“Yellowstone” is about to embark on its last ride.
The hit Paramount series is returning for Season 5 Part 2 — the official end of the beloved ranch drama.
The first half of Season 5 finished in January 2023 — and then the show went on a long production hiatus due to the strikes in Hollywood and behind-the-scenes drama involving lead star Kevin Costner, who later announced his exit from the show.
Costner did, however, appear in the trailer.
Fans have been waiting a long time for the return of “Yellowstone.” For the next few weeks, they’ll be glued to their television screens to see how the Dutton family’s story ends.
Here’s how to watch “Yellowstone” Season 5 Part 2.
When is Yellowstone returning?
“Yellowstone” Season 5 Part 2 premieres on Sunday, Nov. 10, at 8 p.m. ET.
That’s nearly two years since the last episode of the show aired on Jan. 1, 2023.

Costner, 69, did not return to “Yellowstone” to shoot the second half of Season 5.
There were reports that Costner refused to be on set filming for more than one week for the second half of Season 5, which Costner’s attorney denied.
Costner and creator Taylor Sheridan were also at the center of feud rumors, which they both denied. Sheridan has made it sound like Costner quit “Yellowstone” to do his Western film series “Horizon.”
The Oscar winner officially confirmed in June 2024 that he was not returning to the show.
“I loved it and I know you loved it. I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be returning,” he said in an Instagram post. “I love the relationships that I’ve been able to develop. And I’ll see you at the movies.”
Trailer
The first teaser trailer for “Yellowstone” Season 5 Part 2 came out in late August. There’s footage of Costner saying, “Legacy. You build something worth having, someone is gonna try and take it.”
The official trailer came out on Oct. 22, and similarly featured footage of Costner. The trailer teased who will take over the Dutton family’s ranch.
