‘Yellowstone’ May Return For Season 6
on Aug 27, 2024
Get ready, Yellowstone fans. The critically acclaimed drama may not be ending after Season Five after all!
If you haven’t seen the show, Yellowstone is a Western drama television series that has become a cultural phenomenon since its debut in 2018. Created by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson, the show follows the Dutton family, led by patriarch John Dutton (played by Kevin Costner), as they fight to protect their vast cattle ranch in Montana from various threats, including land developers, a Native American reservation, and the national park that borders their property.

The series has achieved immense popularity, becoming America’s most-watched TV show. The Season 5 premiere in 2022 averaged 16 million viewers, making it the most-watched TV show of that year and the highest cable season premiere since The Walking Dead in 2017.
Yellowstone fans are eagerly awaiting the second half of Season Five, which is now filming in Montana. Kevin Costner’s departure from the show to focus on his Horizon film project has heightened the anticipation, leaving viewers curious about the series’ new direction.
Will Yellowstone be extending its run beyond the previously announced final season?
Initially set to conclude with its fifth season, Yellowstone now appears to be taking a new course. Deadline confirmed that negotiations are underway for a sixth season, with fan favorites Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) and Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler) potentially starring.
Reilly and Hauser have reportedly been in talks for new deals for months now, initially presumed to be for a spin-off series. Executives may now redirect these negotiations towards continuing the main storyline of Yellowstone itself.
