Taylor Sheridan didn’t just drop hints—he practically carved the ending of Yellowstone into Montana’s rugged landscape. With Season 5B finally airing, fans realized Sheridan had been playing the long game all along, crafting a conclusion that ties the modern-day Duttons back to their 1883 roots.

The family drama, land battles, and betrayals were always going to lead here, blending past and present into one epic finale. Sheridan’s storytelling came full circle, proving he had the pieces mapped out from the start. Love it or hate it, this ending is bound to leave Yellowstone fans talking for years.

The anticipation for Season 5 of “Yellowstone” is building as fans prepare for the gripping return of the Dutton family. Set to air on December 6, 2024, at 3:00 Am on Paramount, this season promises to deliver more intense drama and high-stakes conflicts. The Duttons find themselves in a fierce battle to protect their beloved ranch and way of life, facing challenges from both an Indian reservation and relentless land developers.

As the season unfolds, viewers can expect to see how medical issues and hidden family secrets put a strain on the Duttons. These personal struggles add depth to the characters and create a more complex narrative. The family’s unity will be tested like never before, as they navigate the pressures of their land and the secrets that threaten to tear them apart.

Political aspirations and outside partnerships loom large this season, adding another layer of tension to the already fraught situation.

Taylor Sheridan might be sharpening his creative knives again. If the king of ranchland drama plans to end his epic saga on a triumphant note, he may have to send another major character packing (and not just to the train station). The Dutton family’s survival has always been a high-stakes game, but Sheridan’s knack for playing hardball might mean another jaw-dropping exit.

With Yellowstone’s future hanging by a thread, the showrunner seems ready to prove that winning sometimes requires a little sacrifice. Who’s next on the chopping block? Only Sheridan’s script knows, and it’s keeping quiet—for now.

Jamie Dutton’s days may be numbered. With Yellowstone charging toward its explosive finale, all eyes are on Wes Bentley’s character.

Odds are you’ve heard of “Yellowstone,” which has become a massive hit on television over its past five seasons. It’s so popular it’s already spurred multiple splashy prequel shows, with creator Taylor Sheridan involved in all the shows. But actually finding where to watch “Yellowstone” – which stars Kevin Costner as the patriarch of a powerful ranch family in Montana — is a bit tricky. That’s where we come in.

Below, we run down everything you need to know about how to watch “Yellowstone” – where it’s streaming, how many seasons are on the horizon, and where to watch it on TV.

Where does “Yellowstone” air?

“Yellowstone” is a Paramount Network original, and new seasons of the show air on TV on the Paramount Network. Season 5 premiered in November 2022, and the second half of Season 5 started airing in November 2024. New episodes are rolling out weekly on Paramount Network.

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers for “Yellowstone” Season 5, Episode 11, “Three Fifty-Three.”]

Here are a few recent scenes from “Yellowstone” that are absolutely, undeniably, without-a-doubt vital to Season 5: Beth (Kelly Reilly) learns Italian. Sarah (Dawn Olivieri) visits the phone store. Kayce (Luke Grimes) incapacitates a doctor to demonstrate how the human body works for another doctor. Tate (Brecken Merrill), well, pretty much everything Tate says at family dinner is dumb.

Now, despite my recurring complaints about bloat, I am not a plot purist — one of those joyless TV viewers who complains whenever there’s a stray sequence, scene, or spoken word that dares to exist for reasons beyond moving the A-story forward — and “Yellowstone” isn’t either. Taylor Sheridan’s hit show has long savored any extra time in the saddle, including many-a-music video-like sequence of cowboys cowboying, often set to one of the creator’s favorite country-rock tunes. Heck, the family dinner featuring Tate as...

Theres always that strange transition period in horror movies where things can get lost in the shuffle. The 70s and its nihilism broke late in the decade to swerve into masked killers and the slasher genre. That heyday was far shorter than people remember but the late 80s did something similar in transitioning to straight to video smash successes and a crazy number of sequels and adaptations. That well, too, would dry up, and when Wes Craven released Scream in 1996, the landscape would shift to smart slashers and then found footage. The teen slasher era was first with things like Urban Legend, Scream sequels, Disturbing Behavior, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and hell, even Final Destination posits literal death as a slasher villain. These are more along the lines of the top shelf example but one that could qualify for a best horror movie you never saw And...

Yellowstone’s final season just delivered a jaw-dropper. Taylor Sheridan went full throttle by axing a major character in what fans are already calling the best episode ever. The bold move wasn’t just shocking—it was storytelling brilliance that left viewers reeling.

As the Duttons inch closer to their dramatic endgame, this episode proved Sheridan still has plenty of tricks up his cowboy hat. While the loss stung, it only amplified the stakes for the ranch’s survival.

Time caught up to itself in the latest episode of Yellowstone and, just as director Christina Voros and the cast have been promising, the drama that ensued was propulsive.

“Knowing that’s where we were going, it’s all made sense to me,” Voros tells The Hollywood Reporter of season 5B’s two timelines — the past and the present — merging with episode three, “Three Fifty-Three,” which aired Sunday. “Not knowing where it’s leading I think has left some people feeling like they don’t know where it’s leading — which is the point. You don’t understand the point until you get there.”

The point of arrival was 3:53 a.m., the precise time that John Dutton was murdered. The season 5B premiere had revealed what happened to the main character played by Kevin Costner, who departed the series between seasons 5A and 5B. John died by an apparent suicide,...

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...

While Kevin Costner has been pretty vocal about his love for Yellowstone, in which he played the Dutton patriarch for five seasons, the last half of season 5 might not sit well with the Horizon star. Not only does his character die within the opening moments of the back half of the final season, but Sheridan isn’t slowing down with the jabs at John Dutton, and in turn, Costner.

Considering the second half takes place months after Costner and Sheridan’s alleged feud, which garnered traction following the former’s departure, it appears the showrunner might still be salty about it.

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.

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 final season of Yellowstone has upped the stakes significantly, with the most recent episode delving into the night of John Dutton’s (Kevin Costner) death.

As viewers are well aware, Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri) gave the kill order at the request of her love interest, Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley).

Despite Yellowstone Season 5, Episode 11, filling in many blanks about the night of John’s demise, the explosive installment concluded with Sarah’s.

The development came after Grant (Matt Gerald) saw on the news that John’s death had been ruled a homicide, so Sarah was a loose end to him as the only person who knew what really happened that night.

Sarah had many flaws, but there are still questions about whether a thirst for power drove her decisions or whether she genuinely loved Jamie.

Either way, her death scene goes down as one of Yellowstone’s most shocking because...

"Yellowstone" season 5 part 2 opens with John Dutton (Kevin Costner) lying dead next to a toilet. We're led to believe he took his own life, but it's later revealed that the ruthless Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri), on behalf of Market Equities, put a hit out on him. Many "Yellowstone" fans have wanted to see Atwood get taken out of the picture since then, but viewers probably didn't expect it to happen in episode 11, "Three Fifty-Three."

The bad guys always get what's coming to them on "Yellowstone," but Atwood's sudden demise is pretty shocking as it was so unexpected. The grisly moment occurs after she gets into a fight with Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) and storms out of his house. Shortly after, she is gunned down by assassins posing as lost drivers in the neighborhood, and the episode ends with Jamie crying on the phone.

Once it became clear that Kevin Costner wouldn’t return for the second half of Season 5 of “Yellowstone,” fans wondered how series creator Taylor Sheridan would write off his character, John Dutton. The split seemed less than amicable, including Costner saying he was unable to get on the same page with the rest of production about shooting schedules and even mentioning that legal action could come as a result of his departure.

But it’s hard to imagine fans imagining John Dutton’s farewell would go down like it did. Instead of a fitting send-off for the patriarch of the central family, it seems like Sheridan is trying to throw mud on the main character’s in-show legacy, while also needling Costner in real life.

Sheridan has been...

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.

Last week’s episode tied up some loose ends, but this week’s “Yellowstone” is all about violence, as we finally see John’s murder go down, as well as the assassination of a troublesome favorite — all with some slaps and roughhousing in between. Let’s begin:

Why is Beth (Kelly Reilly) studying Italian? Lifelong learning is great, but it seems pretty random… “Must be that time of the month?” Shut up, Tate (Brecken Merrill) — don’t be misogynistic. Wow, we’re going to watch the strike team kill John (Kevin Costner), with night vision goggles and everything? Dark! I know it’s not the point, but it’s weird to see John in pajamas. I just assumed he slept in a cowboy hat and jeans. We’re...

Historically, “Yellowstone” has been at its most interesting, most explosive when the Duttons have had their backs up against the wall. Someone threatened their land or their livelihood, so they got a posse together and drove the attackers back.

In recent seasons though, that’s been easier said than done not just because they’ve been rustling with the evil Market Equities, but also because they’re trying to go up against the faceless enormity of the U.S. Government. It’s why John Dutton (Kevin Costner) became governor, and probably somewhat true to the experience of an actual rancher. But as a viewer, there’s just something kind of “meh” element to the Duttons trying to muddle their way through easements, eminent domain claims and estate tax issues.

That’s where we are in “Yellowstone” Season 5, Episode 11, titled “Three Fifty-Three” though,...

After years of waiting for a culmination “Yellowstone” is back and airing its final episodes.

The first half of Season 5 began way back in 2022 and wrapped up on New Years Day 2023. Since then fans have been waiting to know what would happen next on the Yellowstone Ranch. Two weeks ago, Season 5B finally kicked back up and fans have been rabid for more. The question now is whether or not “Yellowstone” is new this week.

The answer is yes. “Yellowstone” is new Sunday, Nov. 24 and airs at 8 pm Et/Pt on Paramount Network. This is Episode 11 of Season 5 and represents the midpoint of the final season.

If you miss the episode on Paramount Network it may be hard to catch it for a while. Eventually, “Yellowstone” will join previous seasons for streaming on Peacock but that is not happening immediately so for the time being it’s watch on Paramount...

Episode 11 Season 5 Episode 11 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Yellowstone,” titled “Episode 11,” promises to deliver more intense drama and gripping storylines. Set to air on Paramount, this episode continues to follow the struggles of John Dutton, the head of the Dutton family and owner of the largest ranch in the United States. As always, the stakes are high, and the challenges are numerous.

In this episode, John Dutton faces a new threat to his beloved ranch. Land developers are eyeing the property, eager to capitalize on its prime location. This situation puts John in a difficult position as he fights to maintain control over his land. The episode will explore the lengths to which he will go to protect his family legacy and the ranch that has been in his family for generations.

Additionally, the episode delves into the complex relationship between the Duttons and the nearby Indian reservation.

Over the course of Yellowstone’s five seasons, Jamie Dutton has done a s–t-ton of terrible things. But portrayer Wes Bentley is still rooting for the black sheep of the family — and he’s not the only one, he tells TVLine. “I find it a lot, actually. Some people clearly see that he is a damaged person who is doing his best to meet what’s expected of him.”

And, it bears mentioning, to survive. Yes, the schemer conspired with girlfriend Sarah Atwood to have his father offed, but John was also plotting with daughter Beth to have Jamie killed.

On Sunday, December 1, 2024, “Yellowstone” returns with Season 5, Episode 12, airing at 8:00 Pm on Paramount. 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.

With land developers, the neighboring Indian reservation, and even the proximity of America’s first National Park all vying for a piece of his property, John is forced to take extreme measures to ensure the survival of his ranch. 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...

Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone has been one of the most surprising hits on TV. The game of succession and power struggle between the Montana-based Yellowstone Ranch owners, the Duttons, and the city lawyers and corporations who want to urbanize the area has received praise and criticism in equal order.

With the second part of the final season being aired earlier this week, the series’ brand as a conservative-appealing show has come into question again. Sheridan has disagreed with this label and has maintained that it is a story of the history of America. Yellowstone star Wes Bentley also seems to echo the sentiment.

When thinking of movies that made a mark in history, American Beauty definitely comes to mind. The 1999 film is still remembered today for exploring the search for deeper meaning in life and shining a light on male vulnerability. Wes Bentley was one of the actors who gained the most from the project, and ever since, his work has been highly praised and in demand.

What’s most interesting is that even after 25 years, he’s still closely associated with it. The actor is currently part of the cast of Yellowstone, one of the most popular series today, but what many people don’t know is that American Beauty played a key role in landing him that part. It seems Bentley is still reaping the rewards of the film to this day.

Yellowstone spoilers reveal that Wes Bentley may have a hard time playing Jamie Dutton on the show. Now that Season Five is here, he has been talking more about the character and how it has started to weigh on him in real life.

He has played Jamie for five years and the character is one of a kid. He has been challenged by playing him and it doesn’t seem as if he ever thought a character would make him feel this way. Let’s find out why this character has been so hard for him to play.

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.

Reilly’s sly admission felt like a spark ready to ignite, teasing twists that could either thrill or tick off the die-hards. Was she just stirring the pot, or are we in for a Sheridan-sized curveball? Either way, the buzz was loud—and the fandom? Lowkey panicking.

Better believe that fans are raging over the latest ‘Yellowstone’ episode which saw Kevin Costner’s John Dutton die by a gunshot wound. The patriarch’s death was initially taken to be suicide until viewers realized that Dawn Olivieri’s Sarah Atwood – the girlfriend of John’s estranged son Jamie (Wes Bentley) – had hired a hitman to kill him.

While it marked the most viewed episode of the Paramount series so far, it is also perhaps the most negatively critiqued by fans. Some chose to see John’s death as resulting from Costner’s exit, but lead star Luke Grimes is here to tell us that it’s not essentially the case.

Spoiler Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Yellowstone, so proceed with caution.

Yellowstone Director Details John Dutton's Death and Surprise When Fans Didn't See It Coming

Yellowstone season 5 episode 9 showed John Dutton (played by Kevin Costner) dead with a gunshot wound.

Prior to the show, news had been buzzing about Costner's exit due to his year-long back-and-forth creative differences with show creator Taylor Sheridan.

"I was reading Twitter and it's strange the number of people who seemed upset that John Dutton was killed off, despite knowing that Kevin [Costner] himself said he wasn't coming back to the show,...

Yellowstone returned earlier this month with a polarizing twist that killed its leading man, John Dutton (Kevin Costner).

While John’s death perfectly set up the final episodes of Yellowstone Season 5, it was driven by Costner’s departure from the mega-hit drama amid unrest behind the scenes.

The series will now proceed without its lead, which has compelled many fans to draw some comparisons to HBO’s Succession.

The Brian Cox-fronted drama wrapped its four-season run in 2023, but its leading man was written out early in the season after his character, Logan Roy, died of a heart attack.

The aftermath focused on Logan’s children’s quest to take over the family business and outmaneuver everyone in their way.

Yellowstone seems to have a similar path forward, with vultures circling at every corner to take control of John’s land.

Fans think the similarities are now uncanny

“So Yellowstone is doing a Succession?...

Yellowstone’s landscape has changed forever with the death of the main character, John Dutton, and fans are not happy with the new view of the ranch.

Yellowstone’s patriarch, John Dutton, played by veteran actor Kevin Costner, died a gruesome death that has been labeled suicide in Season 5b, episode 9.

John’s death would happen eventually because of the sad fact that no one cheats death, but because of a dispute between Kevin Costner and the show, the death occurred prematurely.

It makes sense that a big star the size of Kevin Costner would want to greenlight his project; in this case, it was Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1.

Unfortunately, the Yellowstone filming schedule could not accommodate Kevin’s dream, and now, with John Dutton’s death, the fans are paying the price.

As Monsters and Critics have reported, fans desperately want John to remain alive and have even...

Yellowstone‘s never-ending plot twists and family politics have become so convoluted after five long seasons that the final 6 episodes may not be enough to salvage the show from certain doom. As the series makes its last stand, with the never-ending volatile tension now reaching a mercurial peak, Wes Bentley says, “If this doesn’t go well… it’s probably over.”

This statement not only echoes his character, Jaime Dutton’s fate in the finale but also how Yellowstone will go down in television history. With Kevin Costner’s patriarchal figure John Dutton now dead (written off from the show in an off-screen death), it falls on the warring siblings to shoulder the responsibility of Taylor Sheridan’s neo-Western creation and carry it to the finish line.

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.

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.

Add the latest episode of Yellowstone to the list of epic confrontations between Beth and Jamie Dutton.

The sibling rivalry at the core of the hit Paramount Network series from Taylor Sheridan has delivered some of the biggest gut-punches throughout the show’s seven-year run, particularly when the audience found out that when they were teenagers, Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentely) helped a young Beth (Kelly Reilly) get an abortion at a clinic that performed forced sterilizations without her permission. For Beth, that betrayal was unforgivable and it drives her rage in what has been billed as the epic conclusion of the series with season 5B.

In the second episode of 5B, written by Sheridan and directed by Christina Voros, Yellowstone delivered on the pair’s inevitable face-to-face meeting following the shocking news of the death of their father, John Dutton (played by departed star Kevin Costner). The premiere episode...

Spoiler Alert !!!This post contains Major spoilers for Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 10, “The Apocalypse of Change."

Yellowstone’s been one crazy ride of family drama, land feuds, and Kevin Costner’s iconic cowboy charisma. But as the dust settles on the Dutton Ranch, Kayce Dutton’s finally stepping out of the shadows. Now, with Costner’s exit leaving a Yellowstone-sized hole, Luke Grimes is set to carry the torch.

Kayce’s journey from misunderstood outsider to the heart of the Dutton empire feels like a long-overdue moment of glory. As fans brace for the next chapter, it’s clear—Yellowstone’s doubling down on Kayce, and Grimes looks ready to own it, boots, hat, and all.

Ramifications and complications are rife in Yellowstone’s The Apocalypse Of Change episode. So far: more questions than answers.

Spoilers Lie Ahead.

“This is suffer and survive. You will hate it here”

Reports from the US suggest that the ratings for last week’s return of Yellowstone – which I talked about here – drew in record ratings. All for a chapter of the story without its leading man. The novelty factor clearly kicks in of course, with many of us just wondering what Kevin Costner-less Yellowstone looks like. Now, the onus switches to how the story’s going to close out with the other five episodes of season 5.

The Apocalypse Of Change isn’t the most subtle of episode titles, not least because it’s more about talking about changes rather than making them. On the surface its opening looks quieter. Well, apart from an encounter with a rattlesnake to...

In last week’s episode of Yellowstone, viewers learned the unfortunate fate of John Dutton (Kevin Costner). The police ruled his death as a suicide, but Beth (Kelly Reilly) knew better. Later on in part two’s opener, the audience was informed that it was Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri) who hired a professional hitman (Grant Horton) to take care of the “future governor’s” little problem.

Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) did not share the same sentiment as his sister. In his heart, he sees Jamie (Wes Bentley) as a brother that he still loves. And it takes a sick and twisted soul to pull off a heinous act of this magnitude. He was not yet in the mindset to accuse his brother of such an atrocious deed. But all that has changed as more information comes to light about the Dutton heir.

We aren’t in Montana anymore

Back in Texas,...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 10, “The Apocalypse of Change.”] Luke Grimes told TV Insider ahead of the premiere of Yellowstone‘s final season that John Dutton’s (Kevin Costner) fate forces Kayce to pick a side in the civil war between his siblings. The second episode of Season 5 Part 2 showed just that. Now, Kayce is more devastated than before, leaving the military veteran in a headspace that has Monica (Kelsey Asbille) and Tate (Brecken Merrill) on high alert. Before his father’s death, Kayce never saw Jamie (Wes Bentley) as an evil force like Beth (Kelly Reilly) always has. This perception was completely shattered after Beth confronted Jamie about their father’s demise in the November 17 episode. Jamie couldn’t look Beth in the eye when she demanded answers in his office, and he wouldn’t deny Beth’s accusation that he had a hand in their father’s death. Beth never...

[This story contains spoilers from the second episode of season 5B of Yellowstone.]

Yellowstone answered its largest looming question with last week’s season 5B premiere when the Paramount Network series revealed that departed cast member Kevin Costner’s John Dutton has died, the result of a murder-for-hire plot that is masqueraded as death by suicide. With its second episode in the mega-return of TV’s No. 1 series, Yellowstone mastermind Taylor Sheridan again wasted little time before delivering on the next highly anticipated moment: What will happen when warring siblings Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) come face to face?

Yellowstone viewers got that answer when the second episode returned to the present timeline and Jamie, Montana’s Attorney General, finds his sister waiting for him in his office. In her bones, Beth knows that Jamie is responsible for their father’s death, but she needed to look him in the eyes in order to get her proof. When...

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

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...
