Yellowstone’s final chapter is coming soon. The show’s fifth season will be split into two parts. There were some hiccups along the way, like issues with the leading actor, Kevin Costner, and strikes by writers and actors. But now we know when the last batch of episodes will air, and there’s news about what’s next for the Yellowstone world.
The last part of season 5 will hit screens in November 2024. It was supposed to come out earlier, but the strikes slowed things down.
We’re also hearing about two new Yellowstone spin-offs in the works. One is set in today’s world, maybe called “2024”. The other is a prequel called “1944”, following in the footsteps of earlier spin-offs “1883” and “1923”.
The boss of the TV studios behind Yellowstone, Chris McCarthy, is pretty excited. He says that Yellowstone has grown from a popular US show in just five years to a worldwide hit with over 100 million fans.
McCarthy thinks the new spin-offs will take viewers on a thrilling ride with the gripping storytelling that made Yellowstone famous. He credits the show’s creator, Taylor Sheridan, for making it a big deal.
The “2024” spin-off will happen after the leading show ends. It’ll likely keep telling stories about the Dutton family but with new faces and places. We don’t know much about “1944” yet.
As for the original Yellowstone, Kevin Costner might not be in it as much for the final episodes. Sheridan says Costner wanted to work less so he could focus on his western project. Costner mentioned in an interview that there were money issues and creative differences.
