We’ve already watched a lot of terrific shows and films in 2024. What are we obsessed with this week? Great question! We enjoyed Netflix’s new three-part docuseries American Nightmare, Jake Johnson’s engaging new movie Self Reliance (Hulu), The Curious Case Of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks on Max, and the new seasons of Fargo (Hulu) and True Detective (Max).
As always: So much content, so little time. But what about our old pal Yellowstone?
The good news is that Season 3 episodes are now airing on CBS. The bad news, as usual, is that we’re still months away from any new episodes of Taylor Sheridan’s Western epic. When exactly will Yellowstone return with new episodes? Here’s everything you need to know.
Is Yellowstone on Paramount Network Tonight (1/21/24)?
Nope. Paramount Network is airing a marathon of Bar Rescue.
We do, however, have a bit of good news. CBS is airing two Season 3 episodes of Yellowstone (“Going Back to Cali” and “Cowboys and Dreamers”) on Monday, January 22 from 9:00-11:00 p.m. ET. Season 3 will run through January on CBS, culminating with a two-night season finale event on Sunday, January 28 and Monday, January 29.
When Does Yellowstone Return With New Season 5 Episodes?
Back in November, Paramount Network announced that Yellowstone will return for the second half of Season 5 in November 2024. The network also revealed that two new Yellowstone spinoffs — currently titled 1944 and 2024 — are in the works.
No plot details for 1944 or 2024 were announced, but Variety reports that 2024 is expected to begin airing following the conclusion of Yellowstone, with the show featuring “new cast members and locations with some crossover characters as well.” This is the series that would most likely include Matthew McConaughey, who’s been rumored to star in a Yellowstone spinoff since April.
How To Stream Yellowstone Season 5:
All five seasons of Yellowstone are available on Peacock Premium. You can also stream select Season 5 episodes on-demand via the Paramount Network website, fuboTV, Sling TV (the $6/month “Comedy Extra” add-on), Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, Philo, or DIRECTV STREAM.
Finally, individual episodes and complete seasons of Yellowstone are available to purchase on Amazon.
Is Kevin Costner Leaving Yellowstone?
Production on the final episodes of the fifth and final season will reportedly begin in late spring 2024, but Costner’s level of involvement in the remaining installments is still unclear. The actor revealed in a September court trial that he was initially offered $24 million to do Seasons 5, 6, and 7 of Yellowstone but there were “issues with creative.”
Per Deadline, another source of contention centered around the star’s shooting schedule. Costner reportedly wanted more time to spend on his upcoming multi-part Western movie Horizon: An American Saga, a film in which he starred, directed, co-wrote, and produced.
The situation remains in flux — Costner said in September that he’ll “probably go to court” over his Yellowstone exit — so it’s safe to say that he almost certainly won’t be involved in future spinoffs.
