Yellowstone is known for its family feuds, wild west antics and cowboy controversies — and the remaining season 5 episodes will continue to bring the drama.
The first half of Yellowstone’s final season finished airing in January 2023, and the show was subsequently in limbo. Paramount later confirmed in May 2023 that the rest of season 5 would be the last for the western drama and while the second part of the season was set to air in summer 2023, it was reported that production delays and alleged tension between leading man Kevin Costner and creator Taylor Sheridan pushed the show’s return back time and again.
“The idea that Kevin was only willing to work one week on the second half of season 5 of Yellowstone is an absolute lie,” Costner’s attorney told Puck after the magazine published an exposé claiming his client was being difficult about the shooting plans. “It’s ridiculous — and anyone suggesting it shouldn’t be believed for one second.”
Months later, several cast members attended PaleyFest in Los Angeles and gave Us an update on whether they had resumed filming amid the headline-making delays.
“We haven’t started, no,” Wendy Moniz, who plays Governor Lynelle Perry, exclusively told Us in April 2023. “We know [Taylor] is writing and we’re looking forward to getting back.”
Yellowstone faced another delay with the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The season was pushed back again with a new premiere date for November 2024.
