For those unfamiliar with the series, "Yellowstone" starred Kevin Costner as family patriarch John Dutton . It follows the continued exploits of the Dutton family and the conflicts surrounding their Montana cattle ranch along with the family troubles on the ranch and those encroaching on its borders. While additional seasons were originally planned, Costner's decision to leave the series to pursue his own projects led to the truncated ending. A new show, "The Madison," will continue the franchise with a 2025 premiere.

Is it Season 5, Part 2 or Season 6 of "Yellowstone"? A representative from the Paramount Network has confirmed that the remaining new episodes are indeed being looked at as Part 2 of Season 5 and not a new, separate season.

Why is Kevin Costner not returning to "Yellowstone"? Costner announced in a June 20 Instagram post that he would not be returning to the show after previously saying that he would have liked to return for later seasons before Sheridan decided to pivot to a new upcoming sequel.

The primary reason was Costner's desire to get his longstanding project, "Horizon: An American Saga," off the ground. Part one premiered at Cannes earlier this year. Unfortunately, it garnered less-than-stellar reviews and earned only $11 million in its opening weekend. It was recently announced that Chapter 2 has been pulled from its August theatrical release. It will instead premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September.

What are the "Yellowstone" prequel shows and where can I watch them? At present, two prequels of "Yellowstone" have aired. The first was "1883′′ which came out in December 2021. The second, "1923," premiered in December 2022. Both are available to watch exclusively on Paramount+ . A third prequel, "1944," was recently announced.

"1883′′ stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill as the Dutton family ancestors who first made their way from Texas to Montana in the years following the Civil War and is the generation responsible for founding the family's ranch.

"1923′′ stars Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren as a new generation of Duttons dealing with new problems of the times, including Western expansion, Prohibition as well as the economic problems brought on by the Great Depression.
