AceShowbiz - "Yellowstone" has finally resumed its season 5 filming. Paramount Network announced on Monday, May 20 that the megahit series is currently filming the second half of its season 5 in Montana.
The first half of "Yellowstone" season 5 consists of eight episodes. The second and final installment, meanwhile, reportedly will have six episodes. The final episodes of season 5 are slated to debut on Paramount Network in November.
There's no news on the cast members or whether star Kevin Costner will make an appearance in the final episodes. Season 5 is expected to conclude the series.
Production on the final episodes of season 5 was previously delayed due to the dual writers' and actors' strikes. Additionally, Kevin reportedly planned to exit the show in season 5 over scheduling drama between the actor and showrunner Taylor Sheridan. It was said that Kevin wanted to focus on the epic Western feature "Horizon" which limited his availability to film "Yellowstone".
Recently, Kevin said he wanted to return to the show to finish off his character. "I'd like to be able to do it but we haven't been able to … I thought I was going to make seven [seasons] but right now we're at five," he explained. "So how it works out - I hope it does - but they've got a lot of different shows going on. Maybe it will. Maybe this will circle back to me. If it does and I feel really comfortable with [it], I'd love to do it."
The first half of "Yellowstone" aired between November 2022 and January 2023. It ended with a cliffhanger with Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) having just thrown down the gauntlet against his sister Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly). Father John Dutton (Costner), meanwhile, appeared to be about to usher in an all-out war between the family members.
