Dutton
- Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton
- Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler
- Gil Birmingham as Thomas Rainwater
Where can I watch the “Yellowstone” spinoffs?
The “Yellowstone” extended universe, as some might call it, is very confusing. You can learn more about it here.
However, the main thing you need to know is that both of the current spinoffs (1923″ and “1883″) are only available on Paramount Plus. There are no other places to watch them.
You can sign up for Paramount Plus on the streaming service’s website. Currently, Paramount Plus features two subscription plans: a “limited commercials” option for $6 per month ($60 annually), and a premium “no commercials” option for $12 per month ($120 annually). You can try out either tier with a full 7-day free trial.
Remember, though, that while Paramount Plus carries the “Yellowstone” spinoffs, it does not carry new or old seasons of “Yellowstone” itself.
