Do You Want to See Kevin Costner’s Final Turn in “Yellowstone”? Then you better have a Peacock subscription. The service has announced that it will be the exclusive streaming home of “Yellowstone” Season 5 starting May 25, as it has been for the past four seasons.
Paramount Network has already aired the first eight episodes in the final season of “Yellowstone,” which make up the first half of this final installment. Part 2 is expected to air at a later date this year, and you can bet it will eventually be streaming on Peacock as well.
The first four seasons of “Yellowstone” are currently available to stream exclusively on Peacock. For Yellowstone’s two spinoff series — “1923” and “1883” — they can only be found on Paramount+.
Season 5 of the massive hit follows the Dutton family as they protect their farm. But as they fight for their way of life, secrets, political aspirations and outside partnerships will put pressure on the family America has come to love. “Yellowstone” also stars Wes Bentley, Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser and Kelsey Asbill alongside Costner.
Ever since “Yellowstone” found its audience, the family saga has been a headwind. Although “Yellowstone” is a Paramount Network original, its parent company sold its streaming rights to Peacock. Earlier Paramount decided to make a major play in the streaming space with Paramount+. Because of this, “Yellowstone” has always been a divisive show. Although its spinoff and its creator Taylor Sheridan’s other series can be found exclusively on Paramount+, the only way to stream “Yellowstone” is through NBCUniversal-owned Peacock. But it won’t be like this forever.
In case Paramount gathers up its toys and leaves the playing field, it was announced earlier this month that “Yellowstone” will end with Season 5, Part 2. Stream exclusively on Paramount+ in December. Matthew McConaughey is in talks for that expansion.
According to reports, the shooting of the second half of ‘Yellowstone’ season 5 is yet to begin. It is unclear when production will begin or whether it will be delayed due to the WGA strike. However, Paramount has announced an expected November premiere date for this final batch of episodes.
